I did a carve on a round recently. I found the centre then rapid positioned the spindle with a v bit installed to bed centre and lined up my piece centre to the bit and set zero. Worked great.
Nice video. Although i dont cut much on round stock, this will be helpful down the road. I do have a suggestion if you don't know already... but when you input a number for anything, if you want to divide that length in half, just input it and use the "/" symbol and hit "=" at the end of the equation. Example: 23.75 / 2 = 11.875 Hope this helps you or someone else. Keep up yhe great work.
Well see, I thought you were cool until you made a Niners project! ;-) (Seahawks fan here). Seriously though, great video. I'm curious though, how did you come up with the toolpath? I understand you used Advanced v-carve, but how did CC know what to cut out and what to leave uncut? Or, where to pocket and where not to? Did you have to group the vectors in such a way to tell CC what was a pocket and what wasn't? Also, I'd love to see a video on how you edited your vectors after importing the image - I'm still trying to figure that process out. Keep up the great content!
Haha dang! I’m actually an AZ native so I root for the Cardinals but since I’m in the Bay Area now I’ll root for the home team. Regarding your question. I simply selected all the vectors except the most outer one. With everything else selected the program knows to “pocket” the design. Had I kept the outmost vector selected and done the advanced carve toolpath, it would have given me raised text. Thanks for the feedback for video ideas.
@@aetimberpine man I'd love to see a quick vid on what you mean by how you choose your Toolpaths with this design. Because are you saying you actually used a 'pocket' toolpath or are you saying the Adv v-carve pocketed after you selected all the vectors except the outer one?
@@aetimberpine I think everyone in the country except those who live in KC agree with you about the Bills. And, even though my Seahawks are doing slightly better than your Cards, I don't think we'll get very far from here on out.
Ouchhh ... Have you seen any blue flashes recently? Your router has-been chaffing your power cord, it looks frayed and close to short circuit will likely fry your system !

Hey Anthony thank you for this tip! I appreciate it!
Great video. Appreciate the effort you took to make it. This will be quite beneficial to me in the future...thank you!

I didn’t know that!!!!
Thank you for this tip! I’ll be using this!
Do you like Amana or white side 60 degree bit better?

I’m actually rooting for the Bills to knock off the Chiefs since my teams aren’t doing much this year.

Thankfully no :D
I had it wrapped because it chewed into it.
