This was so great. Thank you. As a mater of fact I'm carving a rotary project right now, it will have, like most of my rotary projects have 4 parts that will be a rotary cut and two will be a two sided job. It's the first time I mix a two sided job with a rotary one, I did a one sided with a rotary but not a two sided. This video gave me tons of new ideas, like not using a roughing pass and jump on the finish pass from the start, I usually always do that for small one sided project, but I never do this on a rotary one, I have to try this. Thank you again
I cut the second part of my rotary sculpture with this technique of toolpaths, I loved it. The finish is pristine I'm so glad having see this video thank you again
Vectric should definitely make a book for their software. I get it you can print most of it from the help menu but a nice book would definitely be helpful! Just saying
First and foremost... AWESOME job!!! Next - maybe a stupid question, but... Why can't you do a true "4 axis"? So that you can move the gantry in the Y axis as well as rotating the model. This would eliminate a lot of the under cuts (to an extent anyway) and provide for much more detail including your dragon head at the 90 degree angle you originally talked about without having to make it a separate piece. I've seen very few videos that do this, but they are out there. I am relatively new to the whole rotating axis and am trying to wrap my head around it (pun intended). Is this a limitation of Aspire? I think I've seen most people using Fusion 360 when doing the full 4 axis. Thank you in advance for your reply / comment. P.S. - Just a thought about finding centers and drilling for your connector... I wonder if you had added a square to each end (just inside from the tabs) and used it to drill pilot holes before cutting and sanding off the tabs.
Hello Jeffery, and thanks for the question. We create the rotary movement by taking the X or Y and using it to turn the material in the rotary attachment. So it is still 3 axis... just one is the rotation. Hope that helps.
The project itself was very interesting, however the presentation was a bit like a Physics lecture presented by Roger Rabbit. It would be great to get a tutorial that someone could actually follow.
Hello, it was a large project, so much to talk about and share. Scott packed as much as he could into the short session we gave him. You never know, if we ask him nicely he might produce a long form version for his channel... :)

Thanks Alain... we will be sure Scott sees this. :)

Thanks for sharing this video! We had a great time at the UGM!!
We had a blast, thank you for coming along and sharing your awesome Rotary know-how!
That is so freaking cool!! 👏👏👏😍
Thanks for that!
What about drilling the holes with the ends (tabs) still attached? You should still have a center located from mounting in the rotary.
We will be sure Scott sees this!
Very interesting and very, very very, very fast. I was in a tailspin at the 00:03 (mm:ss) mark.
Thanks for that... Scott packed a lot into the time we gave him.
I can't wait to get my rotary from Onefinity in January!!
Rotary will change your life... LOL, or in the least add a bit of excitement to it. Have fun!!!

We do have customers that do that exact thing... but unfortunately we don't have a physical book at this time.
how does one stop the tapered bit from diving into the project at the beginning? I get we can ramp it, but...do you do something like 100inches?
Does the program have any dedicated options for chamfer milling?
Yes we have a Chamfer Toolpath option - www.vectric.com/support/tutorials/aspire/?search=Chamfer&video=how-to-use-the-chamfer-toolpath

Try drilling the hole in the ends before you cut, while it's square. Just a thought
Thanks!
is there any video on how to convert a .jpg or .bmp file to a vector file?
This video might be helpful... www.vectric.com/support/tutorials/vcarve-desktop/?search=trace&video=how-to-trace-a-bitmap
@@vectric Thank you very much
