How detailed does the Shapeoko XXL cut?

[fenrus (Arjan van de Ven)]

previously I posted some examples of landscape cuts here if you want to see what can be done:

Red Pin Terrain carve

[IMG_20200201_080349] (first I want to plug Easy (or at least straightforward) Terrain Relief Models that post, which is really the do-it-all howto on terrain carving) Ever since I clicked the order button on the Carbide3D shop website for my 3XL, one of the things I’ve wanted to make a terrain cut of the area I live in with a big “you are here” pin. I’m quite pleased with the result, you can even see (if you look in the right light) the house blocks and roads in the neighborhood and the cut…

The three volcanoes of N Oregon and S Washington

Mount Hood volcano in 4 tiles

So I needed an excuse to test my new Amana 1/2" cutter (with a 1/4" shaft so it fits my ER11 nicely) while adding it to my STL cam tool… and decided to do an old staple, the Mt Hood volcano… but I also needed an excuse to test another toy out. [PXL_20201123_035829253] [PXL_20201123_035726789] [PXL_20201123_035749155] So the 1/2" bit for roughing cuts amazing. 2mm DOC at 80 IPM and it doesn’t even break out a sweat, But as you may notice, this was not cut out of a single 10"x10"x1" piece …
