I found this leaf pattern online, converted it to svg and on hard wood (ash) or softer wood (alder) it just looks terrible and I have to clean up the edges with a chisel.
Is something loose? Am I doing something wrong?
I’m using a new 60 degree bit from Tools Today, 50 in/min feed rate, 20 in/min plunge rate, 0.05 in depth per pass. Only going 1/8" down.
Looks like a bad file to me… What program did you use to convert the image to SVG?
I found a similar leaf and made a new SVG.
Try this one: https://easel.inventables.com/projects/f7dCJtpbslFLda5EA8H9kA
It should cut really clean. If not, it’s probably your machine/settings. Also, did you do a roughing pass or was that all with your 60deg?
Are you sure you’re using a 60° bit?

Hey Luke,
I did the whole thing with the 60 degree bit cuz it was fairly small.
The link you attached said the page couldnt be found. I’d love to try your svg!
