Just did my first 3D carve and learned a lot. It took way to long and lacked the detail I expected. I found this video and learned why. I was suspecting part of the problem and you confirmed that here. I need to order a few endmills from you to up my game. I knew that time was coming and it is here now. THANK YOU Garrett. You are an excellent teacher!
tommelinn4268, You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful in identifying the issue with your carve. Investing in quality end mills can definitely improve your results. Keep learning and experimenting, and your skills will continue to grow!
A lot of other UA-cams say: Go this this and this..... You explain in detail... Thank you for doing that....
You know, Michael, that's exactly why I explain it. I got tired of the do this, this and this without the explanation behind it. Thanks for noticing.
I've watched several of your videos and I agree this for me was the most informational. I really appreciate the time you gave in this video. I had actually given up the CNC due to frustration; the CNC would get so far into a project and would either stop, dig into the project or run off in the -X axis; after having viewed your video, I'm going to again try and follow your steps completely. I'll send a photo when finished or one that shows the problem I've been experiencing. I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that I get a complete finished product.
Ronald, I get it brother. Some days in CNC, you just want to throw the project across the room and call it quits. I'm happy to hear you are giving it another shot though. I'm looking forward to seeing what the finished result is once you give it a go.
Thank you very much. You are by far the best instructor I have watched. You explain every move you make and what it is going to do. I have had my 3018 desk top router for two years now. I have watched several videos to no avail. For the first time after watching some of your videos I can now design a project and carve it .thanks to your excellent instructor abilities. Again thank you for sharing your talents.
Ed, wow thank you! And you're so welcome for the videos my friend. I'm glad to be a part of your CNC journey and hopefully make the process a little easier! Keep up the good work!
Watching all your videos, new to CNC, this is wonderful, thank you for sharing this with us, from Henrico County Virginia
Norm, thanks for sticking around brother. I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos so far! Enjoy!
Awesome I have watched a number of UA-cam videos and your was the best. Did a frog this morning and it came out perfect. Thanks
CaptData, right on brother! Glad to hear this video helped you out then.
I've watched a bunch of your videos (all to the end). I would definitely say this was my favorite so far! Learning anything about machines, software and woodworking come pretty naturally to me but I'm always interested in learning something new. Appreciate the effort that you've put into these videos!
Hi Stacey. I finally piqued your interest huh? lol
Just watched this video for the first time. I have now subscribed to your channel.
I do have some experience using xcarve, on what turned out to be a Micky mouse cnc. I have now purchased a Blacktoe cnc and a larger work shop. I am still in the process of getting it all up and running, and I am looking forward to following and learning more from you in the weeks, months, and years ahead. 🇬🇧
leeloxleigh1471, right on brother! Glad to hear you liked this one. Happy CNCing.
Garrett. Superb learning pace, with an easy, laid back, teaching style. I'll certainly be watching it a couple more times while taking notes. I've only just started out with CNC, currently using a little 3018, with Easel. But I think you have inspired me to move forward earlier than i expected. So, currently saving up for a larger machine and have turned my attention to vectric. I foresee in the not too distant future having a 1 on 1 with you (although 11pm (UK) is usually way past my bedtime!).
Hi Steve. Thank you for the compliment on the teaching style. Glad to see you're alrady thinking bigger. You can schedule on Tuesdays. I have some morning hours available on that day.
This is the first IDC video I see, and by far the best presentation and excellent “Walk through “ Of the project. LoVE the way you highlighted the mouse when you select a tab. THANKS
Hi One. thank you. You're not the first to tell me the mouse highlight has been helpful. Must be doing something right, huh?
Really great video! I feel ready when my machine arrives after watching a bunch of your videos! Thank you!
Eric, Im excited for you to get your machine man. You're probably counting down the minutes till it gets to your door!
Excellent explanations, very detailed!!. You really take your time showing step by step and slowly. Thank you.
Hi Andre. You're welcome and Thank you. It seems way too many tubers blow past their stuff just to get content out, but do not take in account the viewer. From my own experience, this was a big thing many viewers needed.
