Thank You Kyle for this presentation. I've seen you on Garrett Fromme's channel, but this is the first video I've seen you demonstrate a process. Nice work. And thanks for the free file.
outstanding presentation of a very useful set of techniques. Who has not ever cut a joint too loose and spent a ton of time fixing it. Great Tips and as a multi year student of your course I gotta say its easily the best money I have ever spent on my CNC! Keep them coming!
I've had great success using a caliper to get accurate sheet thickness. Designing the piece then using offset vector tool to adjust for joint tolerance. Usually plus or minus 5 thou is enough to get the joint fit I want. That small of an adjustment doesn't show up on the overall piece but does affect the joint. Shrink the vector to loosen and expand to tighten. It's quick, and you don't have to go into each joint to make the adjustment. Just apply to the whole vector
As always- best information on this channel! I use the same tape: be careful because it can work too well and rip the veneer off cheap plywood. I'm saving my money for your course and looking forward to it!
I am glad you liked the video! Thanks for the warning and I actually had the same issue with cheap plywood - just had to be more careful pulling the tape off haha. I am looking forward to seeing you in my course community!🙌
This is some very usefull information..... Thank you Kyle for sharing your knowledge. I recently made a cupcake stand with this kind of assembly..... my issue was I had painted the wood before I cut it out, therefore leaving my "slots" not big enough...... Now I know how I should have tested it before cutting the whole project out. Even though... the thickness of paint will not always be the same thickness.... LOL..... Thanks again.... Have a Safe and Wonderful Holiday 👍
That is a great point! I have also run into that issue before with the paint thickness haha. Live and learn. I am glad you found this video useful! Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day as well!
Hi Kyle, thank you for sharing. Got a question for you if you can help me. Couple days ago I made a square 9 x 6 inches, but when I tested it with a machinist square it was out of square 1 mm. I checked my design and cut another one but the result was the same. I don't know what I did wrong. Thank you for any help on this.
Hi. I will have my CNC machine this weekend. In the meantime, I learn VCarve Pro by watching many videos like this one. I have downloaded the shelf files to learn/duplicate what you teach on this video. I work in metric and made my work area 1 000mm x 1 000mm ±40" x 40". When I import one of the files, it is a small little sketch on the bottom left of the work piece. Am I doing something wrong? I thought it will be on a 1:1 scale. I import the *.dxf file. Your video doesn't show how you import the file. Thanks very much.
Yes, that is called the Nesting tool but it is not available in the Desktop versions of Vectric software. You can see a video I did on Nesting here: ruclips.net/video/U9p3a0Jd3GE/видео.html

I'm new to CNC. Your video is really invaluable to learning how to use Vcarve effectively.
This was awesome!! I’ve been taking a much longer process to get tight joints that are no where near as accurate as this process! Thanks for sharing!!
I am glad it helps! Now you can speed your process up!🏎💨
Wow!! great tutorial Kyle, so easy to follow along. You are a great teacher, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I learned a lot from this. I wish I found this channel sooner. Good stuff!
I subscribed to the lessons. Well worth the investment
I am glad you learned a lot and I'm glad you found my channel!😊
Thank you for the download. You have learned so much from your RUclips clips!
Thank You Kyle for this presentation. I've seen you on Garrett Fromme's channel, but this is the first video I've seen you demonstrate a process. Nice work. And thanks for the free file.
Absolutely brilliant!
Thanks very much. I am brand new to CNC and looking forward to using these techniques. I will start with this shelf.
Thank you for the info and the file, I have to make the same thing for my wife's craft shows. I'm off to a good start now thanks to you!
I am glad it helps! I designed this one for my sister's craft show.

I am glad you liked it and I am glad you are enjoying my course! Thanks for your support!🙌
Great job Kyle. Will be downloading Vectrix Pro week and will be signing up for your course.
You are one of the best teachers Kyle. Thank you. Very useful!👌🏻
Thanks Karel, I am glad to hear that! 😊
good video the best surprise tip was the extend tool at 12.10 in i had never used it even though it was there all the time
Thank you Kyle!
Fantastic video!! I did learn a lot from this. Thank you very much. I love these tips.
Glad it helps!
Great video, Kyle!! Next time I need to see your SS23 in action and maybe try a 1/8" compression bit and cut in one pass ;-)

Same idea as the allowance offset he goes over at 15:30. No edit to the vector...the toolpath will move instead.
I had no idea you could put calculations into boxes to offset things, thats pretty dang handy I bet.
Great video, nice strategy too.
I am glad you learned something new! :)
Excellent video Kyle and thanks for the free file.
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!😊
can you provide a download file version compatible with an older version of aspire!?
Very useful. Thank you Kyle. Jim

Good video boss. Probably can make more videos by using what we do in class projects.
Thanks! That's the plan :)
Great video. What was that little control box you were using in the video at 19:47? Thanks

Great video super useful learnt several new things, thanks so much
Glad to hear that!
Great hints. Thank you
Awesome video!
Thanks for a great Vid.
Great video! Thanks!!
isn't there a button that auto arranges your cutout shapes for maximum utilization? I forgot what it's called
Yes, that is called the Nesting tool but it is not available in the Desktop versions of Vectric software. You can see a video I did on Nesting here: ruclips.net/video/U9p3a0Jd3GE/видео.html
Thanks, nice tips
Nice presentation Kyle.
Nice video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
🎉good job❤
Its much easier to adjust the diameter of the Routerbit in the toolpath data..
Lmao the fart noise made me laugh
Feeler gauge....
I would just change the tool Dia. If over all part Dim. Not critical.
You can do that too but I think the allowance offset is easier and that's what it is there for😉
Yeah, and I mic my endmills. Most cheaper endmills are off. My 1/4" bits are often .244. Starting with the actual size can help.
Step 1 get actual CAD software.
Great tips thank you
