This is related to the Fireball Whiskey topic - I performed an Advanced v-carve to pocket out around the logo. Job is done in hardwood - white oak. I used the hardwood defaults (stepover, feed/speed) for the (201?) 1/4" bit… I can grab the exact numbers if needed.
The whole process worked very well, except for a couple of areas where the pocketing left fuzzy wood bits.
I should note this only happened in one area of the whole job.
I’m not sure what it’s called
is there an explanation? Did I do something wrong ? - software bug?
Post a shot of the cutter paths in those areas.
I suspect it’s an anomoly in the pocket algorithm. It could be a transition area where it’s the last pass in a region, where the cutter lifts & moves to another spot. Sometimes the overlap doesn’t quite catch all the material. What was your stepover set to? Perhaps reducing it by just a little bit would catch those areas.
You can also clean these off pretty quickly with a flat sided knife / chisel if you don’t want to re-run a job. I abuse my marking knife to flat trim the hairies off.