Extremely well delivered! Fantastic job, too! Can definitely see the difference with the carving tool. Thank you for your time!
Ron, thanks for the kind words my friend and it's my pleasure! Keep up the great work brother!
Garrett you have to be the best and most patient teacher I have come across on You tube. Keep us newbies inspired. This Cnc business knows no bounds, excited.
Paul, welcome to the wonderful world of CNC brother! I am excited to see what you create.
LOL.. you said Roster and Carving... I am In. Thank You this is like my 3rd carve using a CNC machine3018pro still learning the ropes hopefully i can get it going with this 3D project, once again Thank you.
Hi George. You'll get these carves down pat in no time, my friend!
Great video. I’m using an original next wave automotive shark. 12 exciting and hard years in practically continuous operation. I’ve dabbled in pocket 3d and tiling text. This video made it easy to understand some of the more advanced features available. Thanks.
Stikmon
marcherring386, thank you! I'm glad it was helpful and I'm looking forward to seeing what you create my friend! Happy cncing!
As a 20 year industrial technology instructor I appreciate your detailed and no nonsense tutorials. They are the best I have found! Thank you! I use them to instruct both myself and my students:)
ToddNeal, I am so glad to hear that brother! Thank you for the complements.
WOW i followed you but i used a cantering horse and every think fell in to place and ive learnt so much and still learning I'm addicted to cnc thanks to you and your audio is well clear ,I'm doing all sorts I'm only 10 Hrs into cnc and your videos are brilliant I am looking forward to doing the insert the leaf
Thank you so much
if it wasn't for UK customs (PURE GREED) i would buy my bits from you
Thanks again rob
Rob, you are so welcome my friend! So happy to hear this video helped you.
Hey Garret my name is Pat Terranova and bought the Shapeoko 4 XXL and i also bought your start up bits and VCARVE PRO. Let me just say i really enjoy your videos but I can never finish one because of my dogs lol. i would really use a video chat with you. I honestly dont think I can do this without it. Im an old school woodworker and i am a true beginner. Thank you, Pat
Pat, You are so welcome brother! Keep working hard and learning everything you can. You will get there my friend.
Fantastic video. Step by step really has helped. Thank you
Steve, you're welcome! Glad it helped!
Garrett, Great video appreciate all of your expertise.
Your very welcome Keith. I am happy this video helped you.
Beautiful, very educational. I actually wanted to see you change the second bit.
Davenmaistry, glad to hear you enjoyed this one brother! I have a video that should really help you. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/AFnDZYYHuFA/v-deo.htmlsi=mis0dgtr3iiOfDYq
Awesome informative video Garrett
Craig, Thanks for stopping by the channel and leaving me a compliment!
@@IDCWoodcraft well Garrett, I'm a newbie and I'm just starting out with the Gennitsu 3018 which is just a starter machine. After looking at different reviews on machines....that Longmill looks like a great machine overall. Look forward to seeing more of your videos as I am having a bit of a hard time doing a 3D carve of my dogs picture. Probably not using the right bit as I used a 60° v bit but took out too much material.
Very helpful. Great series.
Tbyersrose, glad you liked this one brother!
Soooo amazing!!!!!
The absolute best A+ 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Drew, thanks! Glad I could help!
I'm learning more then just the program. I am learning how to teach it in the schools. Thanks, buddy.
richardwilliams5520, you are so welcome my friend.
Excellent I always wondered about z vs raster times thanks
BarneyCarParts, glad to hear this cleared some things up for you brother!
Great Video Garrett; I would love to see a video sometime explaining in depth the exact purpose of the "combine with other components" section under "component properties"; to me it seems like I need to really get that section down; I've watched a zillion other videos and still do not have a grasp on that.
Hi Dan. I have such a video on the list. It will be a deep dive into the entire 3d aspect. It'll be a long one but you'll come out knowing everything ther is to know about 3d carving without actually making the 3d.
