I see you are using Millimeters for feed rate. Is the machine running in metric or does the post processor do a conversion to inches?

You're scaring me now. I hope I don't screw this up. Heading out there tomorrow morning. Where do you see mm?? My model is in metric, but I am entering feeds and speeds in inches/second.Comment

Wife let me play with boats all afternoon! This CNC stuff is worse than watching grass grow. The vacuum table mounts are cool until they slip and ruin your entire project after you have 2 hours into it. I think the cowl is too wide anyhow. All the 3D work I've been doing has an iso perspective and I've lost track of the width. I'm going to to pull one next time I'm up there and see what it looks like on the boat. Who knows, maybe it will look 'tough'. It's wider than the UL-1 by 20mm.Attached FilesComment

Sorry, I don't wan you to make second guesses because of my post, I'm just anal with feed rates since my first trial on a 10' x 20' router table ended with a $2000 cutter being destroyed and luck the rest of the $250,000 machine survived.Nortavlag Bulc

Ray - I think my underlying wood was too small. Some of the vacuum chamber area was not covered. Live and learn. I'm glad you mentioned the mm/inch thing though. Turns out the shopbot only accepted in/s, so I had to change everything.
Larry - What display are you talking about? I had the boats sitting in the hallway to dry while I was messing around in the wood shop. Is that what you are talking about? Two white boats? Anyhow, why didn't you come see me!! I was eating pie as well!!Comment

I decided to just pull a couple cowls in the basement here using the make-shift vacuum former out of an old fridge drawer. It actually pulled a lot of detail. Not happy with the shape. Going to cut another one.
Hulls are coming along great. Dry sanded again with 800 paper. They look pretty good at this point. Ready for top coat.

Well, I've seriously optimized this sucker. Amazing how much differently you do things the 'second time'!!! I angled the entire model to reduce the material height and the end mill extension. The size reduction will save a ton on machining time. Hopefully get this licked this weekend.Attached FilesComment
