I'm trying to cut out a shape for a table shelf. I need 2 tenons to come through the supports and have a hole in each for the wedge to snug it all up. Mission style. When I try to carve it the default shows I need to "auto jig." When it carved it took a width of 7" down to about 2". I'm guessing it has an issue with the wide cut across the board, but changing the design to Munchkin size doesn't help.
Under tools I cannot select cut path. It is gray and won't highlight so I can put in tabs, which I thought might help.
It's a really basic layout, but I'm just not getting it. Table Shelf Practice.mpc I can finish the side cuts with a hand saw and same with wedge holes. I can also forget the wedge holes and use the mortise machine, but would rather have the precision of this machine.
If I get this to work I'll punch mortises in the supports to match up. Again, the mortise machine can do it, but it will look much better with this--if I can make it happen.
Thanks