Good tutorial = good times!
For sure, Joe!!! thank you.
Great video!! Would like to learn more!!
Hey David. Keep watching the videos. Lots like this on this channel and lots more coming!
G’Day from Downunder. I am halfway thru this and new to CNC, not to mention woodworking, so far I find this very useful . One question I have is what wood ( obviously for trial and error and cheap) should I use for 3D /Photo carving?
Start with construction foam
Good video, can’t wait to try it out.
Scott, you definitely should my friend. I think you are going to be blown away.
@@IDCWoodcraft I jotted out a new sign design for our craft show booth while watching your videos. Had to watch your bmp line carving to tie it all in.
@@shughes599 creating on the fly! I love it
Looking forward to trying this with a beaver (Oregon State University mascot)
Graham, I like your thinking. Send me over a picture when you do!
Learned a lot, Thanks
Hi JT. I'm glad to hear this. What was your biggest takeaway
Excellent video - thanks!
Hi Robert. Thank you! :)
Thanks 👍 i appreciate this little video! I’ve not tried it yet because of the time, lol
Hey SMS! Thanks. It actually doesn't take that long once you get the hang of it
This video is gold!
davidhittenberger, you are so welcome brother!
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION
Eric, you bet!
Boy! Am I a novice. U had all the info I cic not find elsewhere!
Hi Unitas. Wow. I am really glad to hear that I had something you've been looking for. I try to find those missing pieces like that so I can 'solve' that problem. Please be open when you are looking for something. I may be able to do a video on it.
Great help, Garrett! I always wonder how the pattern finally work out the wood craft such as the rooster you made, And I have to say your CNC router is the dreaming one to keep the working table clean and tidy. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Hi Aquillia. Now you know how this works. And to think, this was only scratching the surface. But definitely a good start.
lol on keeping the table tidy. It's a never ending battle to do that lol
This was so easy.
YaValio, glad you found this project fun and easy brother!
A very helpful video, Thank you
Thanks David!
Great video Garrett!
Thanks John!
really great tutorials! Thanks.
Ah, there's Adam again. Hello my friend. thank you
Great content. Thanks
Charles, you are so welcome brother!
I've cut my learning curve so much by watching your videos. It always seems like I learn something new and then apply it to projects where I repeat it several times to master them. When I am ready to move to the next level you always have a superbly well-done video on the new topic. I appreciate the time you take to walk the CNC'er through the lesson from beginning to end. This is where most people drop the ball.
I'm glad the videos have been helpful so far my friend! I'm happy to be a part of your CNC journey and hopefully make things a little easier along the way. Keep up the great work!
Garrett Thanks for this video. You are teaching me a lot. I try to catch a video or 2 a week. I just got my cnc 5 mo ago and been working with 2D items, now I feel that maybe I could do a 3D but after hrs of looking at the screen and running 1 sample I was disappointed. I had a friend send me a drawing to see if I could make a craving of it. My question is can I make a craving from a drawing or am I just wasting my time trying?
Hi Stew. Are you talking about a 3D carving? If so, you need to have Aspire in order to design your own 3D carvings. Otherwise, you will have to have someone make it for you.
Can you make 2 finiah toolpaths, 1 with 1/8th in ballnose and the other with the carving bit to save time as opposed to just the carving bit?
Good idea. As long as you set the step over high for the 1/8". But it won't save a lot of time
Awesome video, I plan to tackle my first 3D carve very soon, I’m much more confident after watching this.
One question: you used a downcut bit along with a ramp. Since it is just a roughing pass, would an upcut bit work well? And would that save time since you wouldn’t have to use the ramp?
Thanks again my friend!
AceWorx, great question brother. An upcut bit would work great too. I still recommend a ramp. Ramps will help extend the life of your bits. it wont save you much time either way. Maybe 30 seconds or so!
Awesome videos that even I can understand. How about one explaining the tool database features including adding tools, or did you already do one that I haven't seen it yet?
