It means you often get a built in finishing pass, and reduces shocks of stress when a v bit has to try to hog out its full diameter after a quick plunge. I find the limited pass depth on VCarving to be very helpful. It required basically no additional work, beyond sanding down to 180 grit on the surface, and then coating in matte spray lacquer. The carve came out very clean, though I did edge up the RPM a bit to help deal with a few strings that were loosely attached to the base of the carves. It was then profiled with an Amana 46315 0.25" Upcut Spiral bit.

This was programmed in VCarve Pro using an Amana 45704 90 deg V-Bit. The cut path loads with an estimated time of 3hr30min but it did not take nearly that long. a sand free, finish ready commission that’s about to put money in your pocket or a gift that will put a huge smile on your friend/family member’s face? Some of this may seem super conservative and/or “bad” for an endmill’s longevity, but what’s some extra wear on a bit vs. I have and an already aggressive cut pass 200% override can scare the bejeezus out of you and leave you scrambling for the emergency stop/feed hold. I will watch the first portion of the pocketing with the 1/32" bit and adjust the feed override accordingly depending on how the first pass pocket bottom looks like and how it sounds cutting through tight corners as the engagement of the tool “spikes.” If I am too busy to watch the first few minutes, I will slow it down to 80% override and keep the music down so I can listen, but don’t forget to reset your feed before starting the next tool. 0005 chip load for a 1/32’ end mill may seem off, but it calls for a feed of 53 ipm according to the wonderful table and I set feed at 40 ipm. Here is the setup and f&S for the 1/32" bit:Ī. 001" for the advanved vcarve clearing due to the “zero point” tip. I should also add that I set the stepover of my vbit to. This is a holdover from my settings for regular vcarving of letters and numbers which seem to work just fine considering I cut mostly poplar and pine/fir which is notorious for stringy/fuzzy/chipout crap. From there I can play with the feed overrides to get it sounding and looking just right for each individual piece of wood, at times being able to run it at an almost 200% override, sometimes down to 70%. 030"-.060" (this is mostly to prevent major chipping of fine details) with my feed and plunge rate set to 30/15 25k rpm. In terms of getting clean cuts with the vbit, I crank the depth of cut per pass way back to somewhere in the realm of. I used the Advance VCarve toolpath with a 1/32" 4 flute upcut endmill for the pocket clearing, and an Amana #45707 60 degree “zero point” vbit. I am sure most people would gasp at some of my design/cut files.

I haven’t used ANY design software since high school/early college days and I am by no means doing it “correctly” or efficiently.
The image was pulled into Inkscape and traced, with a little hopping back and forth between boolean and node editing in both CC and Inkscape (multiple node selection in CC is tedious). Adding more tool path applicable pictures soon I’ll get my full submission with cut file and info posted later today.Įdit: I removed the cut file. Node editing vectors is a very powerful way to be able to make changes to the vectors in your part.Decided to play around with the new advanced vcarving in carbide create. If you right click on nodes or spans a context sensitive popup menu will be displayed which allows you to insert or delete points and nodes, cut the vector, move the start point, etc. The start and end directions of Bezier curves can be fixed when being dragged directly, by toggling on Keep Bezier Tangency mode.
Holding down the Ctrl key while dragging an arc or Bezier span will move the entire span rather than change its shape. The shape of individual spans can also be edited by dragging the span itself using the left mouse button. Multiple nodes and control points can be selected and moved by using the multiple selection options such as the Shift key and dragging to make a selection. The shape of lines, arcs and Bezier (curve) spans can be edited by clicking and dragging on the nodes or control points to move them.
Nodes can be interactively moved by clicking and dragging the left mouse button on a node to select and move the node to a new position. When the Node Editing tool is active the cursor changes to a Black Arrow indicating that individual points (nodes) and their connecting spans can be edited.
