Great tutorial, love the calm and detailed explanation.
Hi Leighton - as always your tutorials are the best on youtube! Really appreciate all you've taught us all.
Thank you for taking the time to watch them Mark!
Very nice sir
If I needed to do something on my CNC, I always look for your videos on u-tube
I would like to send pictures of what I've learnt from watching u-tube especially from Leighton, where could I post them?
Great video Leighton. I’ve watched it a few times and I think that I have it all now. Thank you. One minor mistake that I didn’t see any other comments on is that around 25:30 you show the TAN 30 formula and say that you “worked it out for a 30 degree v-bit” and you mean 60 degree bit. It wasn’t obvious to me the first time I watched it but I worked out that we should take whatever degree bit we have and divide in half because that is the angle from a 0 degree (vertical) that we are carving on each side. Hopefully this may help someone else understand it a little quicker than me!
Very detailed explanation. I hope to try this soon. Would be much easier if 5he inlay tool had V-Bit carve options set into it to make it simpler to achieve
Thank you Leighton for this video I been wanting to do this
Good video, Leighton! I've done a few using Carveco and they worked out very nicely.
I am curious why you deleted the previous toolpaths, though. Seems like you would keep these in the event you make another board and have slightly different materials or decide to change bits, then you could just modify the existing toolpaths rather than starting from scratch each time.
Thanks David! Yes, you are correct, you would keep the toolpaths just in case you needed them. What you don't see is that the project was already done and then saved out at each stage, then machined. Leighton then recorded a new tutorial within Carveco afterwards hence the toolpaths not being saved, he already had them saved in another project.
@@Carveco And I also understand that for a tutorial video it cleans things up a bit to not have a dozen toolpaths showing. I personally keep all my toolpaths for the reasons I stated but just wanted to make certain I wasn't missing something. Thank you.
Is it necessary to do the area clearance first on the male? Seems like it's just adding an extra tool change by going from 1/8" clearance to the v bit and than back again to the 1/8" for cutout.
Hi there, sure, you can V-Bit first and then just use the 1/8" tool for the Area Clear and Cutout.
At 22:30 you began machining but you didn't save the toolpaths. Is this where I would save toolpaths to separate files? Then load the v-bit carving file and cut that. Then change to the end mill and load the 2nd toolpath, reset the Z to the surface of the wood and start that cut?
Question: on 46:06, the start depth make my first pass of cut very deep (since my start depth >> stepdown).
according to G-code the first pass Z starts from -(start_depth+step_down)
how to fix that?
That's the only way to do it, since you are telling the software that you have already machined that part (which you have not), the only way around it is to do an area clear or a profile pass down to that depth beforehand.
Why did you choose the Sainsmart tool for profiling? Wouldn't any old 1/8" endmill do?
You can use whatever tooling that you like Chuck. The 1/8" tool was a tool from Sainsmart that we had, but any end mill will do providing it can get in there.
I'm working through this, slowly. When I tried to save the toolpath I got an error that said I have two tools for this but my post processor won't do that. ??
Sounds like you are trying to save the tool toolpaths together using a post that doesn't support tool changing. When you open the Save Toolpath dialog, select the "Save toolpaths to Separate Files" and it should work. If you are still having troubles, I would drop support@carveco.com an email.
My brain hurts
Aspirin?
Leighton, .Speed things up a little. People are gonna find it hard to follow along for an hr. College classes are an hr. You could split this up into 4 videos. Maybe not try and
cover every possible "what if" I have a hard time concentrating for an hr seriously. This could have been 15 minutes. I appreciate you trust me. An hr is way to
long. Nobody wants to hear all the possible scenarios. They want it short and to the point. Especially with just videos. This is not at all. Maybe I'm just a dummy..probably..but
I have a feeling I'm not the only person who wants things a little faster..thanks again for the videos..I'm not saying I could do better. This is constructive criticism only. Regards, Rich
On the other hand, there are learners like myself who do well with getting as much information as this so that the concepts are cemented into my brain. Yes, less might be better, but going back and reviewing is helpful.
What would be useful is for me to create a cheat sheet that does what I think you're looking for.