Peter, thanks I'm glad to help brother! I have a few videos on inputting tool paths, but I think you'll find this one super helpful. It shows how to input the CNC router bit database into Vcarve. Here's the link → ua-cam.com/video/06qlncvzCbY/v-deo.html. And you can download that database by clicking here → bit.ly/3GcdII3.
The only question I have and was not mentioned in the video is since the 1/4” but and the 1/8” ball nose bit are different lengths when do you set your z for the 1/8 ball nose but?
Ceasar, all the settings should be the same but you will need to zero your bit before running the project. Here is a video on how to zero your machine that I think will really help you: ua-cam.com/video/UaDMzl_ZXVg/v-deo.html
How did you know you were at the correct Z when you changed to the tapered ball nose bit?
Sled, I reset the zero when I ran that toolpath brother. That way when your reset the zero after every tool change you have the correct z position with the new tool my friend.
Garrett
Could you or would you run the 1/8” bit first and then finish with the Vee point bit?
Greg, I wouldn't recommend finishing with a V bit, you typically wont get the rounded profiled detail with a V bit like you would with a ball nose or tapered ball nose bit!
I'm struggling to understand controls for the model height. I'm trying to make a bas relief, in which the 3d part is raised above a flat surface. The panel will be 1/4" thick, fitting into a dado in the frame of the cabinet the piece goes into. In my image, the purchased image has a depth of 0.24". The material starts at 0.75 but the areas that aren't part of the image will be less. They don't have to equal the size of the dado (but it's fine if they do: 0.25"). I can route or chamfer the back to make the finished panel fit. But the background does need to be flat.
David, I recommend trying out some smaller different projects before moving onto more complicated ones. Learning the controls and becoming a master Vectric 3D user comes through trial and error!
I have a burning question to ask… when do you know when to change out the bits? Does the software tell you? Apologies if you covered it. Thanks!
Antonio, I have a fully in-depth video just for this! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/AFnDZYYHuFA/v-deo.html
Great video! How do you select just the rooster after you completed a 3d carve to use a different ball nose?
Bill, I'm a little unclear on your question. Are you talking about after the roughing pass or after the finishing pass?
@@IDCWoodcraft Say you already did the finish pass with 1/8 ball nose and then you just want to run a toolpath on just the rooster with a more detailed bit so it doesn’t do the dish part. How do you select the rooster or create a vector boundary around the rooster? Do it manually with the line tool or is there an easier way. Thank you for the reply!!
@@billdanic9955 in this case, the rooster is part of the 3D model so it's not as easy. You would have to draw a vector around the rooster, then tell the 3D tool path to stay within that boundary
@@IDCWoodcraft thank you! Keep up the great videos! They are very informative.
Hi Garrett, Tech question here. I have run the roughing toolpath already which was about 4 hours. If I am doing a 2.5d gnome with Vcarve Pro, the finishing toolpath is very long, around 30 hours using the 1/8" ball nose tool. Can I break up the finishing toolpath into multiple toolpaths like 10 3 hour increments so I do not leave my machine unattended?
Hey Randy. I never thought about that but I be;ieve it is possible with some tricks. I've not tried that.
Great video,
When using the carving bit I was getting a ‘drag line’ which was a devil to sand out. I discovered the ‘stepover retract’. Doesn’t take much, but saves a lot of time.
Any future video plans on stepper motors and spindles?
Hi Dan. Yeah, one little setting can eliminate a ton of time. I didn't discuss that in this video (probably a bad miss for just this case)
Nice ! Did i just spotted a lexus logo in your files haha :)
Hey Bruutt. Lol...soon
Can you keep both gcodes together if you have a bitsetter (shapeoko)
Tactical Agenda, you should be able to but I would recommend reaching out to Shapeoko on integrating that with their post processor.
Thank you.
Ed, you are welcome. It is my pleasure!
What is the viewing distance and point of interest?
