Carveco Maker Tutorial - Using a Roundover Tool
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- In this video we take a look at machining radiused corners using a roundover tool. We go into detail about every aspect of how to machine a roundover from start to finish, taking you through how to set up your tool and save it (with a real-life example!), how to create your roundover toolpath and then finishing with what it would look like using our Onefinity! Make sure to like the video if you found it useful and leave a comment of what you want to see in the next!

One thing we forgot to mention in this video is if you have a point roundover tool, then the Inner Diameter needs to be changed to 0, or whatever the flat is on the tip.
Thanks for the clarification. I bought a bit like this (point roundover tool) for rounding over edges. I haven't used it yet, but I was thinking doing the profile toolpath along the vector. I thought it would work correctly, but now I'm not so sure. Will this tool be the exception to where I can use the along vector toolpath?
@@gizmobowen It should work fine on an along Profile toolpath since there is no offset involved.
Great video!! I’m new at Carveco and been studying very hard on all your videos. Please keep making them
Learnt so many stuff on carveco maker from you......I really appreciate your contribution to my expertise on many CAM software
Great to see you back to RUclips!!

Thanks Leighton, Much appricated as always.
Great informative video! Great to see how you corrected it all. Need to try this! 👍👍
Perfect thanks for this toturial 😀
Surely the stepdown when creating the tool should be the same as the radius so you get a perfect round-over, from experience its better to be very slightly less especially if the material is not perfectly flat on the top or your spindle is not perfectly trammed, say 6.2mm.
Do you have a tutorial that explains the "Independent Finish Depth", the "Allowance:" and the "Final Tool Allowance" while creating a Area Clearance toolpath?
Hi Lonnie. Take a look at this video (towards the end) - learn.carveco.com/toolpaths-and-machining/area-clearance/ The "Independent Depth Finish" will allow you to enter a specific depth for that particular tool, which can be smaller or larger than the finish depth specified.
I am a machinist and work with metal and plastics. With standard round over tools I have always programmed for the center diameter of the tool and the Z depth. Couldn't you do the same thing with Carveco by just using a straight end mill tool description?
Hi Billy, you could do if it was a point tip roundover and go along when doing a Profile toolpath. If it has a flat though, you'd have to offset every time you use it.
Hi, please can I ask...if a just wanted to cut a pocket across one line and limited to the diameter of the endmill (2mm dia) can I just draw a single line that the cnc will cut along or do I need to close the vector I.e. draw a narrow rectangle (length whatever vs 2mm width) so the machine Cuts inside the rectangle? I need to draw and cut out a spiral shape (2mm cut leaving a 2mm wall inbetween)
Hi Luke. Yes, just draw a single line and using the Profile toolpath, set it to machine "Along" the line.
Thank you so much for your response...is there an easy way to draw a spiral...I.e. is there a coil or spiral button please?
@@lukebrown6913 Not a problem. There isn't a one click tool unfortunately. There are a couple of ways to do it, probably best to contact support@carveco.com. But, have a look at this old ArtCAM video (sorry about the quality, it's not ours!) where the spiral toolpath is used as a guide - ruclips.net/video/SVkYWwB8xkM/видео.html
@@Carveco Hi, many thanks....I'll take a look.
@@Carveco just took a look, good idea, but don't speak Italian!!! I just need to learn how to split a circle and move the halves to create my own
Hi,
You are really a brilliant "teacher".
However, I have a question:
Is it really so that you cannot move/copy a toolpath in Carveco Maker?
Regards
Lars
Hi Lars. Thank you very much. If you update to 1.30 you will be able to copy a toolpath.
@@Carveco Thanks for your answer.
I already have version 1.3.
Copying a toolpath, the new toolpath will just be sitting on top of the first one, from where it cannot be moved.
My scenario is that I have 20 different toolpaths and then want to rearange them in order to optimise the use of the sheet.
I conclude that I have to upgrade to the Plus version.
@@larsrolver5096 Not a problem. You should be able to rearrange them into what order that you like by left clicking and holding down on a toolpath and then dragging to where you want it to be.
Hi again,
Tried moving the toolpath without succes. Strange.
What can I possibly do wrong here?
@@larsrolver5096 Hi Lars, I would email our support team at support@carveco.com and send them your .art file so they can take a look for you.
