Makes sense, right? But be aware that, as in my case, some material is quite thin. A 90 degree bit will cut shallower holes than a 60 degree bit. Ok, after setting this correctly things started pulling together. No it doesn’t even look like it you idiot! lol. I don’t know how long I had been trying to get good results using a 90 degree bit and setting this to 45 degrees. Tool angle – This is the slap your head cuz you’re a moron setting.

I don’t have any experience with changing this setting so I will update this part as I get more time to experiment.

Feed – This controls how quickly your CNC machine actually moves up and down.

So long as the bit clears the material anything above that minimal clearance is a waste of time. Even a slight adjustment to this will have substantial effects to this time. Essentially the rule is, the higher it has to go before moving, the longer it will take to finish your project.

Safe Z – This is the minimum height your bit will be raised above the surface of your material prior to movement to the next location.

Since I am using a Dewalt 611 router that is not controllable in speed by the software, the only settings that mean anything are Safe Z, Feed and Tool Angle. The screen shot shows the settings I used for this example. You can experiment with the other setting and see what will happen in the preview. This means that if do not change the spacing but change the max size, the number of holes will not change, they will just get grouped closer together as you increase the size. I think spacing needs to be at least or slightly smaller than the max size and the measurement is from origin to origin of each hole. Anything smaller and you have to make too small of holes or too few to get it to fit and the result doesn’t have enough detail. My experience thus far is to make a halftone that is at least 400mm in one direction. This tab allows you to define the specifications of the halftone itself.

Save yourself some frustration and heed this advice! Generator That aside, there seems to be an error in Halftoner that will not convert from inches to millimeters when writing the G-Code (or maybe the sender needs to know that the data is inches). I cannot tell you what a headache it was to work in inches when everything (including the X-Carve itself) is laid out in millimeters. Again, I am going to use Halftoner v1.5 for this example.

And, even if you do have a RIP, it is a real pain to change the RIP to the correct frequency, angle and dot shape for each job now that there is no longer a Screen button. BUT, if you don’t have a RIP, then this is the next best thing.

A standard software RIP (raster image processor) not only converts a file to halftones but also controls ink volumes, nesting of multiple images on one page, and printing with black ink from all the ink slots (to conserve ink).

The T-Seps Halftone Converter is not a full “RIP”. After running the program simply print the individual files to a software RIP like T-RIP (or any brand of RIP), print the files direct to an inkjet printer or laser printer, or save the indiviual files and print them from Corel or Illustrator. (This program does not create color separations.) In fact the program works on one-color grayscale images that need to be converted to halftones, too. The T-Seps Halftone Converter is a Photoshop plug-in that takes any channel separation you created in any version of Photoshop on a Mac or PC and converts those seps into individual files that are already halftoned and ready to print. Adobe removed the Screen button starting with CS5 and now it is much harder to make these settings. Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t call to say they upgraded to Photoshop CS5, CS6 and CC and they can’t find the “Screen” button that they use to set the halftone frequency, angle, and dot shape. Do you need a way to convert Photoshop files to halftone dots? Are you searching for the missing “Screen” button in Photoshop CS5, CS6 and CC?
