Oh my gosh, I must admit that I keep returning to your videos for comic relief first and then for instruction. Does that make me a loser? 😂 I think I love the high school humor the most, and I find myself giggling 🤭 just as much as you’re trying to hold back. 🤪 Great job, man. And I’m sorry for Darlene… she gets the project you don’t like??? She’s a lucky person.
Hey, i also had the issue with bad matchimg inlay colour...then i cut the inlay out, and inserted another wood. Now i'm happy. Lot of extra work(sanding,sanding and more sanding) but now i love it🎉
Well, this is a video that has been needing to be done for-EVER!!!! So thanks very much for the detailed information. Fantastic job on the work AND the presentation.👏👏👏👏
Man watching this video reminds me in not the only one lost in the beginning of CNCing. I got done last night assembling the table, friday I’ll be assembling the onefinity. Then tackle my first cut.
I want to buy a OneFinity just because of how this guy does this video. lol. Natural in front of the camera..love the video.. and the transparency of how you dont like it.
Morgan, thanks so much for making this video! Incredibly helpful and clear instructions which most inlay videos lack. They all seem super confusing. Btw, been there done that with the two wood grains and then the oil.
The Owners manual with the router tells you a rough rpm per number. you can alway by a speed sensor and test the number to find the rpms you want with the dial numbers. Onefinity for the win!
Great video, thanks! I went down the rabbit hole looking at these videos and one had mentioned that in cutting the positive part, when you set the beginning depth to 0.28, the software assumes that everything above that is air and will try to plunge to that depth on the first pass. Is vectric smart enough to handle that or do you need to create multiple cuts, say at 0.1, then 0.2 then 0.28 manually?
Well, except for the non contrasting wood, it looks great. If you could get it lined up perfectly, route the cow out and make a positive piece out of something more contrasting. But probably the safest way would be to delete the divide lines of the cow to make him solid and maybe a tad bigger, then route out the board and cut a new positive piece. Of course then you could make a tool path for just the divide lines and cut it out of what ever wood you used for the cow the first time.
i would think if you ran an outside tool path like a border to outline you inlay with maybe a maple or ash wood that would give you a good contrast to see ur inlay . just a thought
So now I'm requesting another video...I just received the JTech 24w Quad Pro laser setup, and I have some questions about installation, what additional things I'd need such as air assist, fume removal, and a suitable material for a spoil board that the laser won't burn through or catch on fire. It would be great if you'd make a video about that.
Nice job on the video. Did you use a "clearance tool" for the negative side, or hog all that out with the tapered bit? You did not show programing a clearance tool.
Cool... but my OneFinity CNC came with Carveco Maker, not Vectric - would it be possible to make projects using the software that comes with the CNC so we can follow along?
As mentioned, the lower tier versions of VCarve would be just fine. If you want something with the same bells and whistles but mainly for one project though, Carveco Maker might be a better option. Just subscribe to the license for a month and then cancel.

I'm so glad!
Love seeing this. Have looked at doing inlays but have hesitated because of everything you just talked about. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Everyone started at the same place! You got this!

I can still cut beef on it and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters 👍🏼
Thanks for watching

3:35 I giggled exactly like you did, at the exact same moment. That has to mean something. *giggle (so mature, I know)
:P
You’re really fun to watch. Thank you for doing this for us. The OneFinity community.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video, more like this one!
More to come!
Noted!
Good info! Thanks for breaking it down. Bummer that there was no contrast once you added the oil.
Glad it was helpful!
But now I know! And a good lesson learned is more valuable than a perfect cutting board
Thanks for sharing Morgan. Despite what you think, it came out awesome. Very unique! Great job! 🤙🏽
Thank you! Cheers!

YES!
Great video! I think you're lucky to have made such a beautiful learning opportunity. My learning opportunities normally look like future firewood.
So true!
always love hte dry humour
he's great!
great job brother keep up the good work !! Just started messing around with my new Jtech 24 watt laser, whata blast
Rock on!
Good video, thank you! I believe if doing an end grain cutting board, your inlay should be end grain as well.
Great tip!
Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks so much!
You're very welcome!
At least the video turned out great with plenty of contrast! 😂 nice beefy Z tee!
Yeah thanks

It did plunge to .28" which is a little deeper than I'd like but I was conservative with the plunge rate and the feed rate so it turned out alright
You’re better off doing in 2 tool paths. I deep plunge might flex the machine and cause gaps in the final inlay
Great tip!

First inlay video I've watched. I always wondered how the fit was so precise. Tapered bit, Duh! Now I'm more knowledgeable, but I feel more stupider.
Glad it helped!

Check out JTechs youtube.
I notice you have a vertical setup behind you. Have you found any problems at all with that?
None! Works great!

We're doing some videos in carveco and some in vectric since we sell both.
Does it matter that the inlay is not end grain?
It’s preferred that the inlay and board have the same grain orientation (endgrain or long grain)
Yes, it does.
It’s preferred that the inlay and board have the same grain orientation (endgrain or long grain)
Trying to wrap my head around the inlay portion and the start depth being set below the surface of the material.
Why?
@morganhop
How thick is the walnut blank that you cut the “positive” piece from?
@morganhop?
How does this process compare /differ to the inlay toolpaths in that same software? Haven’t used either but want to soon. Thanks.
Carveco has some great videos!
Noticing the modeling software you use is Aspire, does this program really cost about $2000.00 or is there a cheaper route .
It is 2K. You can get vcarve pro or desktop for 600-300 from our site and it will do everything in the video!
As mentioned, the lower tier versions of VCarve would be just fine. If you want something with the same bells and whistles but mainly for one project though, Carveco Maker might be a better option.

The “positive” walnut piece “should” be also end grain. Amazing job though
It’s preferred that the inlay and board have the same grain orientation (endgrain or long grain)
Vcarve for the female. And a pocket tool path for the male?
Yep - engraving toolpath for the negative side, pocket toolpath for the positive side
Yes
Now do a brass inlay!
I don’t respond to anything less than a double dog dare
:P
