How to "Semi-Manually" Calculate a surface width of a V-Bit Carve

[Rcannon95]

I have been struggling to come up with a good way to figure out the surface width of a carve using a V-Bit at a certain depth. After some help from a few friends, I now have a simple tutorial on how to do just that. This is mainly useful for doing basic designs the F-Carve and the likes would be overkill. Let me know if you have any feedback, this is just a v0.1.

Yeah, that was supposed to be a 60° v bit example, I will fix the pdf in the morning.

Edit: I actually just fixed

Wow, I have been looking for something like that for ages. Where/how did you find it?

Google?

I made this calculator awhile back

Engraving / PCB Trace Width Calculator

I got tired of pulling out my calculator to get the trace width for such and such depth and this bit angle but what’s the tip diameter. Engraving / PCB Trace Width Calculator This allows you to enter the bit angle and tip diameter and get the trace width with a % safety depth OR a set depth safety offset(because you wouldn’t want to mill 1.4 mils of copper at a depth of exactly 1.4 mil) It also allows you to enter the bit angle, tip diameter, and depth of cut if you have something else in min…

You can download it as a number of different file types, as well as “make a copy” for your own Google drive to modify the values.
