20 different ways to accomplish the same thing. I made my spoiler board bigger than the center of the end mill can reach. i used a IDC 1 1/2" surfacing bit. To surface use the GSender built in toolpath creator. It takes the endmill Center to the line not the end mill to the line. This mean the surfacing bit overhangs the line by 3/4" on all sides. Alternatively, if I were to write a file for it, I would start in a Profile tool path "On the line" and a then a Pocket to the same depth.

I'm very new to CNC routing and glad that I discovered your channel. It's certainly put me on the right path. Thank you

keep up the good videos man!!! your a hero to many many people!

Hi everyone

V-Carve Pro will not import an STL file, right? I noticed you are using Aspire ( I have both V-Carve and Aspire trial versions downloaded and am trying to figure out what's right for my setup)

Thanks 😊

Did you create the pirate svg, Mark?

Thankyou,Gracias.

thanks I am a builder and started CNC and looking for solid information thanks for posting you can also find a fret spacing preogram at stewart macdonald for free and is easy to use

helpful; thanks

Outstanding lesson. Each lesson reminds me of something I had forgotten. Thanks

Another well done video and great explanation.

You mentioned sheets a few times this past month, so I finally checked out the sheet thingy. This design feature is totally awesome! Now I know how to keep all of my project tool paths in one VCarve Pro document. I was making separate VCarve document per board size...pounding my head on the workbench....Thank you for the video Mark!

Hi Mark! I'm binge watching your videos as I work in the shop. You made an interesting comment on changing the XY Datum to the bottom left before you carve. Why don't you use the center of mass XY Datum for carving?

Thanks mark. Always easy to understand your topics.

So aspire isn't a 3d modeller like sketchup? Why is it then $2000.

We've never used a CNC machine, much less the software needed to operate one, yet we still ended up purchasing a Zenbot 4896. We just finished assembling it and are in the process of learning how to use it to complete a project. Videos such as this have been a great source of help, as they answer what, to many, might seem like pretty dumb questions, but when you know nothing, literally, about this sort of thing, well, I suppose there's no such thing as a dumb question. Incidentally, we plan to eventually upload the videos of us trying to figure this process out. Thanks for taking time to post a video on what must seem like something everyone should already know.

Older but relevant tks mark

Mark, you never cease to amaze me. I'm a fairly experienced VCarve user yet in my downtime figured I'd watch your upgraded V12 video and still learned a few new things. I'll be sure to follow along and pick up much more valuable tips in upcoming videos as well as continue watching past ones. Now if only you did the same for Sketchup. I just can't seem to pick up Sketchup as easily as I've had Vectric.

Mark can you tell me what video to watch I want to make a sign with raised letters in the middle followed by V carving around the edge

Hey, first time I see your channel. Very useful. I am new to Vcarve and had been struggling with importing files. So this helped a lot Thx . It would have been cool if you would have finished the process and generate rough and final pass toolpaths... maybe next video...

Great videos! Quick suggestion, possibly? Around the 3:10 mark, you are explaining ramps. You move your mouse around to illustrate/show movement of the bit into the substrate, but the 2D background is looking down from the top. Maybe switch to 3D view and then show your ramp with your mouse movements into the material, with it oriented the way you are discussing? I figured out what you meant, but it might help others understand your mouse movements a little easier. Not a critique, just trying to help.

You mentioned composite nail as holddowns, can you provide info on that?

I want to use a 7 degree dovetail bit to make tapered holes in cylinder (musical flute) The hole will be 3/8" at the surface, the dovetail bit will be smaller (9/32"?) and rotated to create the 3/8". Can you give me a clue how to do? Vcarce Pro. One of the undercut holes is a rounded rectangel (mouth hole)

Bonjour, heureusement que vous êtes là , chaque vidéo me permet de comprendre et d'utiliser v Carve gràce à vous !! Un grand merci

Another well done video

Hey Mark, great tutorial on text on text! Followed you step by step, and successfully carved my first sign of this type. Thanks! I have a question concerning text on text. I would like to also be able to use a vcarve (engrave) toolpath to do a text on text sign instead of the raised text. Here is a short example of what I am referring to: ruclips.net/video/40CxxQagbvE/видео.html They don't show the process, just the results. Do you have a video already addressing this topic? I could not find one. Thanks again! Jeff

another winner. thanks for sharing

Hey Mark, I have watched this video countless times (very good by the way) but I am still having problems adding it. I have Freud 19-102 Dish carving bit. I downloaded the DXF file for that bit. When I import it into Vcarve I get the half shape of the tool design but am unable to get an open vector to continue. Any idea want I am doing wrong or if I am missing a step. Any help would be appreciated. I contacted Vectric and they said this should be added as A Radiused end ? I have no idea what they are talking about. Thanks

I LEARNED A TON!!!! Flipping awesome,,, thank you sir.

Hi Mark, thanks for the info last night on 3D printers on the Clack Shack and Steve V. I used to get your notifications of your live Q&A, but it is not happening now. I am a subscriber, so I don’t know what I need to correct this?

I like the metric text. I think Imperical, but 98% CNC i do in metric. Its not like we enter 2⅜" anyway, we have to convert to 2.375 Metric just saves a step.

GRACIAS -Thankyou

I agree with others, I have been using vectrics for over 5 years and have been picking up new tips.

How do you become a channel member ?

great job as usual Mark keep up the good work

Nicely done mark. Great instructions

This is a great tutorial. Thanks. I've been using Easel to start out. Going to give V-Carving a try now.

I just bought 11 last year...

Another very good video, these will surely help newcomers to the software and even helps those of us using it for a time.

Mark knows a lot!!!

How long does this run on the cnc?

The best introduction to CNC! Great job! Thank you.👍🏼

just watched and super helpful

I have 11+... What is the big benefits of 12+??? Other than the $400 upgrade cost. Would it be more beneficial to purchase aspire instead? My CNC is more of a toy at this point & not into making money from it... YET!!!

Great info Mark

This is excellent material for a refresher course and a must for anyone just starting out! Thanks Mark.
