I'm 43 minutes into this video and here's my comment so far: I'm a retired submarine captain, a nuclear engineer, a writer and speaker; I stood in the top 10% of my class at the Naval Academy ( a long time ago) - so I'm not a complete idiot. I have a mathematical and engineering mind. But when it comes to operating computers I'm basically Freddie Flintstone. That's why I put off for so many years "diving" into the world of CNC. Now I am the owner of a Next Wave CNC machine. And after a lot of frustration with the User's Manuals and other videos this video is the first one that has put me at ease - at least so far. Now I'll continue watching and I'll comment again after I am able to compete a basic carving with my basic SD100 CNC machine.

Your diverse background and expertise are impressive, and it's great to see that you're bridging the gap between your technical knowledge and computer operation in the realm of CNC. Keep watching, learning, and I hope by the end of the video, you'll be confidently crafting with your SD100! Happy cncing brother!

I’m in the exact same boat! Twenty seven years in Intelligence for the USAF, Ivy League education in medicine and aeronautical engineering but when it comes to computers I can email, pay my bills and social media are the extent of my abilities. I still use a drafting machine on a drafting table for my designs. I FINALLY took the leap into both a CNC and laser cutter/engraver and I was utterly out of league. I’ve watched this video 3 times so far and Garret explains the basics far better than Vetric does. Now that my CNC has arrived and is operating after several problems with the controller so I’m looking forward to my first actual attempt!! I at least feel comfortable prior to going to my in person training sessions at Axiom near Nashville in late March. Fingers crossed!!

@BradMcDonaldSalesDoc 4 ай бұрын

I should note that since watching this video, I have successfully created about ten CNC carvings. I've made some mistakes too, but all in all I'm off to a great start, which might not have been so great without this guidance. thanks for your videos and teaching style - it's helpful to this Freddie Flintstone trying to be a George Jetson. Soon I'll be buying some of your CNC router bits.@@IDCWoodcraft

Honestly, This one is different! I learned a lot. This video is much better than surfing and looking around that are either skipping steps or assume you can jump right in. Thanks Garrett for taking the time to help educate us newbies to the world of CNC. Looking forward to the other videos and getting my bits from IDC Woodcraft.

I only have the free version because you said a person should start practicing with the software before they purchase a machine. I wasn't sure what machine to buy as I started watching your videos and you explained the difference between the three sizes of long mill and when you stood on top of that 48" mill I new that was the machine. So I will continue going though more info of yours and hoping to purchase the 48'' long mill in a few months. Thank you brother you are making a difference.

Many thanks Garret, we have started a small community interest company in the UK and we do many charitable and community led projects, but we have to pay for those. We got started with a OMTech laser creating artist equipment and some other fun projects in various materials. Now we are moving on to creating higher end products using recovered, recycled and sustainable materials, especially wood. I'd like to say thank you for saving us many many hours after already spending many hours trying to do things free (we are avid supporters of open source) however, sometimes you got to spend the money... and this software will pay for itself, quickly! Many thanks for being so clear and informative. 100/100 for clarity and getting us started.

Hands Down this is the BEST beginner tutorial I have come across so far. It is full of valuable information, and I very much appreciated all the extra information you injected into the tutorial. It is very often important to not only know what a software feature does but why and when it should be used as well. I would have only changed one thing in the video. Since this is a beginner video, it would have been nice to see you take the saved project to the CNC machine and demonstrate the actual procedure of executing the gcode to cut out the project. I was expecting that and was left wanting. Overall, this was the best video I have come across! Great job. I will be watching more (all) of your other videos.

Great Video Garret! Watching this just answered part of my question from an earlier video. I have Cut2D Desktop and I think I'll be upgrading to the V-Carve Desktop, it fits my pocketbook easier than the Pro version right now. Thanks! Dave

@IDCWoodcraft 9 ай бұрын

Dave, I completely agree brother. The desktop version will work great with the size of your 4040 as well!

Thank you! Finally, a beginners approach from someone who knows the ropes! I can dust off the Rockwell Shark. I have had over 12 years and get to work. It's better late than not at all. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
