Raised Round toolpath flipped? (The edges are down and the center is up)
Hello
I am fairly new to Carveco Maker+. Could I get some help on this matter from you?
In the picture, I have created a cup with the Raised Round toolpath and cut it out with the Profile toolpath. In the picture, I've tried to illustrate what I'm trying to do with blue lines.
I would like to turn the cup into a bowl, i.e. turn the piece over and make the other side of the dome into a cup. I've tried looking for help in different tutorials, but I can't really find a solution to this.
I have managed to learn how to create a double-sided piece. I use a jig.
I used to use Vectric software with a chamfer toolpath, with which this was easily achieved by changing the toolpath settings.

Okay, I went and used a 2 inch thick material 10 inches square I used 3 vectors 2 round and one square, the round ones were 5.2 and 5.7 inches. I used 2 raised round toolpaths, all from the material top, didn't use a back relief. Set the required requirements then hogged it out with a 1/4 inch ball end mill.
Try to use just one side of the material, if you are going to use both sides you will have to index the thing on at least 2 or maybe 3 sides. If you are making a bowl and you want to make it fancy and have the backside cut also then we might be able to help very little (it's been years since I did any of that)
