Garret, I just recently discovered your channel and am grateful that I have!! I really appreciate your method & style of instruction. Complicated concepts & multi-step things are hard to teach and I commend you on how you are doing. Trying to teach the basics of programs like this with the multitude of functions is difficult without running down what I call "function tangents" or "button tangents" all the time. These are when the instructor drifts off the direction of the lesson to touch on a particular item that is related to but the specifically the operation or worse yet, "Oh yeah, check out this cool thing!" not directly related. I commend you in your handling the complexities & variable ways of doing things and still keeping to teaching the least complicated method of the task. I am getting started on my CNC journey and will be getting my machine set up and functioning in the weeks ahead. Your videos, wisdom and inspiration have been a huge help.

Another great video, as I am now watching your whole playlist 😁 I have saved a lot of your videos to back over when I have more time. I have just bought this program from Etsy and intend to run it soon, but I am going to use 19mm Marine ply as I have a ton of it laying around, hey if it works great, if not then I will buy some pine. I will be using metric tools so hope it still works the same or I will edit the tooling in the program to suit.

Great video and tips! I’m a cnc newbie and with a Yora 3018Pro. I designed my clamps in Fusion360 and carved them out with an 1/8” compression bit and the spiral ramp really makes a huge difference with a small router with the small diameter bit. Thanks

Thanks Garrett. Stumbled across your site while researching mods to my spoil board. Used your method to scratch a grid into my spoil board and then went down the rabbit hole. LOL. Just finished following this tutorial. Wanted to say that your teaching method is very easy to understand; even for a retired Marine Corps pilot. I have to admit I've been running Vectric VCarve for about 4 years now and have just gotten comfortable with what I know and how to do it. Huge "A-Ha" moments during your videos where you show certain functions that I didn't even know existed. Thanks again!

Good job on covering this, it made it easy for me to follow along. I made one tiny change in mine; I added an additional pocket at the tip (I think a tenth of an inch) to see if it would increase the lateral holding power.

Really like the Spiral technique. Much easier on my router. I need to get some downcut bits . The up-cut I have seemed to work out though I just wasn’t sure wether to use the climb or conventional setting. I just went a little slower. Thanks for the video. Something else I thought of also is that before a person pulls the parts you could make a rubber mold and then pour in what ever mold material you liked to make a stronger Clamp if you desired to.

Oh Sim, you have given me an idea!!! I might start making clamps. And I can make the mold to make them. I am getting requests for clamps.

Great tutorial. I was able to set up the project in VCarve Desktop with no issues. It took me a hot minute to realize that Desktop doesn't have the spiral ramping option or the 3-D tabs...but in any event once I set up the project on the machine, zeroed it out and set the Z (to the bed & not the top of the piece..SMH) it cut like buttah. I only made 4 sets just to test it out as it was my first cut other than leveling the spoil board and cutting in my grids. Thanks again. I have much to learn but am psyched at my progress and all thanks to you and your tutorials Garrett.

I have been a CNC and Vectric user for a while and have no need for more clamps but after watching many of your videos I realize that even though “clamps” is the main topic inside there will be information that I can use on other projects. And was I correct, as in other videos of yours there were so many other helpful hints. Thank you One day I’ll get the courage to set up a one on one Just one more thought-if you were to use a 3/16EM for the perimeter cutout you could have gotten that one more row of clamps. I use the 3/16EM for cutouts a lot on .75 material. Be Safe

great video as usual. its worth pointing out that the clamp needs to be cut with the grain of the wood running in the long direction on the piece. otherwise they will snap in two. something to consider when laying out your file based on your available material.