As a trinket on a desk, higher detail would be noticed. On a sign above a door, it is less noticeable.
markdaniel8740, Great observation! The viewing distance can definitely influence how much detail is appreciated in a piece. For smaller items like desk trinkets, getting closer allows you to really admire the intricate details, while signs hung higher up may require less fine detail since they’re viewed from a distance. It's all about the context and intended use of the piece!
Can you give me a list of your videos from the Tutorial for Beginners please? I would like to watch them in sequence. Thanks so much!
I sure can brother! Here is a link: bit.ly/3mLHGfI
Do you have to reset the Z when you change bits as one may change the height while changing them?
Hi Matt. Yes, you have to reset the z when you change bits
@@IDCWoodcraft Hi Garrett, thank you for the reply. Which point do you reset it against as the initial one might be lower after some cutting?
@@mattz8234 I set it at the same point as the previous bit... Like at a corner
@@IDCWoodcraft Thank you very much!
Hello Garrett, if i want to import a item thats not inn the vetric libary, can i import a black and white image from the internet ?
Al, you can definitely do that but you will need Vectric Aspire.
I'm not sure if this is the place for a question, but something I cannot figure or may not have been covered. I'm doing one of the horses in the precut "dish." I'm using a 5/8 piece of wood and the horse sits very deep when complete. How do I raise the Z for the highest point of any clip to be level with my Z zeroed surface, or just a couple thousands below? Thanks, sorry if this isn't the place. Vcarve desktop, V 11.
Cjgoulet, take a look at around the 11:00 mark in the video. I talk about how we get the rooster into the project surface to sit flush like you are talking about. If you are still having issues, shoot me an email and we can set up a one-on-one brother!
@@IDCWoodcraft Thank you. I will check that out.
Okay. It looks like you’re saying that Aspire can’t just send the project to the router…you need to save out the code and load it in with UGS…am I correct? Seems like a lot to spend for software that can’t finish the job!
Peter, yes you will need to use UGS to send it to your machine. Unfortunately, most the softwares work this way in conjuncture with a post processor like UGS.
Nice work
DanielMekus, glad to hear you liked this one brother!
I have been watching your tutorials, and I cannot find information on such a simple thing as drawing a line tangent to a circle. Where can I find that info.
Dennis, perhaps you should consider more of a parametric software if you're looking to do designs with relational constraints. You can check out Fusion360, but unfortunately I don't teach on this type of software.
Thank you. Is the ramp plunge moves required for an Up Cut bit?
danlee4314, You're welcome! Yes, ramp plunge moves can be beneficial for an up-cut bit, as they help to reduce the stress on the bit and minimize tear-out on the material.
Thanks for the video. Is this on their free trial version of vcarve? Can I try all of this on their free version first?
Brett, you can try it in the free version but you wont be able to cut your project out.
@@IDCWoodcraft I can't seem to get any clipart in the free version to try what you are showing. And when I import a 3d image and go to the split screen step, it doesn't show on the second screen.
would like some information on some one on one help having trouble with importing files to use in vetric softwear
lyndonnorwood8437, My apologies brother but I have been so busy lately that I haven't had the time to do as many one on ones as I would like. I'm sorry for the inconvenience on this one my friend. I do have a live UA-cam one-on-one with Kate Tucker every Wednesday at 8PM EST. I encourage you to join us live and we would both be happy to help you with your projects then!
I'm also working with Kate to provide one on one training as well, she's awesome. Here's the link to set one up with her here: calendly.com/riseandshinewoodsigns/oneonone60minsession?month=2023-06
Every time you change the bit do you have to Zero the bit back out.
yes
Hello all I need help. I can't understand what is going on. I cut out alot of stuff doing the exact same thing I'm doing now and has always worked perfect. On the computer the preview is flawless. I did all my rough pass with a .25 endmill to save time then changed it to a .125 ball nose for the finish pass. I set the height by putting the bit close to the table then move it 2 inches up. I then save that z height. I did this for both bits. The rough passes all worked perfect but when I did my finish pass it goes super deep. When I return to home it's well above the wood I use universal guide program . Any ideas?
