Get Better V-Carves with Flat Depth (Better CNC Router Projects)

Рет қаралды 5,687

Ай бұрын

In this video, we cover doing a carving using the flat depth v carve drawing tool in the Vectric design software for you CNC projects. Flat depth levels off your v grooves so your CNC router project look much better. Varying v carving depths can make a CNC project look bad and larger v grooves can cut through the project. Flat depth allows you to control this.

Garrett: I am new to CNC and this video (actually, all your videos) was very helpful. I'm still at the stage where I don't know what I don't know. I ordered that sanding brush set a few days ago and I plan on ordering the "truly complete" set in the next day or two.

Love your videos - I was wondering if you could explain how to extend a carve if your bed isnt long enough? For instance, if you have a 16" bed but need to do a 25" carve, whats the best way to carve the first part and then slide it up and carve the second half? Assuming your bed is straight, is there a way to use registration marks so that the two pieces are correctly alligned? Thanks in advance if you have the time.

@IDCWoodcraft 12 күн бұрын

atienne_navarre, That's a great question! To carve a longer piece than your bed allows, you can carve the first section, then move the workpiece up and reposition it based on registration marks to align it properly for the second carve. Using registration marks on both the workpiece and the wasteboard will help maintain alignment throughout the process. I do not have a video on this quite just yet but it is on my video list for the future! Thanks for reaching out brother.

Can you use a flat tip V bit?

@IDCWoodcraft 20 күн бұрын

dennisbracci9212, Yes, you can use a flat tip V bit for certain projects. It's great for carving intricate designs and adding details to your woodwork. Just make sure to adjust your feeds and speeds accordingly for optimal results.

@eitantal726 Ай бұрын

I want to recommend against a sanding brush, and in favor of a nylon wire brush. The wire brush doesn't degrade details, and doesn't degrade by itself. Give it a try!

@IDCWoodcraft Ай бұрын

eitantal726, Thanks for your input! Nylon wire brushes are a great option for certain projects, depending on the wood type and the level of detail needed. It's always good to have different tools in your arsenal for different tasks.

Why didn't you show everyone that you can use a 1/8 or a 1/4 flat end mill to get rid of those v bit carving lines. I really love your videos but this time you missed a critical step. You placed the 1/8 end mill then removed it. I don't know if you addressed this issue on other videos

@IDCWoodcraft Ай бұрын

alexbordo4449, Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your suggestion about using a flat end mill to smooth out v-bit carving lines. I'll make sure to demonstrate this technique in future videos.

Why didn’t you show using a clearance tool to achieve the flat depth

@IDCWoodcraft Ай бұрын

kerrymorley6086, Using a clearance tool to achieve a flat depth is one approach, but in the video, I wanted to focus on a different technique to show viewers another method of achieving the desired result. Feel free to explore using a clearance tool in your own projects to see what works best for you!
