How can I get this file

Alt+J joints all selected lines.

Use the tool to adjust slots directly. Much easier..you dont have to brake and move anything

Awesome,going to etsy now

The problem is not a fault in calipers, but incorrect use of them. First, never put force on them as that will damage them over time. To calculate kerf offset measure thickness in multiple locations and average them, now cut known size slot and measure it cut with no offset. Subtract the set size from the actual size and divide by 2. You now have your kerf offset to get the size it is supposed to be by design, from there use that average thickness + tolerance to size slots correctly.

Awesome. Big thank you!

how do I use this for earring inlays?

This video is amazing. Thank you so much. It has made my life so much easier in Lightburn. You’re a genius.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! Finally someone who explains it nice and simple and on silhouette studio! This is exactly what I needed and now I’m confident in attempting kerf. 👏🏼🥳

Thanks for this. I am looking how to make curved slots to a defined radius. Let's say half inch wide slot 3 inches long that has a 3 inch curved radius. The end of the slot would also have a radius as you would using a half inch end mill. This will be cnc plasma cut.

This is a great tool, and I'll be purchasing the file. The one thing that I didn't see addressed is cutting it based on grain orientation. While I realize there's always been a massive debate in the woodworking community about expansion and grain orientation, when you're designing a tool in solid wood that allows for thousandths of an inch, it matters. This should be cut with the pattern running so the kerf slots cut across the grain. That way, if there's any seasonal expansion or contraction at all, it doesn't impact your measurement. Similarly, creating joints on solid wood, the same coinsurance should be taken. The last thing you want is to send a product to a customer and have it not go together properly because you cut the perfect joint in the wrong direction.

HELP......I'm ready to cut the tools. They look awfully small. Is the download the correct size to cut?

hi there, on 6:50 when you want to connect those 2 parts, as soon as you align them to the right, select the outter shape FIRST and then the inner shape LAST, and click on SUBTRACT tool on the left or (ALT -), and voyla, gr8 video for the kerf, it helped me thanks a lot =D

A sheet of acrylic will always vary from one end to the other, so cutting a sheet with your guide will give a false sense of security. Some parts will fit and some won't. Best to cut the first section of the sheet, check for size and so on with adjustments, or agree on a one size fits all. I really like your gauge technique, even as far as going with 36 chances, really cool.

sometimes when I purchase files on etsy, my wood is thicker than what they designed it for. Do I just add the kerf to make the file big enough to fit my wood?

This was so helpful. Quick and to the point.

I understand what you are saying here but how do apply to a file?

What if you need your slot to to be smaller?

My node doesn’t snap back and attach to the node i need it to connect too. Any other way to attach the two back together?

Hi, could u suggest the file for me to create like this kerf tool for a fiber laser machine?

hmm. still a bit confusing so if I understand this right. I would need a kerf tool for every piece of material I use? How do we change the the kerf on our machine if we do? So very new to the whole gf

Dude there is no h at the end of height please pronounce it correctly

It is true what you explain but that is more complicated as it needs 2be Just use different layers and Change kerf value 5sec and your done

I have the same problem, that some measures are respected and others are smaller and others are large, the strange thing is that the laser is new. will they be parameters ??

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Most tutorials I've found only deal with how to do this in Illustrator or Inkscape, which I am a novice in. I'm most comfortable in Silhouette Studio, so this helps me SO much!

A lot of great tips. Great Job!!!

Great job! Thanks for offing this!

I have to say you are talking bullshit about the vernier if it has a thumb wheel. This item works like the friction ratchet on a micrometer. So if you use it with the thumbwheel you WILL get the same number each time just like a micrometer. The three verniers I have all have the thumbwheel and all cost less than £12.00 English..

Is it normal to have a bigger kerf in one axes? My x kerf is twice as large or more than my y kerf. Trying to find the best way to compensate for it.

for inlays?

Very well done , thank you

Nice video, thanks for your time!

Do you have in (mm ) not inches

Great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing.

I'm new to Glowforge and the kerf tool seems to be what I need! One question, where in my design software would I enter the number from your kerf tool? Thank you!

The video is very good and informative. Thanks. Just a thought. When you added the extra notch in the drawing you used the break apart tool to edit nodes on the rectangle. An easier way is just convert to path. That way you don’t need to join the 2 corners in the notch when you are done.

Thanks for making this video. It makes understanding Kerf so much easier.

I have installed the updated version of the Lightburn on my macbook bro and windows, but the Art library is empty. Is there a way to download template for Art gallery please?

Thank You

I'm a novice in AI but learning about the anchor point helped immensely! Keep up these videos.

These guides are priceless!!

Awesome helpful video! I am buying the file :) So to clarify when I find the slot that matches the fit that I am trying to achieve do I alter the slot in the design file to match that number?

Thank you for this guide!! For some reason I couldn't wrap my head around the Kerf concept.. this is perfect and your video makes so much sense!! Thank you!
