Carving with Romaxx Pics

[romaxxcnc]

This came out of the machine like this. The tooling marks are actually in the G-code to simulate gouge marks from carving. No sanding, this is exactly how it came from the Romaxx



A more detailed pic showing the toolmarks simulated with the code.

Thanks, Ron

Looks good. what kind of wood? what tool was used? what was the size? how long did it take?

Sample cut facts:

Wood: some scrap walnut
Cutter: Hertel, 1/4", 4 flute, carbide, ballnose endmill

time: I think this ran at a modest 125ipm. So a 4"x10" area, XY rastered at 0.010" passes was something like 30 minutes.

I really like the effect that gives of hand carving. Did you edit the g-code directly or use some other type of program?

Cam software did that. Something like that will have like 50,000+ lines of g-code in a square foot.

People seem to like Vcarve Pro by Vectric. www.vectric.com/

I'm not sure if it could do something like whats shown above or not.
