Great video for a newbie like myself, it answered so many questions for me. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you @Adrian Spittles ! I’m pleased to hear it was useful. I have another video on carving you should check on my Chanel you might find useful!! Cheers 😁
Thank you, I'm very new to this and have been looking around for a good explanation on programs. So far you were the better. I learn by sight due to being Dyslexic and was doing good until you started what I thought was designing a bit. At the start you said you were using a 90 deg bit then you got into well I don't know what it was and after that couldn't keep up. All the other vids I watched just picked the bit and moved on. Thanks for a good vid.
Thanks for your comment @Redds Morris. I’m pleased to have helped you with your journey and good luck with your CNC play!!
This is an awesome video and SO helpful with my current project. Saved me hours of frustration I'm sure. Thanks!
Thanks for you kind comment Kai! I’m so pleased to hear 😁😁👍
Finally - really comprehensive tutorial. Well done 👍
This deserves more views.. Nice one!
Thanks Simon 😁
This was incredibly helpful and well put together. Thank you SO much!!
My pleasure Branden 👍 thanks for the kind feedback
Thanks for the time and effort to explain the details. It would be great if you could do a follow-up video to cover things like why that one circle didn't get captured in the top left and how to clean up the centers of contours that are larger than your tool diameter. Loved the visual demonstration at the beginning.
Thanks for your comment Jeffrey! Great suggestion. Ill certainly consider it 😀😀
Nice video and very good explanations. I’m in the process of finishing my MPCNC. I can’t wait to try out some engraving. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind feedback!! I have some other videos soon. Enjoy the build :)
Bro, I know I've just met you, but I already love you 😅🤭💥💥💥
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Subbed!
Thank you 🤣 not a problem!! 👍👍
Thanks Myles. This was super helpful - really great intro to engraving with a V tool using two techniques. And I'm stealing the charred board idea!
Glad to hear! Thanks for the feedback Mark 👍
Great video and explanation but what I would say is either stop down your aperture so that you and the parts you're holding to help explain are in focus or shift focus so that your viewer can see what you're showing them.
Just a tip to help you improve, great work and keep it up!
Your advice is much appreciated!!
This is a perfect tutorial! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Not a problem at all @Marc 😁
Thanks @@NEWTechCreative ! Hope you'll do many more, you have a genuine talent for explaining tough stuff.
I’ve been searching for a long time and finally found a great tutorial!! I subscribed to your channel. You deserve a lot of views. Keep up the good work.
I so pleased my video has helped!! Thank you
Thank you for your video, I passed my first V-Carving :-)
Great to hear @Frédéric Germain ! I’m pleased to hear my video has helped with your CNC journey. Would be great to see some creations. Thank you
Nice job with 'real' models for the demo in the beginning
It would be so helpful when they would implement a depth restriction and support for a cleanup tool. Like the cheapest CAM software like Estlcam can do.
Thanks for making this video.
Not a problem Joseph 😁
Very useful video, thank you
focus on the bits.. waving super blurry objects in front of your face is no fun to look at... but thanks for the tutorial - been looking almost all over for a tutorial like this :)
That was the single most epic explanation of Engraving that is out there in RUclips. Man, you rock :D I struggler with engraving coz I created my tools using Countersink tool (it looked more alike) rather than Chamfer tool
Thanks for your kind comments!! I’m glad my video is of assistance. Have fun engraving 😀
Tip: Take high resolution photos of the final product, and include them into the video
As a frustrated F360 learner I realy appreciated this video. But next time increase the :MOUSE" size so that slow eyes can follow it.
Thanks for the feedback Mark! Great advice 👍
@@NEWTechCreative and sometimes you say "I'm just going to do this"
Don't say that. Explain what "this" is.
Overall a very good tutorial. With some small improvements, it could be the best tutorial.
@NEWTech Creative the circles that was 20mm diameter was roughly the same size as the bit so fusion 360 saw it as a drilling path instead of engraving
Great Tutorial
You my new friend, deserve a follow and thumbs up. Have a wonderful weekend 😁😁
Wish you would have explained the shortcut to copy the sketch in fusion.. been trying to figure that out. lol. ctrl c and v doesnt work the way it did on your screen for me...
