A friend from India has commissioned me to make him a cutting board. I am going to try and do an inlay of the Ashoka Chakra from the Indian Flag. I found a free .svg that I imported in to Create. My problem seems to come when creating the toolpaths. I tried Select All on the design tab, went to toolpaths and selected VCarve, #302 60 degree bit, starting depth 0.000, finish depth 0.300.
Ran the simulation and very little shows up. Is this because the cut is so shallow?
I tested an inlay last week
60 degree bit
I’ll look up the depths I used for male and female and post them
Once did I put a pocket cut to take it down by 0.01 at a time until it hit the female surface
I only did half as I was pleased how it was coming out
More likely the difficulty is that you are selecting too much — also depth limiting will interfere — best to not do that unless you specifically want that effect.
What’s the dia of the circle
The male part is not an issue but for the female you going to have to set a bottom depth for sure
I’m trying to trace the picture in inscape to see what it looks like on my software
I traced your picture in inscape then converted to vector, ran a Vcarve for the female first
Then drawn another circle around your design selected all and Vcarve again with a 1/4” end mill to clear and a 60 degree Vbit to finish off
