Hi,

If you divide a part from an axis, milled on the outside, with the same tool, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get the complete final shape when assembling.

additionnel sheet are create when using nesting feature or manually

hi Alex

we don’t have the up to date vcarve so we only have one sheet, but i did understand the node edit mode to cut the shape in half which i have done but can you just answer my question about the toolpath that it will cut outside the shape and when joined it will be correct size.

 

Thanks Caroline

Hi Alex

Thank you for doing that for us, i have hopefully the last questionconfused the seating area is bigger than the boards we are using so we have to split it into 2 pieces down the middle and then join them, I am sending you the file from vcarve (board size is 1220 x 2440) can you show me how to do this please?  Also i have the toolpath done can you check that its correct so that when the 2 parts are machined they will be the exact size of the full part.  

Hope this makes sense 

Thanks Caroline

Hi Isaac

I have shown the video to Damien in the workshop we think the first drawing didn’t pin point the radius centre point.  (where you put in 530 for 1st arc do we add 530 + 480 to get the first arc????)

 

I am attaching another sketch hope this makes sense

 

Thanks Caroline

Hello Caroline,

See the following video for drawing these shapes in VCarve:

Additionally, see the following video for importing into PolyBoard:

Let me know if you have any further questions.
