_Michael's Dovetail Guide

The spoil board grid was done with my laser. It is centered on the spoil board. If you have the sensors and can home your machine, I suggest writing down the machine coordinates of the center position as well as saving them to a workspace or making a macro in gSender. That way you can always get your machine centered quickly.

Here is my spoil board graphic, in crv and svg format. Vectric Desktop let me create a project bigger than 24"x24". I’m assuming it just won’t create the G-Code for such a large project. I exported the svg and used LightBurn to burn it. I just designed in VCarve because I’m more familiar with it.

EDIT: I forgot it would display the image, the just right click and “Save Image As” to get the SVG file.

EDIT2: Now that you have made a pretty spoil board, watch the following to learn how to not ruin it.
