Pirate Skull

Post by tnbndr »

Tom has been posting dxf files for awhile now and I am just setting up my table so I decided to try one of his files as my first artsy test cut. This is his Pirate Skull piece. It opened fine in Autocad and Sheetcam and imported to Mach 3 with no issues. I use layers for inside and outside cuts so I can apply different tools to them as per my training at LDR so the only changes I made were to put things on proper layers.
Thanks Tom, Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Wow Dennis that looks great, thanks for the post.

Now that I see how the end result looks, I see something I forgot to do. That long cutout that runs parallel with the rim of his hat, I was going to join it back up in a couple places to give the piece more straight. I think I'll delete the dxf file and re-post.

Thanks again Dennis, you've made my day! :D

@762, yes am quite pleased so far. Setup following Dan's training has gone better than expected.