Hi Mark. ISorry for the delayed responcse I suggest you inquire about this in CNC related facebook groups. You'll have much better answers coming to you.
@@IDCWoodcraft thanks I just redid it and it works weird hey
Sir where you did z zero second tool and third tool uncut surface area whom you Engraving by roughing tool, or you did z zero second tool and third tool without cut area surface . please guide
Hey Sonu, I'm not quite sure what you're meaning by this. Shoot me and email if you still need hep with this!
@@IDCWoodcraft sir I asking where you did z zero second tool and third tool, on flat area of wood board,or on cock design rough area z zero
@@sonuverma2796 UA-cam comments is not the best place for me to be helping. I think it is best for you to schedule a one on one. We can help you understand much better in a dialogue. You can schedule from the homepage of my website. The link to the site is in every video.
@@IDCWoodcraft sir please provide me link where you describe how z zero second tool and third tool after roughing tool job work
He said somewhere else he zeroes the second time on a corner. The board is square on all sides so that center point he first zeroed on is at exact same height as any other uncut point on the board.
Hi Gareth,
Love your presentations. I’m very new this cnc. Am I correct in saying that this cannot be done on Aspire 8.5 ?
Regards,
Paul
Paul, that is a tricky one to answer with such an older version of the software brother! Your best bet is to reach out to Vectric about the specific differences between the two versions.
@@IDCWoodcraft thanks Garrett, I think I’lll just get the newer version and follow your inspirational presentations.
Paul
super
mak.ressam915, glad you liked this one brother!
How did you find your Z zero for the finishing toolpath🤔
Charles, great question brother! You just redo it the same way you did for the first toolpath! Here's a video on setting your zeros, I think you'll find it super helpful: ua-cam.com/video/UaDMzl_ZXVg/v-deo.html.
Got a “no suitable vectors selected” popup box when I clicked calculate???
davidhittenberger, sorry to hear you are having troubles with this one my friend. Try recreating the steps right before generating the toolpaths and make sure you have everything set correctly!
Hey Garrett, I recently got UGS but I am struggling to set it up as I cant see any .exe files. It would be great if you could create a video on how to do this :) Thanks.
Hi Impulex. I want to do this video. I have to throw myself back and remember how I went about that process.
Blackland has seen COBoL programs in excess of 2.8 M lines at one time back in the 90's ... .Older Hexadecimal Assembler language is even more intense as it is as close to 16 bit binary as one could get back then.... :) Part of the application they wrote to manage the deregulation of long distance totaled 30 million lines, and that wasn't all of it. Compiles down of course, like GCode, but still...
That is a LOt of code!!!!
Why did you use a USB drive?
Rodney, I needed to put the files onto the USB drive so I could walk down to my shop and load them onto the computer next to the CNC!
Thank You for your help. I like your videos. That's what I thought. I have a Windows desktop and a Apple laptop. Can I do the same thing on a LongMill?
@@rodneycathyelmore134 the long mill control software is Windows based. Apple will not work unless you have a Windows emulator
wheres the project that I got credit for?
which one was that...remind me and I'll get you in there on the next vid
Great video thanks!
Hi Bradley. Thank you!
Garrett, just one question...how long do we have to wait for the video where you walk on water? ; )😂😂
Dudley, LOL you are going to be waiting a very long time my friend.
@@IDCWoodcraft These videos are really superb, way beyond just interesting. This particular one has me wondering about the process of taking a 2D(picture) and arriving at a 2.5D piece of data.
Thanks for the great video and the one on one the other evening! I am a CNC newbie... I highly recommend the one on one sessions. It is great to be able to ask specific questions as you work. I learned a lot
Looking forward to my next session.
Thanks Pat for sharing your thoughts. Aso looking forward to next session
Your lessons are so good Garrett. I love that you show the differences with the tools and go through everything so thoroughly, so that it "sticks". I find it most useful to split my screen and work on VCarve alongside your lessons. I then pause the video and fiddle with things for a while on my own and that really helps enforce the knowledge. As an added bonus, you also show the final cutouts and real products, something so many UA-cam teachers don't do! THANK YOU.
