Hi all, first post here, I am waiting for the delivery of my X-Carve which hopefully will be here at the end of Feb. I am currently making a box for a friends wedding and do not think I will receive the X-Carve in time. Is there any X-Carve owners near W London who (For a Beer) would be able to help me out and carve a project for me? all there best Ian ---

Currently using the 1/16th bit it won’t cut a lot of your text. You’ll need to either increase the size of the text until the 1/16th bit can cut everything or use a smaller bit. The simulate tool is a really big help for checking your design. ---

You could try to use the two stage carve with the first cut with a 1/16 bit and then get the details with a 1/32 bit. ---

Jack that sounds brilliant, if you let me know when you are free and PM me your details I could pop down. I had the choice of getting other CNC Routers but the main reason for the X-Carve was the brilliant forum and backup, just goes to show I made the right choice. ---
