I know I say this almost every video but I sure wish you were around when I was learning! Thanks for you time and effort!
Hi Checvy. That gave me a smile. You are welcome, my friend. It may be frustrating sometimes but I love teaching this to you and others.
Got to say. I listen to it 50 times. Kept messing up. But I finally got it. One thing I got was you have to close out one rectangle before going into another. Time and practice . Great job
sfg18b, you know what they say my friend practice makes perfect! Nice job sticking with it brother, I'm glad you got it!
Thanks Garrett. Stumbled across your site while researching mods to my spoil board. Used your method to scratch a grid into my spoil board and then went down the rabbit hole. LOL. Just finished following this tutorial. Wanted to say that your teaching method is very easy to understand; even for a retired Marine Corps pilot. I have to admit I've been running Vectric VCarve for about 4 years now and have just gotten comfortable with what I know and how to do it. Huge "A-Ha" moments during your videos where you show certain functions that I didn't even know existed. Thanks again!
Sakesan13, I am so glad to hear my teaching style and videos have helped you brother. Welcome to the wonderful world of CNC and I am excited to see what you create.
Watched your video and followed along as I created the file in V Carve Pro. I've watched tons of videos over several years of learning how to use V Carve and my CNC. I have got to say for a Knuckle Dragger like me, You vids are the best i've come across. Keep up the good work and Thank You for your Service. I'm a Veteran and appreciate your contribution. Sappers Lead The Way
Todd, thank you for reaching out brother! I am so happy to hear that my videos have helped you so much over the years. Thank you for your service and support my friend.
Nice to see a machinist doing this you have your clamps parallel to table when clamping (Old machinist pet peeve)👍
Ya' know Jeff, you are so right. That flat contact is so important.
Clamps !!!! Oh Boy !!! Did my first test cut today. Now gonna try this.....
Dan, let me know how they turn out brother!
Hi Garrett, this is at least the second time I have watched this video due to the fact that there are many good things in it. By following it and doing the drawing it has been very helpful for me to learn a bunch about vCarve Pro.
Right on my friend! I'm glad this one has been helpful for you brother! Happy cutting!
Thanks Garrett. As always, I learn new things each time I watch. Appreciate the training
stevecarey332, I'm so glad to hear that you find the videos helpful! Your support means a lot!
I had CAD Drafting in college, I love these videos as they just further my drafting knowledge so I can use that toward running CNC projects.
Hi Charles. Thank you. We just never stop learning! What kind of projects do you make?
@@IDCWoodcraft Right now all my drafting is Architectural drawings. I'm planning on getting a CNC machine within the next few months., that's why I'm interested in your page, I have a 3 car garage/workshop I will be setting it up in, It's the large one 48'" x 96" for cabinets as I want to do custom cabinets, but also small projects. Maybe incorporate custom designs into the cabinets. Just want to say, you remind me of one of my CAD professors, I love watching you since I found your channel, you are a great instructor. You take the time to explain the whole process just as my professor did. You make what you teach very clear and easy to understand, that's a great value in an instructor. By the way, I live in Chino Valley Arizona, just 20 minutes north of Prescott. I know you said you visited Arizona. I was born and raised here, except for my 15 years in the Marine Corps, been here all my life, it's such a beautiful state. Thank you so much for what you do and your channel.
@@charlestreadway6491 Arizona! I love that state. I'll have to tell the story about Arizona and one of the videos I do. I think you'll appreciate it.
It's exciting that you have a big space that you'll be able to make big space projects in the near future. And I can't wait to hear you say I'm getting my CNC router and I'm going to start making cabinets!
Good job on covering this, it made it easy for me to follow along. I made one tiny change in mine; I added an additional pocket at the tip (I think a tenth of an inch) to see if it would increase the lateral holding power.
Dan, thanks brother! That's a great idea to add an additional pocket, nice work!
