Carving Pumpkins with Handibot

Carving Pumpkins with Handibot

I had some folks over for dinner last night and decided to rope them into helping me decorate for halloween by designing and carving some pumpkins with my handibot!
I put together a quick video of the project here: [www.youtube.com]

Nice!

Looks like a 1/8" bit about 2 - 2 1/2 inches long? I'm guessing a spiral "o"?

Did you just set the depth of cut really high because it is a pumpkin? Looks like you did everything in a single pass.

The bit is that tapered 1/8" ball nose--which is just the longest, thinnest bit I have on hand. I set it to cut 1.5" deep. In the past I've done these on an indexer but I realized that if I chose my pumpkin carefully and used a really long bit I wouldn't have to spin the pumpkin during cutting.
