Help! -need a ready-made chair design

[dhunt]

We are in need of a ready-made (.dxf) kitchen chair design
that can be cut out of 3/4 in. plywood.

Kitchen chair / dining chair design. No armrest.
Simple. Upright back.

Client intends to use slip-covers over said chair, and provide their own cushions
-we're just doing the basic chair.

Anyone got any ideas? Sources for free .dxf files we might use?

would the library chair design work for you?

There's this one at the Ready-To-Go Projects link on SB's site.

Here's another variation.

Here's another variation.It's looking like we might use this chair design found on the SBProjects webpage


I've had a look at the Tutororial, I've got my 3/4 ply on the table (at about 0.730 in. thickness)
got my X and Y zeroed at bottom left of the table
Router ON -Dust vacuum ON. I'm ready to roll.

Set the downloaded DeskChair690.sbp file in motion
only to get a dialog box stating it can't proceed
becoz it can't find a file in SBparts/Custom by the name of Custom9.sbc


I've now investigated the relevant folder to find I have them all but only as far 'up' at Custom8.sbc.

We are running SB Control software 3.4.27 on an 11 yr.old PRT-96

How do I acquire Custom9.sbc
I see Custom90, 91, 92, 99,
Do I just abbreviate the names of one of them??

Help?

David,

Knowing that you're running the older software and are used to running code that VectorCam puts out, just open that file and edit out all the stuff/fluff that you don't need in the file at the beginning and at the end. If you need/want some different speed vaules, safe Z values, file end values, etc., manually add them in.

I did an FE on the file, to see all the cute stuff leading up to the numeric code
and have copied a normal (Vector-9 generated) "intro" -and pasted in where seems appropriate.

Will now try it with this modified .sbp file, with Red Stop Button in hand! :D

Don't bother with the files that you have missing as you'll just open many cans of worms and need more to make those work. ;)

since I seem to have successfully edited the cut file and I'm already in business, cutting..
but not before discovering that the first command MS was to alter my set Move Speed up to 2.30 inches per sec (kinda fast for our operation!)
I reset that to a more comfortable 1.0 and things are going well!

Got it cut...
including a minor incident midway, where it stopped to tell me it couldn't find some kinda tool-change? auto-routine or sumthin.
I said OK, thinking it would finish there.. but no
it jogged somewhere else and cut the rest of the file at 3 ins. per second!

Only thing I ever do at 3 ins./second is surface the table, cutting about 30 thou into the MDF!
...so that was eyebrow-raising for awhile. :)

Thankfully the file download also included a .dxf file, which I will re-work with Vector-9
to suit our slower speeds and material thicknesses.

Our trial chair from the SB projects webpage cut and assembled nicely
although we find it necessary to extend the legs to make the chair an inch taller.

We're making six of them, with the possibility of more needed later
and so we are re-working the supplied .dxf drawing to better suit production.

Upon closer inspection,
the drawings of the chair profiles needed some cleaning up