No CNC machine yet, but thinking hard about it. Your videos are very helpful, both to help me understand how the machine and programs work as well as info and advice on what machine to go with - thanks, will continue to view your videos.
Rick, glad you like them! I'm happy to be a part of your cnc journey, I know how complicated it can all seem even prior to having your machine in hand! But it can be done I promise and I'll be here for you every step of the way when you're ready to take the leap my friend!
I watched the videos when I purchased my machine however, the videos didn't go to the detail which you showed I picked up a quite a few techniques to speed up my work, Thanks.
Stephen, that is great to hear brother! Congrats on your new machine.
I don't have much hair left and trying to figure this out, well, I would have probably pulled out the rest. But with this walk through I can do it. Not only a big thumbs up on video but thumbs up to you. Thank you, stay healthy and please keep making videos. Your student, Russ
Hi Russ! No more hair loss, my friend. We'll get you there with your CNC!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank You Garrett...
You are welcome Michael.
This is a really great video! I have watched hours of your videos trying to educate myself on how to design in Vcarve and make "stuff"! I just finished making my spoil board and surfacing it. Which was an education all in itself! And so I went back to this video on how to make clamps. Garrett, I am glad you took the time and all your takes to make this video. There is an encyclopedia of information in this video that goes way beyond making clamps! Thank you again for doing all you do to teach people about CNC design and builds!!!! It has sure made my adventure into CNC so much more enjoyable and reduced the learning curve and frustration levels considerably!!!
Jeff, those initial projects are the hardest but it sounds like you have the basics down for sure. The clamps are just the start, I'm excited to see what you make next!
I am still waiting on my CNC router. When do , man you will be my teacher. Thank your for your time and effort.
Hi Maunza! I'm excited for you and wishing that router would arrive now! when is it supposed to get there?
Getting my head into the design side of things and just a simple thing to some is a massive step to others we can all just by designs and load and go the CAD side is another world one i am just stepping into and videos like this help me and many others to have our light bulb moments thank you
Mick, I promise the designing will get easier with time and practice. We all have started out as newbies my friend! You're so welcome, I live for giving people those light bulb moments and making things a little less frustrating while on the learning curve! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Garret. I learned a lot, discovered the array function, which I 'need'.
Greetings from Belgium .
Thats great to hear Igorfun. Glad the video helped you out.
Great tutorial. I was able to set up the project in VCarve Desktop with no issues. It took me a hot minute to realize that Desktop doesn't have the spiral ramping option or the 3-D tabs...but in any event once I set up the project on the machine, zeroed it out and set the Z (to the bed & not the top of the piece..SMH) it cut like buttah. I only made 4 sets just to test it out as it was my first cut other than leveling the spoil board and cutting in my grids. Thanks again. I have much to learn but am psyched at my progress and all thanks to you and your tutorials Garrett.
Yay Martha. I forgot to mention in the email that is was very cool to see the clamps made!
Garrett, Another easy to "understand and do" video. Watching this clamp creation video provided the background needed to understand the what and why of the design layout. Thank-you.
Keith, glad that this video helped you so much brother! I'm happy to hear that it was easy to understand.
I have been a CNC and Vectric user for a while and have no need for more clamps but after watching many of your videos I realize that even though “clamps” is the main topic inside there will be information that I can use on other projects. And was I correct, as in other videos of yours there were so many other helpful hints.
Thank you
One day I’ll get the courage to set up a one on one
Just one more thought-if you were to use a 3/16EM for the perimeter cutout you could have gotten that one more row of clamps. I use the 3/16EM for cutouts a lot on .75 material.
Be Safe
Hey Lyle. Ya’ know, I think I’m gonna start doing the 3/16” thing. Such perfect sense. From one CNC’er to another…thank you!
Thanks. I picked up some things I didn't know, about layers and arrays and spirals.. I set mine up in individual rows/files so they can be grouped on any width wood I have laying around. The best thing I learned is to zero off the machine surface, not the work surface, so not to mark your spoil board. I had no idea it worked that way. Note: @ about 25:03 you say "1.8" inch and I'm sure you meant .18 inch as shown in the video.
