The new El Ocho & 8mm

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

I used the two new V tools at:

A technique for painting multi-colour files

Given a file: [image] If one re-draws geometry in-between the lines: [image] Then it may be assigned to a shallow No Offset Contour toolpath with an obtuse V endmill (90 degree was used): (the insets were simplified down to match the aggregate of each of the colour regions) [image] and then cut (my apologies, no picture) and painted: [20251013_1236501] Then, once painted, the V carve proper may be run: [20251013_1312021]

and have been quite pleased w/ them.

That said, they really want the torque which a spindle affords.
