Hi everyone,
I just purchased the files from Etsy and got vcarve pro trial version. Watched a video on basic vcarve operations. Loaded wasteboard file saw the three toolpaths, At this point I have some confusion and want to ask you some question, if they make sense.
It looks like I will be making one slat at a time. Will I need to flip the board to run the toolpath for Outside circle?
I checked the machining time in vcarve pro and it is 52:31 for one slab. It seems a lot. Does it really take that much time? Can I safely speed it up?
Should I surface the slats after fixing them to the table? Or just surface the sacrificial board only that will be on top of these slats?
It looks like there may be several files/things to cut (wasteboard and fixtures). There’s no way for forum members to know what you have loaded, and probably not wise to share purchased files here.
My apologies. I never intended to share purchased files. Actually, I read here in the forum that several members bought and made this wasteboard. My questions were basically to those members. I should have made this clear the first time.
Thanks for your advice.

Another vote to contact the seller. He is very responsive and I am sure he can help you out.
That said, I ended up cutting the dog holes all the way through the MDF and playing around with the vcarve files until I got the fir I wanted for the dogs.