PaulSchuster-yj4zb, glad to hear that this one helped you out so much my friend. As for the part at 25:03, you are 100% right, I meant to say 0.18"
Garrett you rock. Keep up the good work!!! I’d be lost without ya 👍
Matt, thanks brother!
You made the process of not just making clamps but using the program so easy. Thank you.
James, glad it helped brother! You're so welcome!
You have no idea how much easier you have made my life!!! I love my new clamps. Thank you!!!
Lori, this made me smile. And congrats on your first project!!!
I really learned more how rectangles can be used in ways I didn’t think of. That and the offset from the spoilboard rather than the material surface. As always, more than worth the time Garrett.
Terry, I'm glad this helped my friend!
I had no problems following the video. Seemed very clear to me. Just finished my set of clamps, and can't wait to try them out on my next project. Thank you Garrett!
Greg, sorry for such a delayed response it somehow got lost on it's way to me! I'm glad you were able to follow along and hopefully they turned out great!
@@IDCWoodcraft Thanks Garrett. They work just great! Very versatile.
Greg, awesome!
Wow! Thanks for sharing
Hey Gustavo, you're welcome.
I learn several new things EVERY time I watch one of your videos. Great job!!
Hi David. Funny you say that. I learn every time I make a video. Sometimes, I plan one out and then have no idea how to do the process, so I figure it out and pass it on.
Great video very informative for us noobs 👍from Western Australia.
Matthew, glad it was helpful brother!
Garret, I just recently discovered your channel and am grateful that I have!! I really appreciate your method & style of instruction. Complicated concepts & multi-step things are hard to teach and I commend you on how you are doing. Trying to teach the basics of programs like this with the multitude of functions is difficult without running down what I call "function tangents" or "button tangents" all the time. These are when the instructor drifts off the direction of the lesson to touch on a particular item that is related to but the specifically the operation or worse yet, "Oh yeah, check out this cool thing!" not directly related. I commend you in your handling the complexities & variable ways of doing things and still keeping to teaching the least complicated method of the task.
I am getting started on my CNC journey and will be getting my machine set up and functioning in the weeks ahead. Your videos, wisdom and inspiration have been a huge help. I look forward to developing this endeavor into a successful business! Thank you again!
Paramoose, congrats on jumping into CNC. I am excited for you to pick up your new machine and I am excited to see what you create firsT!
This video encouraged me to switch from my own clamp design to yours. And I definitely need to make a news bacth, as mine is almost at the end of its lifecycle. Motivating! Thanks!
tec4ever72, I'm glad to hear the video was helpful for you! It's great that you're inspired to make a new batch of clamps. Happy woodworking!
Garret One thing to bring up with this video make sure that when you cut the camps you are going with the grain if you are not using plywood. The clamps will snap if cut across the grain
Hey Larry. I thought I covered that. Thanks for pointing it out. I''ll add it to the comments in the video
By far, the easiest video to follow. And I’ve watched a lot of videos on making clamps! Thanks for another great video!!
SB,they keep telling me that. I guess I'm doing the right thing
This is like my own personal CNC class. Love the videos
Michael, you made me laugh. Awesome!
I can’t get enough of these marvelous videos. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Steve, welcome aboard brother!
Thanks Garrett. Just picked up a used CNC and worked through this practical tutorial in Vcarve. Very helpful in learning the software and process. I expanded the relief pocket 1/4” to remove the curved edges and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the strong content.
Shop Dad, I am happy to hear that this video helped you. Keep up the good work learning CNC brother!
I like your design. Instead of using my CNC to make these I used your dimensions and designed them in Fusion 360 and then 3d printed them. Will give them a try once I get my MPCNC completed. Thanks!
Hey Dave, send me pictures. I'd like to see
@@IDCWoodcraft just sent over the pictures to your email address.
