This is the most intuitive and easy software to use for semi Cad and full Cam and HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS of explanations about every item, improving every year, I like it a lot, makes my hobby really pleasant. I built a 50 x 70 cms. machine with a router from Amazon and some Arduino GRBL and PC PSU and everything comes out perfect as designed with 1.5 dollars bits that I replace every month as cheap as they are.
Hello and thank you for the video. I am new to CNC and inlays. I would love to try a deep inlay of .2500 and another one at .1250. I have an Amanda 46280 6.2 degree that I would like to try it with. Can you guide me on the settings please? Could I use a flat of .197 using the same start numbers or would that mess things up? .2500 = (.039/.079 .118/.079 .197/.079 What would you do for .1250 ? .1250 = Please in lighting me…
I use the Yonico 1/8 inch bit listed in the description, and use either the Yonico Tapered Ballnose, or the SpeTool Tapered ballnose. Thanks for watching!
This is awesome, but I'm not smart so still a little confused. For the plug - you are created 3 separate vcarve toolpaths to get to your final depth, correct? Why does the first of the three start at 1mm instead of starting at 0? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! The 3 separate vcarve toolpaths are to allow for us to avoid diving all the way down 9MM, the depth of the plug. If we only used one depth, it would be 7mm start, 2mm flat. Vectric assumes that the 7m start depth is already cleared material, so would dive all the way down 9mm. Disaster waiting to happen. We trick Vectric by creating toolpaths that can be easily handled by our tool/machine. As for starting the first pass at 1mm deep, that is to give us just enough of an offset from the plug to the pocket so our inlay will fit snuggly, without any gap.
Lovely video! Thank you!! Could you show how you upgraded to VFD spindle? I mean the mount and where you connected? Im looking for a CNC to start my guitar buildings
The VFD is connected to it's own controller. I fabricated a mount out of 1/4" aluminum to match the specifications for the bolt pattern on my VFD spindle. I also had to measure the distance between t-nut slots on my Z-axis, so I could mount the plate. I upgraded more than a year ago, so I may not have the files I used any more. I will take a look. Thanks for watching!
Another great video. I am new to Vectric , the question I have is could you accomplish the same thing by setting the depth of cut in the tool specifications? I generally use 1 to 1.5 the bit diameter and the software figures out how many passes it will take. Also to avoid chatter I use a step over of 40% for roughing and 5% for carving. I have a 4040 pro and Vectric Desktop.
If you are referring to cutting the plug side, no you cannot set the tool depth, as it assumes in your carve parameters that the start depth already has material removed. Because of this, the tool will plunge to the start depth, and then cut to the flat depth. So for example, if your start depth is 7 and flat depth is 2, your tool will plunge 7, and then cut 2. If the material has not been removed, it will essentially try to carve then entire 9 (7+2). Our hobby CNCs do not have the rigidity to handle that kind of a cut. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! What parameters are you looking for? Speeds and feeds, or Start Depth/Flat depth? If Start Depth/Flat Depth, it will be identical to the Tapered Ball Nose bit, regardless of whether you are cutting the pocket side or the plug side. Please let me know if you need additional information.
Could you tell me the vbit specs please?

This was a EXCELLENT explanation of the process, I was always afraid of inlays due to the fact I always misunderstood them! THANK YOU!!!
I am happy it was helpful for you. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking the time to do this…
Quit welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great stuff - Subbed.
Thank you for your support!

Thanks for watching! Good luck with your DIY machine. I tried to build one, but I just couldn't build one strong enough for the type of stuff I do.
Good video, thank You💪🏻🇭🇷❤️🫡
Thank you for watching!
Excellent explanation! Thank you for this video. It really helps.
Thank you for watching! And thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it!

What would you do for .1250 ?

Thanks for sharing, I am not sure what bits to use for the steps. I am very new to this. Can you please help me out?

which parameter used in end Mill 1/8?

@@tk.designs speed and feed and start depth/Flat depth
@@josiascnc4539 Start and Flat depth same as v-bit. Feeds 600mm/min, plunge rate 300mm/min. Feed and speed is very dependent on what machine you have.
@@tk.designs thank you
