Jim I sent the .cvr file to your e-mail.
any tips on the settings would be appreciated. I guess I did not even really set up the tools I just used what vcarve has as default.
Rapid trans...
Plunge rate...
RPM...
feed rate...
pass depth...
stepover... %
does anyone have the fourmula for figuring out the chip rate to get the speed? it is something like rpm/number of flutes x bit size or something.

There's a thread on Vectric's forum about different texture settings, but I don't really think you'll be able to get a wood looking texture from VCarve Pro.anyone know how to get good wood grain textures? I seem to only get rocks>>>or something that resembles rocks

was it you that posted sometime ago that you had done this for a job (the texture files) jim
I supose I have to drop 6 grand for enroute then ah.
i got a post from some one asking about IWF so i thought id post my experience for those who may be going for the first time!! prepare for all you know to be expanded. i went to my first iwf in 96 and tried to see it in one day on the last day, it is impossible!! i was so dissapointed and i had to wait two years for the next one, yes i went to greensboro and the woodworking shows in charlotte nc, but they just dont come close to iwf, if it is your first show try to go for at least two days, after seeing it once or twice i breeze by most of it, but the first time it's a lot to see.
i am sure there are others who will post on IWF experiences as it is a must see if you are in one of many trades beginning with woodworking.
there are three major worldwide shows IWF. in even # years, LAS VEGAS in odd# years and LIGNA in germany. all of the major machinery, woodworking supplies and lots of crossover trade is on display and running all compenents, parts and materials as well, prepare to buy bits blades. but most of all come to learn and make contacts that will benifit you, if you have or purchase software there is lots of time with the companies and thier techs face to face. i always take my guys as after we return there is improvements in our shop as they get to see how things work, this year i will stay four days the guys will probably come for one. i intend to help bill with the router some and enjoy atlanta ( bill does not know it yet but i would like to stick my harley in the booth "good for chicks and photographs") bill will be back from fla this week he has had to stay an extra few days as some guys from ft lauderdale came to see machines and he has finished tool changer machine in st augustine
he has helped me with sign files at night. now that we are really using the machine i am begining to feel the angst for the tool changer, on the first machine i did not think i would need it but now i know, this machine i have now will be consigned to cutting cabinet parts.
i have only missed one iwf since 96

this is one of my favorite parts of the show it is interesting to see what a student can do

You might be able to do something like that with VCarve. I thought you wanted a realistic woodgrain texture.

The biggest, cheapest, coolest mindblowing experience that I have ever had. I think my first time was in 1986 because we bought Cabinet Vision in 1990. We'd been eyeing it for some time. Don't get me wrong, it's an expensive trip dollar wise but the educational value is priceless. We have never come away from an IWF without something to improve our shop. Sometimes it's equipment and sometimes it's knowledge. Plan on staying for at least several days or you'll never see it all. Sit down and map out the vendors that you know you want to see and visit them first. Then GRAZE !!!
It's easy to get hung up on something that is really amazing to watch but has no value to you or your business. Move on! Most of all, have fun!
Jim McGrew ...... what can I say ? THANKS!!
