Have you ever engraved a large project on your CNC and it just turned out… funky? If one part of the carve looks good and another part doesn’t, the most likely problem is FLATNESS. But hey, if there’s an easy fix, it’s not much of a problem.
When using any type of engraving bit, like a v-bit or a tapered ball nose bit, the depth of cut will significantly affect the appearance of the engraving. To get the best results out of your engraving, flatness is paramount!
In this video, we’ll run a simple test to demonstrate how the flatness of your wasteboard and your material can affect a carve. If you want better results out of your engraving projects, adding one simple step to the process can save you TONS of material, and your sanity.
