CNC Router Raised Panel MDF Doors With Vectric V Carve - No Special Tools, No 3D Tool Paths - EASY!

We get asked how to make MDF Raised Panel doors on a CNC router without the use of a 3D model, molding tool paths, or special form tooling. In this video, I will show you how to design and program a raised panel door using a standard V bit and a Down-cut endmill. This can work on any CNC router and will work with Vectric V Carve and V Carve Pro.

Well done. I was asked by a customer to do a kitchen remodel and could not figure out a way to accomplish this and had to turn the job down. Very useful information for the future! Thanks Eric

Glad I could help. I am working on another video now regarding Doors but without V Bits and allow for more customization

Great video! Just did an inset flat panel and came out perfect!

Hi from Türkiye. Thanks for the video. The fact that you managed to achieve such impressive results without the need for specialized tools or complex 3D tool paths is truly impressive. I'm curious if your CNC milling machines in the D and M series are compatible with Alphacam. Do you have a Post Processor developed for this? Is there any other channel, similar to the "toolstoday" , creating Turkish for Stepcraft, aside from Stepcraft Turkey? Best regards..

[@StepcraftInc]

I am not familiar with Alphacam. Email [e-mail] and we can look into it for you. I am not aware of any other channels like Tools Today... I am sorry

[@ABFextension]

why you dont use profile inside by vbit tool- with corners (sharp internal corners)

[@ericdevarney4089]

there is a much easier way to do this, no need to use profiles. Everything is done in Modeling

I watched a video last year, and was able to do basically what you just did, but I used two V bits--90 and 120--and a 1/4" endmill, plus a 1/8" compression for the profile cut. I also made fake vertical lines between the stiles and rails, so the whole door looked like a true 5-piece door. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmGnp5Kfrbyhpas

I never saw this video before. Very good info. I released a new video today that uses the molding tool path in V Carve Pro and I also added info about how to make the fake vertical lines. Thank you for sharing.

could not turn my volume up high enough to hear the video.
