Deep inlay with Vectric VCarve and SOROTEC BL CNC -- Full process

Рет қаралды 8,390

2 жыл бұрын

This time I've put the emphasis on the CAD/CAM process (but rest assured there is plenty of CNC action). I usually do end-grain boards, so this is my first experiment with inlaying in long-grain. I've included the full Vectric VCarve process of design, CAD and CAM.
CAD/CAM software is VECTRIC VCARVE Desktop
My CNC is a SOROTEC Basic Line 1005
I generally don't put music in my videos (we all have different tastes) but as there is a lof of CAD/CAM time with no satisfying milling noise, I've tried to find some music that would match the theme of a 14th century center-European village (see introduction of the video) .

For a minute I thought you had been in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. We also have such a tower from 1529 and which just like the tower of Pisa is crooked. Please take a look at our beautiful tower :-) Great video/tutorial and thank you for all your videos -tutorials and help for us cnc'ers. Un grand merci beaucoup et salut du Holande.

@Stephan Forseilles why don't you use the round bit for the handles, too? i would find that more convenient.

@stephanforseilles 2 жыл бұрын

I could indeed. But it's not very good at removing a lot of material (you can't spin those at 20krpm :) ) and it quickly creates burns.

Hi Stephan, Can you put links to the bits you use? Its hard to read what kind the tapered ball nose is by the pic alone. Great work

Thanks. Almost all of my bits I buy here: www.cncfraises.fr Except for the 10 degree: www.aliexpress.com/item/33034695014.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1ce44c4dAwOlXh

Great job! Why in the toolpath parameters you select V bit 15 deg but actually you are using engraving tapered ball nose 10 deg bit? Does it work correctly?

@stephanforseilles Жыл бұрын

Thanks. Yes it works but I also sometimes use the configuration of an engraving bit with a flat nose.

I watched this video back when you first put it out. I just watched it again. It is a pretty cool project. Just wondering if there were any issues that arose using the long grain board and the end grain inlay. I have watched your videos over and over. I have an end grain cutting board i want to try and put an inlay in, just haven't tried it yet. Thank you for your awesome videos

I went to that person's home last eek and she's been using the board since then, washing it with warm water and soap. I still can't feel the inly with my fingers (it could have popped-out) so I guess the test is positive. :)

Salut Stephane, J ai vu que tu utilises parfois du Padouk dans tes boards, en extérieur ce bois devient rapidement gris à cause des UV. En intérieur il y a bcp moins d UV et le huilage peut réduire ce phénomène. Est ce que la couleur du Padouk de tes réalisations a évolué avec le temps ?

@stephanforseilles 2 жыл бұрын

Selon ce que j'ai pu expérimenter, si is est bien huilé, il ne change pas vraiment de couleur. Mais l'huile le 'fonce' déjà pas mal.

Hi How long does it take to do one pass on the plug? My project says that one pass takes roughly 5hours.Am I doing something wrong? Thank you.

@stephanforseilles Ай бұрын

Hello. It will typically take 30min to an hour depending on the project. Typical feed/speed for my CNC is 5mm@800mm/sec. Which CNC and feed/speed are you using? If you're talking about the V-bit path, you must also check the stepover. If it's too small, you get a better finish (but you don't car because no-one will even see the bottom) but it takes ages!

I really enjoy watching your videos Stephan but I must admit I wince every time I see how deep your toolpath passes are! I stick to 1 or 2mm per pass on my Workbee, am I not being brave enough?

@stephanforseilles 2 жыл бұрын

With my previous CNC (Euromakers Aureus 3X), which was very similar to an X-Carve, I had to do 1-2mm passes (or 3-4mm but at 150-200mm/min). Now I upgraded to the SOROTEC which is way sturdier and has linear rail guides, so I can be much more agressive, in hard wood I can do 5mm at 1000mm/min. :)

It looks like you're using a taper ball nose endmill, but in the program you have it set as a flat bottom engraver. Is there a reason for that?

I don't have any scientific explanation for that, but in my tests, it gives a better fitting plug that way...

My i ask why your going over the plug model twice and one with the pocket and one with the Vcarve toolpath?

@stephanforseilles 2 жыл бұрын

When doing the plug, the Start Depth sets the depth of insertion. But even if the tool has a max cut depth of, say, 3mm, if the start depth is, for example, 9mm, Vcarve will directly plunge to 9mm. So I have to make 2 additional passes with Start Depth 3 and 6mm to avoid cutting too deep at once. It's not easy to explain but you can see it in detail in my tutorial: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iL9gra-nmN3HqZc.html .
