Your tip about measuring the tool is valuable info, I struggled with a job for several,hours until I found out that the tool was under size. Good video, thanks
I can’t say enough about how much I got out of this video. Very well explained. Like others I’ve watched it over and over and get something new out of it every time. As a woodworker most of my life I really appreciate your machinist perspective on tolerances and accuracy.
I viewed this about a year ago and was impressed then. Just watched it again after using my CNC for a year now and am even more impressed at the detail you show. You must have been and excellent machinist. The detail is what makes this truly a work of art. Thanks for having filmed this.
I recently (december 2019) got my Vcarve Pro and CNC. I have to say that watching this video and listening to your instructions has taught me more about using Vcarve Pro than any other video I have watched. Node editing and cutting were alien to me. I tried to design things where this knowledge would have been great. Thank you. Vectric should pay you for this.
I have been wishing someone would this video. Thank you. I am right in the middle of installing my vertical table. BTW: with a level flat is level but up & down is plumb. Sorry to be a pain
Well done indeed as a newbie this was so intuitive i just love the way you take the time to explain things within the program and how to use it ie what button does what great stuff thank you
What a clever idea to use the wooden clamp as a vertical holder! I've been trying to sort out how to do that on my IQ Pro and have been overthinking it, I'm sure... Thanks for the great demo!
Lawrence Becker I’m glad you like my simple yet effective method. I also use the same clamps to hold small objects and clamp them directly to the table. The best part is if I make a boo boo I cut into a inexpensive wood clamp and don’t wreck a bit!!
Very well done - both the project and the video! I just found you and subbed - I like your style. I'm going to share this video in a couple of groups I moderate, so be ready for questions - lol. Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome! Unfortunately some of us with small desktop CNCs which move the bed to achieve Y axis motion probably can't do this (or, at least not with a workpiece of any real size) but it still suggests some interesting possibilities, milling directly onto the end of a workpiece.
HI. For some reason, when making the circles, I cannot get the vectors to join. They are side by side measuring 1 inch a peice. I increased my vector gap to .1 just like you have on your screen. Any advice?
Did you use the cnc to level the top and bottom. And wow this was great.Video. I just figured out to do the toolpaths in vcarve pro to do finger joints vertically on the front of my Shapeoko xxl. My first full square box with all ends finger jointed came out with nice and tight joints. Jeff Peters And thanks to Mark for sharing the link to your video. Too bad I can't post a picture.

This is gold handed down from those who truly want others to succeed. Thank you for your time and effort showing this demonstration!

CliffArt thank you for watching! I’m glad you are coming away with a few bits of knowledge.
Excellent tutorial thank you so much for showing how it’s done

Thanks for the Lesson. I made my first joint today with the Circles and it turned out perfectly.
Excellent John I’m glad you found this helpful
thanks for a great informative tutorial video

This was fantastic!
Amazing work truly outstanding...thanx for your share may God bless you...coming all the way from south Africa
Thank you kind sir! Its nice to hear from people so far away.
Awesome tutorial, thanks for sharing!
Great video Ed, thanks. Rob in NB, CA

I do thank you kind sir👍

Wow great job, very interesting watch!
Thanks for the video, really nice project.
great demonstration, very helpful, thank you
JasonCNC Thank you, I’m glad you like it and hope you got a idea or 2 from this.

Great video, Ed keepum coming
Ken Wise thank you, I will have a few more videos soon.
Thanks a lot for your Video - it helpt me for my projects
Question
Since you mill both ends
How do you determine the length and or height to place the 2nd end your doin
Would you be willing to share aomw files? I want to get this a try.
Hi mate great job. Can i ask where did you get all the metal hardware and hinges. Please can you send a link. Cheers
I got the 200mm hinges from Lee valley tools.

Well done indeed, great job, but how did you set your spindle to cut outside of the working area on Y axis (- Y ),
When you used the 12" wood clamp ?
On the laguna iq it will cut about 3 or 4” over the end of the bed. The work envelope takes that into account on my machine.
@@canadianwoodsmith-edjohnso4608 Thank you.

Yes, I squared both top and bottom. It's nice to hear people are getting successful results!
Can this be done with vcarve 9.5?
I would think so, it’s a very simple pattern.
I wish my shark ii was able to carve off the end like this
Keith Copeland is it possible to modify your machine bed? Also you can modify the box size so the ends can stand upright on top of your bed.
