Leonard, looks great also. What I would do if I were you is to buy some drywall anchors and screw them into the wall then use screws to attach the coat rack to the wall. If you have plaster they have anchors for that purpose.

Good job

I like the Mastercam toolpath generation, donno why the art cam wants to do same speed everywhere - I like the way your machine slows down when encountering a 3d and accelerated on a flat, btw what post processor on mastercam do you use.

My post is just a fanuc with a few mods made to it. I dont think it is all in the software I use. I have my accel set very high compared to most people which gives me some of this. The machine can only reach my plunge and feed rate when it gets to a straight cut. I will use a plunge rate of 100 or 200 IPM and a feed rate of 200 to 400 IPM most of the time as I try to program so that I never plunge into the material. That is one of the reason I make a cut around the part first.And keep the tool down as much as possible. I also try to reduce any long rapid moves if I cut anything over 600 IPM when the model is large enough to do so, of coarse I mainly cut 3D stuff. I would be glad to share my motor settings with you, if you would like to try them.
