Benchtop Questions

[oscarg1971]

OK got my Benchtop and list of questions. My Benchtop came with a plywood base. Is that just a base to put a spoilboard on?

Question #2:
I've tried a couple of V-Carves. I've measured and board and and created "my name" with the fonts in PW2. I also tried it in V-Carve pro. Well it looks good and semetrical on screen but when I cut it, the font looks smaller and it is offset on the board. Instead of center it is a little lower left on the board. I have the benchedtop homed out on the lower left corner of the plywood base. So I don't understand why my lettering is offset the way it is. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks, Oscar

Oscar,

Check in V carve pro and make sure that the "use origin offset" on the material setup menu is not selected.

In fact, it would be a good idea to select it, input an offset of 1" in X and Y and then deselect it. See where the thin grey lines are in each case. (They cross at 0,0.)

I hope this is your problem (and solution).