Thanks for the video, enjoyed it
Thanks Ron
Thanks 'Garrett. Excellent video, Your video's are a tremendous help for a beginner like my self.
Bill, my pleasure brother I'm happy to help!
Love all the little vectric tips in your videos! Got my clamps cutting now and they look great so far.
John, thank you! I'm glad they've been helpful for you so far brother!
Yet another awesome video. I have watched the video three times. You made it very easy to follow along while I created the project in VCarve.
navarholmes6358, Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad the video was helpful for you. Happy woodworking!
Very helpful information. I'm new to the CNC and your videos are very helpful. Thanks so much.
James, glad it was helpful brother! Happy cutting!
Thank you! I watch as many videos of yours I can and I learn a lot from each.
Hi William. Thank you. So glad to have you here!
Yet another amazing video. I am glad that I discovered your videos. I'm learning so much while I'm waiting for my CNC machine to arrive.
Robert, happy to have you here brother! Keep learning everything you can while you wait for your machine. You got this!
Another good video and learned a different way to do layers, arrays, and tool paths. Thanks for the information this will prove to be very helpful.
Hi Joe. thank you for the compliment. I falmost felt this video was almost too much nfo in one shot. what do you think?
@@IDCWoodcraft I knpw I learned a lot from it that I did not know. I had to watch it twice today. It eplain some things that I do not remember from vcarve help file. Thanks I enjoy and find these videos helpful.
Excellent, clear and precise
pontushanson4325, glad it was helpful brother!
looking forward to trying this
Mike, glad you enjoyed it!
You do a great job
Frank, thank you!
Hey Garrett, thank you for all the time you put into these tutorials. Also the ramping down is very good less stress on bits and router
Lucian, you're so welcome brother! I'm happy to help!
Look good I need to sit down n make me some with all the scraps iv got
Go for it brother. Even the smallest scraps can be used...
@@IDCWoodcraft I got plenty of scraps lol. I need get some thin sheets to make a spoil board with first n start doing some new cut out projects.
This will be my first aspire to carbide motion job
Chuck, right on brother! It's a fun project I'm looking forward to hearing how they turn out!
Crystal clear Garrett. Thanks for your dogged determination to make this vid. Your methodology is especially useful; showing the inprocess "fit/function" and clarifying is very helpful. Thanks!
Hi Barry. Thank you. I kinda felt the video was a dud after trying so many times. Seems to not be the case. What kind of projects are you getting into?
@@IDCWoodcraft Primarily projects that will push to expand my knowledge and skills. A simple V carved gift for my wife my 1st project. A really nice 3d carved wedding plaque with curved V carved text for a friend. Other than that getting my new Shapeoko Pro set up with a spoilboard, guide rails, grids, et al; most of these things a deep dive into learning and gaining knowledge.
@@cook6052 love learning new things! keeps the mind active. Let me know when you get this puppy built
I detect a subtle Paul Simon reference there...
I have learned so much from your teachings and you make everything so understandable. I have only been using Vectric desktop for 3 years now, I just can't get enough of your videos. Thank you
Wow, Robert. That was a compliment. I am glad this is helping you. What do you think the best takeaways have been for you?
I think most Is important was knowing how to use node editing
Great video. Thanks for all of the information you give on all of your videos. I have learned a lot from them.
briansbobcat1, I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the videos and finding them helpful! Thank you for your kind words!
Brilliant. Teaching a variety of new techniques in the same video and all clear and understandable (and I can remember them as well).
Thanks Stewart. I try to throw in several techniques whenever I make a video.
Nice detailed video. Thank you. Just an FYI, the Z/2 function works if you hit "=" sign instead of 'enter'. So it would be "Z/2=".
Hi Kanran. I like that little short cut. Sometimes it is those simple little things that make life easier.
Great instructions. I have been thinking about making some clamps for awhile now. Now I know how. Thanks
Hi Alex. Maybe this video was the hint to get at making them...
