The finished scan changes the measurements. Its still 2 1/2" long. But the tail is about 3/16". The carved piece is about 3/32 too thick. I set the depth to be about 1/16" from the bottom. The bottom sides of the carved piece comes out with a 1/8" + perfectly straight vertical cut, not round like the model.
Should I sandwich two boards, so that I can cut thru the first to let the vertical cut and extra thickness go to the bottom board.
Why is the tail coming out too small. Don't know if I have explained this well. But hope someone understand what I an trying to say.
