Making a sign with lettering and a graphic. Made a pattern from an imported PNG pic for the graphic part. The rest is just text.
Board measures 1/4 in. thick by 48 in long by 11 7/8 in wide. Is attached to a sled that is 1/2 in. thick by 56 in long by 11 7/8 in wide with 1/4 in. by 4 in by 11 7/8 in fillers at the ends.
The carve immediately went through the board and has gone into the sled by what looks to be 1/16 in. I can't seem to figure out what I've done wrong. Appreciate any help. MPC & pic attached.
Verified the bit is tight in the chuck, also had noticed there was no 'draft' on the edge of the cutting while the MPC shows 1/4 in. Also the cut out area doesn't seem to match the design of the pattern, appears way to rounded to me.
Thx,
Rick H