I know I was overdue for making mine
Garrett just started the trial v carve you said it took you awhile to do the clamps. Still have a hard time following you i have 5 months until i get my onefinity. So hopefully i can somewhat learn a little something before then. I only have laptop. You be clicking on stuff. That. I cant find things delete without clicking on it then right . the box comes up that delete comes up is a easier way to delete i have to play you 50 times just to get a slot. And anything i haven't made it past the second layer you said click on this but you forget to say what you clicked . so i m lost i going to buy the program from etsy. But I'm going to keep trying and going to watch youtube. To use to the vcarve program. Hate to spend a bunch money i don't really have.
Hi Michael. I apologize for things I miss that you don't get. I tried to cover all the bases as best as I can. I have an entire series of videos that are step by step. You might want to download the PDF that I've created with all the videos on the channel. They will walk you through the correct process to learn this stuff. It is set up for beginner CNC router owners.

Hi Pod. Missed your comments. Someone just bought the clamps. Was that you? and thank you by the way.
@@IDCWoodcraft yes just remove the top row of clamps in order to get most out some material I had knocking about the work shop cut well please with the results 👍
@@podman63 excellent, my friend. Send me pics
Thank you!
Hey Richard. You are welcome.
great video as usual. its worth pointing out that the clamp needs to be cut with the grain of the wood running in the long direction on the piece. otherwise they will snap in two. something to consider when laying out your file based on your available material.
Hi Adam. Yeah, sometimes I forget even the basics need to be stated for new people. Thanks for commenting about that.
This is great, ready for the Toolpath creation 👍
Belle, right on glad to hear this one helped you!
This is great!
Thanks Greg!
I really like your detailed instruction. He helps to know what to do and what not to do and why. Thanks for reaching us. db
Thanks Dennis. Ya' know, it takes a ton of time to do these, but shares like this make it all worth it for sure!!!
Thanks for the explanation! Makes perfect sense once you wrap your head around the concept!
thanks Larry. This video was a tough one, for sure.
Thanks for pointing out the spiral plunge. I've been using ramps, but it is slow.
Hi Bob. Ready for a little tip? Ramp and spiral are both plunge moves and will use plunge feed rates. Edit the tool library and change the plunge feed to the cutting feed. It'll all go much faster.
@@IDCWoodcraft Ok, that’s helpful. I think I still like the spiral because of the continuous down movement while cutting opposed to hitting the depth and running at that depth till the next round. Is nice to know about changing the plunge feed to the cutting feed. Thanks and again, I like Vectric and their tutorials are helpful, but you go into more detail and not so matter of fact. And I like when you click on the wrong thing how you explain it as opposed to ignoring it or editing it out. Makes it easier to relate. We all have our little goofs.
@@BobBob-eh5sb yes, I prefer the spiral myself and use it on profile cuts as well as holes. Nice smooth travel. As for the goofs...I think it's important to keep them around for the eaxct reason you said.
Awesome video....and another learning experience.
thank you Garrett
Hi again OKI! We are always learning, my friend.
As usual, awesome video
Mike, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
That was exactly what I was looking for. I thank you. Great video👍 Greetings from Germany
Hi Fehm! Hello from Indiana. So glad this one helped.
I spent several months in your country a couple years ago. Stayed near Regensburg. What part are you in?
Hi Gerrett, I come from the north, to be more precise, from Schleswig-Holstein. Fehmarn is an island on the Baltic Sea and that's where I live. Coordinates 54.4109696, 11.2032681. The text was translated using Google Translate bat mich Englisch is not so good.

My bobs CNC finally arrived last night.!Excited but nervous.
TOD!>>>>it arrived! so excited! Can't wait til I see a picture of your first project.
You deserve a lot more subscribers! Keep going!
Hi Matt. I'm totally committed to helping you and other CNC'ers. I won't stop, my friend!