MrChuckles, my pleasure! Glad you liked it! I couldn't agree more, I think following along and physically doing the steps is an awesome way to learn something new! Keep up the good work brother!
Good Day everyone. Having a struggle moment... When I did the split screen, my imported picture did not go over to the material. The "wood" like panel on the split screen is blank, while my axis still shows the picture. (not sure if it matters that I am using the trial version)
Hey Darius. It should bring the model to the other screen. You may want to contact vectric about that.
Great video... several doubts cleared. Thanks lot
Mohamed, you are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Excellent video, thank you so much for this great tutorial sir 👍🏼👍🏼
Dj, you are so welcome brother!
congratulations, very good work,, how do you do if you want to make the relief bigger? I use the aspire 9.5 and my notches are very low you can hardly see.
Antonio, do you mean the entire project or just parts of the project?
Amazingly well done. thanks for teaching us and for the the free stuff. blessings from Dominican Republic.
me and my father are going to start a new business making wooden personalized doors.
Carlos, you are so welcome my friend. I'm so happy to hear this video helped you.
Found this video very helpful thanks. I use aspire 10 and am trying to get the hang of doing 3d models. I’m having a little trouble carving a deer. After I have the toolpaths all set and ready to go, the tool path reviews are fine on the computer but when it’s doing it’s rough cut, I’m cutting all the way through the material, working with 3/4 in materials. What am I doing wrong, and how do I adjust the depth of cut?
Hey Josh, this is a little too trick to answer over a comment. Will you send me an email instead?
@@IDCWoodcraft I figured out what my issue was the depth of the router bit was set too low in the CNC router if that makes sense.
I did not see you zero the Z after a Bit change.
Hey David, I just wanted a little bit of brevity sorry for the confusion brother!

When you're running the final pass and you're taking off .04 Why can't you run it closer to 100 feed rates instead of 45 feed rates when using a TBN bit with a 1/64 radius.
That's a great question! That was the very very early days of my creating so I wasn't fully aware of the run rates that we can do. I know better now
I know you have noticed me in the comments on a few videos and I am impressed by how you are responding to your questions and it shows me that I can contact you for support thank you
Seems you are definitely checking this channel out. I didn;t realize how far behind I got on the comments. been responding to people for about an hour now.
Hello sir,
I am from india
I just brought my new CNC router (a week before) its 4ft X 8ft bed size. I have acrylic signage company thats why i borough this machine but i got to know this machine can do more things so i am learning about carving and wood working this is awesome field to work i am going through all of your videos i learn something new everytime. I don't have enough tools here i am learning about it too i would like to see a video on guidance of tools and offest and how can i reduce machining time with proper finishing
I love your work its so detailed even if you say "i am not going much deep in this topic"
But still whatever you say it make things clear.
Thank you for this knowledge ❤

Kaustubh, hello my friend, thanks for tunning in! I love that you are learning a little about all the things! There are so many avenues that you can take when working with a CNC. I will keep your video ideas in mind. I hope you have great success on your new adventure!
Question, I just received an "ONEFINITY WOODWORKER 31"X31 " CNC and I bought VETRRIC V11 I'm wondering, do I need "Grbl Controller? because Vectric v11 I think has the ability to make its own "G-CODE" or is this buggy?, what do you suggest?
Vectric has a post-processor for your specific machine. And your machine has its own controller. So the answer is no, you do not need a grbl controller
Looking forward to getting into this.
CryptoCajun, I'm excited for you to get started too brother!
Hey Garrett! Good to see another video. On that carve with a tapered ball nose I wouldn't even run a roughing tool path. Think about how small of an amount of material your cutting per pass. I sure wish you were here when I first started this stuff! I'm sure your channel will take off soon. Thanks for all your effort!
Hey Chevy. Yeah, I thought about that after making the video. I may make a note in the description about that.
