I was brand new to using a router and Aspire 1 year ago. This was my first test project and it turned out alright but my wood sucked and chipped. I also didn't understand all the different bits, feeds and speeds. However it did inspire me to stick with it and to get a job at sign company to keep learning. I now run their router full time. Came across this video again and just wanted to say thank you. Even though its just a simple tutorial cutting a card into wood it technically changed my life and career path.

very straightforward, no bs, useful comments. I like it man, and I am a guy that has watched quadrillion hours of tutorials on YT as an adhd maker with a workshop

Cool example with the right amount of detail. Thanks!

Wow, great job!!! Also, I watch a lot of CNC and Design Videos and your speaking voice is great to listen to, keep up the good work!!!

Beautiful project, great 👍

Wow I would love to see this in real life. I love it.

Those are so hard to riffle shuffle! Looks good!

Super....Simple explanation. Thank you.

Extremely helpful and a great video.

That’s a really helpful video, I was currently using Inkscape to trace bit maps. Then load into vetric. This looks so much easier

This is SO cool, now I gotta make one for my kid!!!

Thanks Man great video

Thanks for the information 👍

great vid.... I was never really clear on how to use the noise or round corners sliders or what they did. Thanks

Nicly done. I will give this a try

I use V-carve pro….coincidentally a few weeks ago I had a similar job come in where the customer wanted a Tarot card reproduced in end grain sycamore ( which I glued up from staves ). I ran the multicolour Tarot through Photoshop to create a monochrome copy and saved as a bitmap. Then the usual…..in Vcarve pro - load bitmap adjust sliders etc to create a perfect vector image…..outcome superb….no probs. I did use a 3mm down cut end-mill first for clearance then a 15deg v-bit. Both run at 22000 rpm.

Nice tut.

Great tutorial and a nice result. How long did it take to carve the whole image? (only the second, successful attempt)

New subscriber here! REALLY enjoy your videos. Should have subscribed a long time ago, but I'm newly retired and now have a bit more time to focus on stuff I enjoy. I'm upgrading from a Next Wave HD510 to a Laguna Swift 4' X 4'. Thank goodness! The little HD510 just won't keep up with what I need it to do. Anyway, enjoy these vids and keep up the great work. I'll try to reply more now.

Thanks for the tutorial! When you were cutting there were alot of frays and the final piece was clean. Any tips or advice for me to have similar results ?

Inspiring! I plan to engrave clock dials in 1/32” sheet brass. Planned to try Amana 30 deg V bit, max depth 0.015. They sell tip widths of 0.005, 0.01 and 0.02. For a flat depth, in which parts vary between less than 1/32” to 1/16” wide, how would you select bits?

Thanks for the info, very helpful. When I did this on a small sized material as you did the simulated tool path was clear with the details shown. But when I changed just the material size to 36" x36" (leaving the card the same size) the simulated too path wasn't clear at all? Can you not get a high resolution with a large material size?

Thanks for the cool tutorial. I need tools like the one you used to engrave, where can i get them?

Great video with nice details. Could you please share your feeds and speeds on for your 30deg V bit? I tried some carvings, but getting a lot of tear out.

Awesome work! ?, how did you determine the depth of the vcarve?

Cheaper alternative to Vectric Aspire and V-Carve is PixelCNC, I use it for V-carving, relief carvings, inlays, halftones, cut-outs, etc...

That's very deep for a 30° bit. If you want something that deep try the 6.2° Amana bit

I noticed on the VCarve tool path you set a depth stop of 1/8, had you not done that would it have possibly cut through? Also mentioned end grain, you actually had a 3 inch thick board that you cut a workpiece from?

What's the software you use? You didn't mention that. Is it easy to download and work my 3018 pro cnc with this software?.... GREAT TUTORIAL btw...thank you for your time

This tutorial really helped me step up my CNC game! 🙌 #gamechanger

Beauty! Have you ever had an issue where the bit doesn't raise up completely out of the wood before moving on to its next location? Mine is doing that all of a sudden out of nowhere, basically carving a path in between its locations.

Carving images on a CNC machine is like playing arts and crafts for adults, but with way cooler tools! 😄

Great video, for this 30 degree what is your settings ? I want to use for v carving details but will take hours thanks

Could you maybe make a tutorial for this same job using Artcam? that'd be awesome! Thank you so much

I like to use my sandblaster with crushed walnut shells to clean up fine detail.

very kool

Where's you get a 4x3 piece of end grain?

The only issue for a project like this in end grain is that the resulting card is very fragile and will snap easily. I would suggest laminating it onto some face grain.

How much time did it take?

Seems the end grain hold the wood fibers in position, while the face puts fibers perpendicular. Then the only thing to do is build up your own end grain blanks if you want anything of size.

Can u save the vector image u created and use it for another CNC project other then engraving

This is indeed a wonderful video....keep em coming!!! I am going to try a King of Hearts. I cannot find one that I can buy without a subscription! Where did you get yours??? David Rodwell North Carolina

Can you make any vendor recommendations where I can send vector art to have something like this made?

Wow 🎉

How did you go from the drawing to the CNC and begin carving? No one seems to demonstrate this aspect. It leaves those who know satisfied and those like me who don't know very frustrated.

How come this software is a Sonny Chang demo version.?

Is there a way to get Fusion 360 to clear pockets with a v bit? It seems it will allow me to trace with a v bit, but there is nothing I have found to clear. This Aspire program doesn't look to be free :/

How did you find a piece of end grain that wide?

Put the wood into epoxy and pressurize it in a paint pot. Once cured the wood will behave like a hard plastic and you should get even better detail.

What bit did you use? do you have a link? Thanks

Where do you get the designs from?

What was your step over ? And how deep did you go? Thanks

How can i get portable CNC

what bit u were using?

i am a totally noob but i wonder how you make the counter side design for a inlay..

whats the tool u used for engraving this

Stepover for this bit bcoz tip radius is too small engraving detail images bit can be more usefull but i dont know stepover for this bit

♥

Wow, great job!!! Also, I watch a lot of CNC and Design videos and your design is a cool example with the right amount of detail. Thanks and don´t forget follow us too..☺🧡

Face or endgrain?

Someone please tell me how to use toolspath 🤝

Bro I only have ball nose and flat bits what should i do

Do you know of any species of wood similar in color to blue?

Damn son, 1800 Euros for Vectric Aspire. That's no small beans...

"Preview Simulation Quality" in the toolpath menu

merhaba kullandıgınız uc hakkında bılgı vereblır mısınız tesekkur ederım

I want to learn this, because I have no I dea but I love i

0:08 BEAUTIFUL... Do you sell any of this... like the King of Hearts? I am an Acting Teacher and have 4 different Acting ages for 4 different classes... and they're the Ace of Diamonds... Ace of Clubs... Ace of Spades & Ace of Hearts... Let me know if you sell anything like that.

Nice explanation but I wouldn't have cut that deep, a shallower cut would have allowed better detail Not being judgemental here! I've made and learnt from far too many mistakes to be that. I often carve images out at say 1mm with 45 degree V bit and get good resolution then fill with resin and sand it flat before a final lacquer coat.

Could you make me a program in Vecrtic Aspire, I'd send you a .dxf, just one for example to study for me? this is a simple detail.

зачем делать такую глубину, сделайте 0,2-0,4 мм и морилкой выделите перепад высот

so the program is a one time payment of $2,000 and you own it for life is that true? anyone know any similar vector apps easy to use that are cheaper? ik this one looks great just a little pricey at the time. but also get that i should make money back easy using this.

That software is just like Inkscape and Inkscape is free.

I want free vectric I can’t afford it