This was cool
Thanks LG
Great video and tips! I’m a cnc newbie and with a Yora 3018Pro. I designed my clamps in Fusion360 and carved them out with an 1/8” compression bit and the spiral ramp really makes a huge difference with a small router with the small diameter bit. Thanks
Glad this one helped Sean. Happy to hear that your 3018 is up and running!
Thank you great job
Thanks Robert!
Good to follow your development method.
Graham, many thanks brother!
Thanks for your time for making this video 😍
Hey Orsa. Thank you for commenting and letting me know I didn't waste my time.
Very well done. You make very understandable videos.
Hey Troy. Thank you. This is an unexpected compliment because sometimes I wonder if I take it too deep.
I've been using Vectric Aspire for the last few years, so I appreciate your in-depth instruction. I never really even gave much consideration to efficiency of tool path for example, and watched your video on laying out grids, which was a real eye-opener. And just yesterday, I was using the array feature, so picked up a couple of tips there too. You have a real knack for instruction. As I said very clear, and easy to follow. Keep up the great work!
Nice work.
Thanks Dale
Real nice clamps. You explained the process really good. I just started with my onefinity and VCarve Desktop in the last two weeks. It's time to put you great selection of bits to work. Thanks Paul.
Hey Paul. I'm ready to see what you make!!!
Very helpful video, I followed you clearly until laying out the tool path for the final outer profile cut. I would have thought that the start cut height for the outer profile of the clamp would have been the material thickness. In the video I believe you showed it as 0, but I thought that 0 was table top not material top. Did I miss something, or just not quite understand?
Brian, apologies on the confusion on that one brother. When you are setting up your toolpaths, the software considers the top of your project surface as its internal coordinate reference plane.
Basically, it doesn't matter if you set up your project to have the Z zero to be the topmost surface of your project or the surface of your spoilboard, you will set up the toolpaths the exact same way for either case.
Very helpfull again :) i definatly will try and make some clamps myself.
Do it Bruutt. It is very cool to do.
good stuff. thankyou!
Hi PS. Glad you're here and you're welcome.
Great explanation. Very clear. This will be one of my first projects!
wagsman999, glad it was helpful brother! Happy cncing, you got this!
Garrett,
Thank you for the tutorials.
I’m new to CNC’s and your tutorials make an overwhelming task of learning this space MUCH more achievable. In fact, I’m leaving Carvco for Vectric because your tutorials are so thorough and easy to understand.
Almost forgot…I love your app, tools and tool F&S data. Thanks again for all you’re doing.

Wow! Mind blown! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Beagle! Thank you. what kind of projects do you make?
@@IDCWoodcraft We make various projects, cutting boards, jewelry boars, etc. We have a cnc machine and hate the table clamps that came with the machine. We're going to make some like your video shows :) Check out our channel to see some of our projects! Thanks for the reply!

Wonderful and very helpful video as always. I watch as many of yours as I can.
Hey KArl! Thank you for sharing the compliment, and for being part of theis channel.
Very cool!
articlevlastchance, Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I am enjoying your videos so much. I understand what you say so much better than most videos I have watched. I'm a visual learning person. Do you have an instruction for preparing the spoil boards? Thank you again, I am so ready to get started with my CNC
Hi SD. I do have a video about spoilboards. Click here:ruclips.net/video/-NsPZD0az5Y/видео.html
Well done. Thank you for the info.
Hi Matt. Thank you!
Really like the Spiral technique. Much easier on my router. I need to get some downcut bits . The up-cut I have seemed to work out though I just wasn’t sure wether to use the climb or conventional setting. I just went a little slower. Thanks for the video.
Something else I thought of also is that before a person pulls the parts you could make a rubber mold and then pour in what ever mold material you liked to make a stronger Clamp if you desired to.
Oh Sim, you have given me an idea!!! I might start making clamps. And I can make the mold to make them. I am getting requests for clamps.
@@IDCWoodcraft That’s great.