Sorry I didn’t clarify. There is another way you can copy - in the sketch, select the sketch items then go to ‘modify’ tab at the top, then ‘Move/Copy’ (or just click ‘M’) then click on ‘create copy’ in move/copy settings, then move! I hope this solves the issue 👍
Thanks! I usually use cheap, free F-Engrave for this kind of work, but if I can do it all in Fusion 360 it will be more convenient.
I'm not really seeing a big difference between the two approaches in terms of results. For the free form shapes, at least, selecting the contour lines on the surface, or selecting the contour lines on the surface with an extruded depth, seems to give the same results.
Am I right in thinking that all the extrude command does is limit the depth of cut in the actual milling?
Not a problem @s j . Yes you are correct! there really isn’t much different as it is only following contour lines, however the extrusion doesn’t make a difference…. The depth of the engrave is set via the bottom height in the tool path setup. It doesn’t take into account the depth of that area, rather it only calculates depth from the with/ how far apart of selected contour lines. I hope that makes sense? Maybe try it out in fusion and watch the preview in fusion to check parameters.
hi thanks for your videos if possible to have for CNC inaly using fusion 360
Thanks for your comment Oun Hajia. Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to try any inlays, however using this technique it’s definitely possible!!
The new JULY UPDATE has not solved the engrave toolpath errors - simply does not like arcs in any closed segment.
Have you investigated this and/or solved the problem?
Thanks for your comment Mark. I’ll have a play today and get back to you.
It all worked great but the May update of Fusion seems to have a big bug if the image has curves.
Left me know if you have a fix please.
Thanks for your feedback @Mark Levenspiel! I've just created a sample engraving tool path and everything seems to be fine. I'm happy to look at your file and check for errors? the only thing I can think of is that somehow you might have changed your 'Junction deviation' or your 'arc tolerance'. Feel free to email me at newtechcreative@gmail.com . Thank you
thanks! great video! how would you clear some of the material before engraving? adaptive clearing? and what kind of tool would be better?
Thanks for your question. Run a face tool path in fusion with a depth of cut around 2mm. I use a 22mm flat facing tool with climb passes for a clean finish. Good luck 👍
@@NEWTechCreative Thank you for your answer! Greetings from Argentina
Boss, can you demo how to do v-bit inlays in Fusion 360 or point me in the right direction
Unfortunately I haven’t seen a good fusion inlay video. I have been meaning to make on for some time now. Sorry I cant help you!
It's not selecting the 20mm circles because your bit is too large. Try cutting them at a higher depth. Cutter compensation will fail because it doesn't make sense to fusion.
enjoyed this, can you explain or show how to create a sign and copy it to cut more that one at a time?
Thanks for your message @Bo toepfer. There are a few ways for copy across patterns. The easiest way for 2D patterns is to export them as a dxf file and import them into future projects when needed!
Question: What, if anything, can be done if you have a weaker spindle and can't use a larger vbit? I have a 1/4" 90 degree vbit and I'd like to make some deeper v-carves but I haven't found any way to do that. Advice?
Good question!! In fusion 360 this is possible. I’ve had to edit this reply a few times as I thought of an easier way each time 😁. Just set you bottom height to desired depth without an offset and use multiple depths to plunge beyond the height of tool flute length. I hope this makes sense... this is just a theory in my head so please let me know if this works??
Thank you for the video. Can you explain how you Zero out the CNC machine and how you set coordinates in Fusion 360? No matter where I put the coordinates in Fusion 360, the zero point always shows up in the center of the model in Universal Gcode Sender
In your setup in fusion 360, ensure to select the stock point option and select where you would like the zero point. If this isn’t selected, it will automatically select the center. Good luck Rob 👍
So did you figure out how to remove the center of the circles in the top right of each geometry?
I believe your depth of cut is to much, try changing it and then regenerate the path use only the ( very tip ) for that much detail.
Too fast to follow for me. A pity because I really want to learn this stuff
