I'll dome and paint with "old copper" metallic paint so might not need to harden it with shellac. I'll try and get back with results when I do. Thanks for the tip about Warpdrive, shall certainly look into it. I was thinking of creating an STL file for the dome shape but projecting toolpath distorts the carving just a tiny bit, so Warpdrive might be the better option.<br /><br />I just entered "Black MDF New Zealand" in my favourite search engine and came up with a couple of interesting links (Just in case you are thinking of going for it).<br />Thanks for all the information you provide in your videos Peter, and if you ever turn up in Berlin, Germany, I'll be glad to say thanks personally. The nearest I have been to NZ was Sydney.<br />PradeepPradeepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051861043747335506.post-41253298945457651132018-05-13T16:51:15.992-07:002018-05-13T16:51:15.992-07:00Hi Pradeep

I then VCarved into ther new surface after sealing it with Shellac to harden it. I used a program called warpdrive to create the dome and then to distort the VCarve Gcode to match the front curve. I haven't seen colored MDF here but it is possible that someone imports it into the country. It will save on the final painting for sure.<br />Cheers<br />PeterCNCnutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539818288224116936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051861043747335506.post-78103469930245623932018-05-13T08:57:51.726-07:002018-05-13T08:57:51.726-07:00BTW, we get 19 mm black MDF (through and through b...BTW, we get 19 mm black MDF (through and through black coloured), so I'll try the carving on that.Pradeepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051861043747335506.post-4863289055452613952018-05-13T08:55:36.849-07:002018-05-13T08:55:36.849-07:00Hi Peter, you mentioned here in a post and also in...Hi Peter, you mentioned here in a post and also in the live session with Dave Gatton, that you domed MDF to get a thinner edge.

I tried one already but it went a bit pearshaped. Wee bits were breaking off. I suppose its part of the learning curve. I've now bought some sanding sealet and applied three coats to my MSG as I've read that toughens it up. All advice would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />RichardTricky The Truckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543410395578371384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051861043747335506.post-10725573872678537992017-11-10T02:19:42.153-08:002017-11-10T02:19:42.153-08:00Hi Richard,
I made my flat depth 7mm but for a 90 ...Hi Richard,<br />I made my flat depth 7mm but for a 90 degree cutter i could have left it without one and it would have been just as good. A flat depth is set to stop the Vbit going any deeper and potentially cutting through the material. Also if you set a flat depth you can specify a different cutter to remove the excess material at the bottom depth which is more effieient. I created a file with a 60 degree cutte and found it goes to a depth of 16.5mm. If I was using 18mm MDF I wouldn't need to se a flat depth but if i was using 12mm I would need to set a depth less than 12mm to ensure it didn't break through. The 7mm was a hang over from my original Aztec Calendar which I curved and the outside edges were ony 7mm thick so I made sure it didn't go deeper. I could have done without the flat depth on the one in the video.<br />Hope this makes sense.<br />Cheers<br />Peter <br />CNCnutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539818288224116936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051861043747335506.post-17552617608434059162017-11-09T05:51:35.536-08:002017-11-09T05:51:35.536-08:00IS that the flat depth?
