In this video, we’ll continue with the topic of using Levels and Level Clipping in the Component Tree, in the Modeling tab in Vectric VCarve Desktop, VCarve Pro, and Aspire.
I’ll create a new project using the template I created from the file we created in the first video of this series (link below.) We’ll create text and create a new level. We’ll add a component to that new level, then clip that component to the text. Then we’ll recalculate and preview the toolpaths needed to carve the project.
As usual, if you have any comments or questions about anything I covered in this video, please join me for the Live Q&A, or put ‘em in the comment section below.
On Sunday, April 4th, I’ll be hosting a LIVE Q&A session, where you can ask your questions pertaining to anything I covered in this video. That Q&A starts at 3 pm Eastern time, Noon Pacific time. Hope to see you there!

Your tutorials are better than Vectric's. UA-cam why did you take so long to recommend Mark Lindsay CNC in my feed?
This is fantastic, Mark! You're the best, sir. I tip my virtual hat.
Thank you Mark, looking forward to this afternoon!
thanks for this awesome video. Your style of teaching is great. I love being able to clearly watch your screen as you walk us through the process of working in Vectric software. It's like doing it yourself with the guidance of a seasoned pro talking you through the steps. I've watched several of your tutorials on here and I think I will go back through them and watch again and take better notes this time. Thank You again For putting these tutorials together. AWESOME!!!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you're finding them useful.
I may need to watch this 4 or 5 times!
A great video. This is a project I am trying with our pet. Getting the name was the part I couldn't understand. Now I got it. Thanks Mark.
Another very informative well explained vid, mahalo Mark
Hello Mark
In another video of yours you were checking on a bit in your tool database and I noticed all the different bits you list under End Mills ( .011 inch -.023inch-.055inch and more) I’m confused as to what type of a bit they are and how would you use that type of a bit.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me your videos have been very helpful !!!!
Those are bits I bought for one project or another. I've broken about half of them, and have never replaced them or removed them from the tool database. They were used for drilling holes, mainly. The .023 inch bit is used to make the fret slots in a guitar fretboard.
Hi Mark, Thank you for the tutorial on this 3D carve. This will be my first to try. I have a question on the .0625 ball nose bit. What is a good finishing step over for that bit? My Amana guide says to go with 30IPM and it was preset at 4% stepover. This would take me 66 hours to finish carve. Thank you for your time. Jim
As a general rule, a good finishing stepover is anywhere below 10%. Personally, depending on the project's size, I go for either 7 or 8%. Also, if you do a Z-Level roughing toolpath with a machining allowance of .030, you can ramp that feed rate way up on the finishing toolpath. By doing a roughing toolpath with a standard end mill first, you're not cutting much material at all with the finishing bit. I usually start with a 50 ipm feed rate and adjust it on the fly. I'm finding that 60 ipm is close to the sweet spot for my .0625 inch tapered ballnose.
When you did the roughing and finishing tool path for the name, you did not select the horse heads but they carved. How did this work?
Good question! I'll get into it further in the Live Q&A, but in a nutshell, the entire list in the Component Tree becomes the model. Remember that the software models from the bottom up. In the end, it takes all of those levels, adds, subtracts, or merges them together. That's what makes the model. You don't have to select which components you're going to carve, because the software knows to carve the entire thing, based on what is checked or unchecked in the Component Tree.
I'm looking to do something similar, but I would like to know if you can do curved text in this set up?
You certainly can - as long as it's still a text object. If you've converted the text to curves, the text editing functions are no longer available to you.
How much time did it take to cut out the model?
I didn't actually cut this particular model (client changed their mind - go figure...,) so I have no answer for you. Carving times involve a lot of variables, so it's impossible for me to give you an estimate.
