Thank You Dany! You actually gave me the idea to make this video, as you reached out to me offline, and asked the question. Thank you for the inspiration!
@@dany230658 I use SVG files for my inlay's, and strangely, I really did have to manipulate the mask to get good cuts. some of the vectors were just not good. Keep tuning in, and I should be able to get a video up. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks - that's really useful. Like some of the other commenters, I've struggled with getting the "recipe" right for these inlays. The most success I've had has been with toolpath settings from Broinwood but you're explaining much more about the rationale for defining the tool parameters etc. Are you planning to do a video on the v-carve toolpath settings you use (depth, start depth etc).?
Thanks for watching! I did a video with my toolpaths before (ruclips.net/video/QwZWZspI8tg/видео.html), but if more clarification is needed, I can certainly update that information. I appreciate the question, and hopefully can provide a good answer for you!
Thanks for watching! For the longest time, I watched other creators videos, and saw that they were using tapered ballnose bits, but never explaining how to use them properly. I did a lot of trial and error, and figured it out. I posted the video, because I figured I was not alone.
Thanks! So the flat diameter is the same as the diameter of the ballnose and does this not mess up the length of the bit by removing the vertical distance of the ballnose radius?
@@s.peters947 The flat diameter is actually the Radius of the bit (half the diameter), so that it accounts for the very pointy tip. The bits mentioned and that I use are 1/32" diameter, but 1/64" radius. Hope that helps.
Thank you man! I’ve been wanting to do inlays without the vbit and I wondering if I should just replace the vbit with a ball nose and I think this answered the question. I’m using carbide create but I think it’s still possible.
Hi thank you for the video Question as flat diameter you entered 1/64 this is a radius of the bit. Can you please explain why you put the radius instead of the diameter? Do we need to enter diameter which is 1/32? Thank you
Thanks for watching! I use 1/64 for the flat diameter, as it is a cross-over from the tapered ballnose parameters. When I configure this as an engraving bit, I take the tip radius from the tapered ballnose parameters, and use it for the flat diameter when configured as an engraving bit. I haven't tried it using 1/32nd. I think I will experiment, and see if this will work too. Thanks for the question, and thank you for watching!
Awesome video. I have been having trouble with inlays and cuts in general with this bit. Corners seem to leave "dots" and I am struggling to figure out what the problem is. I am going to give these numbers a try and see how they work - already seeing that it should be an engraving and not a TBN is already eye opening. Another question/side note - I use vcarve and even when I make a straight line sometimes when I cut it, it will appear that it doesn't cut as straight as the CNC should. I saw somewhere else there might be a node in the middle of the line and that might be the issue, but when I check it doesn't appear to be. Sometimes it's straight, sometimes it's not. Seems to only happen on smaller lines. Figured I would pick your brain. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! I regretfully have no answer for your question regarding lines. Only thing I can think of is possibly that you are missing steps on occasion. The cause being too deep of a pass, or to fast of feed.
@@tk.designsThanks. I changed the tool to an engraving bit in the database but it doesn’t populate into vcarve inlay. Not sure if it’s an issue with version 12? I’m running it as a pocket toolpath instead but it looks like you were able to have it come up as an engraving bit in the inlay tab? Or did you run it as a pocket toolpath? Thanks in advance.
@@SeamlessFab In version 12, it needs to be changed to a v-bit. This video: ruclips.net/video/5wAd4p_fNkU/видео.html shows how the change was made for version 12.
Use the save toolpath function, and if you have a network connection to your CNC, you can save to that location, or you save it locally, and transfer it via usb drive. What type of CNC are you using, and how do you control it? Thanks for watching!
Correct. You can do a vcarve tool path for the plug side and the pocket side as separate tool paths. Vcarve 12 Pro just offers a new toolpath that does the calculations for the pocket and plug as a single wizzard type menu. Thanks for watching!
SO for the FLAT section of the tool entry your entering the radius and not the actual D diameter which is 1/32? in v carve the entry is asking for the flat I--I which is the D of the tip... correct? and D of 46280 is 1/32 which would be .793242mm..... thanks
I enter the radius, and have had good results, but now you have me thinking, maybe I should try using the diameter instead. Thanks for pointing this out. I think what happened is that when converting to an engraving bit, it does not transpose the parameters entirely correctly. I will be making an updated video soon! Thanks for watching!

Hey just curious if you’re using clearance tools for your inlays with this bit, or if you’re just cutting the entire inlay with this one.
Thanks
Yes, I use a 1/8 endmill for most of my clearing. Thanks for watching!
