Happy Saturday Folks! I did my second carve last night and created a sign 24x12” in size. The overall design was fairly simple with some text over text and various pockets for a 3d effect. Being new to all of this, I used all of the default settings for each bit. The overall job ended up taking over 5 hours to complete. I feel like I either did something wrong or that the settings could be altered to cut down the cutting time. The wood was some white pine I had laying around the shop. I’ve attached a photo of the project. Wondering if someone can let me know if the time seems appropriate or not? I can provide further info if anyone needs it. Cheers! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/2X/c/c7044dc203b8e5781b767ad3f40f369059dab422.jpeg) ---

The time will depend on the bit diameters you’ve used, stepover, feed rates etc - 5 hours seems a bit long for that project but if you used a 1/8" bit for the whole thing then I can see it taking that long. ---

Check for jerk settings and z height above material, should significantly cut down the time
