[@AndyCiordia]

Been so so so busy lately. Getting back to some projects and this was a great watch as always. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Both the videos and projects you do. I see you’re using some pressure clamps to push against the PVC instead of just the angle boards. Whose are they? I like that.

[@MandSWoodworks]

I found them on Amazon. They only work well with heavy stuff, otherwise I only use them by clamping then against the wooden wedges to keep from backing out on aggressive cuts. Thank you for the compliment! Here's an Amazon link to the clamps. amzn.to/3Xnzt3U

[@rescobar8572]

Your new subscriber here... now here's an idea.... cut out picture examples on a board that explained all that start and stop end depths. Like a cross section slice of how the depth heights relate to inlay cutting. I know Derek would try to do one better 😂😂😂😂

[@brianneighbor1490]

Looks great

[@brianneighbor1490]

Would love to chew the fat sometime. I'm trying to sort all this inlay stuff out in my head

[@treeturnedtreasures1598]

There is no limit stopping one from using a tapered ball nose bit in Aspire. I do it all the time with great results. I have no idea why you would use the engraving mode to do inlays. I always make my inlays .3" deep and use a plug start depth of .25" and a flat depth of .05". I don't see the need to have a large glue gap like most folks use. I just finished a board the other day with these setting and it came out perfect. BTY I'm using Aspire 10.5.

[@MandSWoodworks]

With respect... You must have not watched my other inlay videos. I always shoot for zero glue gap on most of my inlays. There are some cuts where a glue gap is acceptable, but most of the time my goal is to have the inlay plug completely seat against the floor of the pocket. Regarding your use of a Tapered Ball Nose and leaving it assigned as such in Vectric: Are you using the INLAY tool path in Vectric to cut your inlays or are you using the VCARVE tool path to do the VCARVE INLAY TECHNIQUE? The reason why I ask is because using a Tapered Ball Nose bit in a Vcarve Toolpath and it be assigned as a Tapered Ball Nose in the Tool Database will result in a very different behavior when cutting the Inlay/Plug portion of the Inlay. I know this from experience. I would be very interested to see an example of your inlays where you have cut it the way you describe in your comment above. I have a suspicion that you are not using a Vcarve Tool Path, but instead the Inlay Tool Path in Vectric. I sincerely hope that I don't come off as condescending because that truly isn't how I mean to make it sound, but I have extensive experience with this, and having tried assigning the bit as a TBN has resulted in colossal failures for me. If you have figured out a different method I would sincerely like to know what it is. Thank you for watching!

[@treeturnedtreasures1598]

@@MandSWoodworks I stumble onto this video that uses the same basic procedure as I do, the only difference is I use a start depth of 0.0" and a flat depth of 0.05" on the first toolpath then a start depth of 0.25" and flat of 0.3" for the final. Here is a link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZbYoZ6AoJJ4d7c

[@skibamr]

Great board and even better walk thru of what you do and why. Thank you. at 7:24 I have not seen probing done that way on a OneFinity. What probing routing are you using? That would make it ridiculously easy zero off any corner instead of what I do (use a 123 block and the built in zero for front left on the block). Can you provide the probe routine, a link, reference, etc? (Is it an elite 1F? I am running their original buildbotics controller)

[@MandSWoodworks]

Thank you! I don't have the elite upgrade but I did buy the Masso controller and steppers straight from Masso and upgraded it myself. The Masso allows for several comprehensive probing routines that the stock Onefinity controller does not, including the way you see me zero X and Y. I use the Onefinity probing block as a bit setter now and I had the probing block you see on the video custom made for my needs. And yes, you are correct. In my opinion, Zeroing from the center is more precise and repeatable, and it is definitely quicker. 🙂 I hope this answered your question. Thank you for watching!

[@DrgnSlyr]

Nice work. My high school mascot was a Viking too. Question: How are you setting up the tool path to carve away the excess plug material after the glue up? I assume you're using a pocketing tool path with zero depth and zeroing off the top of the cutting board?

[@MandSWoodworks]

That is exactly what I do. If you worry that the surface of the board has warped or moved after gluing in the inlays, maybe set your Z height 10-thou higher than the surface of the board and then let your very last surface pass be level with the surface of the board. Thank you for watching!

[@DrgnSlyr]

@@MandSWoodworks I live in Eastern Oklahoma so warpage is always a concern. Thanks for the info and keep the videos coming.

[@quesohusker]

Amazing work! I think I transcribed the numbers you described accurately (but I added a pre-clearing path for underpowered hobby machines like mine). Did I get the numbers right? And did I understand that you use engraving and not v-carve toolpaths? Pocket Start .00 Flat Depth .25 Plug Clearing 1 Start .00 Flat Depth .25 Clearing2 Start .25 Flat Depth .1 (Total .35) Finishing Start .25 Flat Depth .01

[@MandSWoodworks]

I use a vcarve toolpath. I list my tapered ballnose as an engraving bit in Vectric. Your 'Clearing2' pass is not necessary. I ONLY did that for the video to create a visual reference to explain the difference between START DEPTH and FLAT DEPTH. Your other numbers look fine. Please do a test on scrap wood before cutting on good wood! Good luck!

[@aspirecncworks5686]

Brother can you show me how you have the tapered ball nose set up in vectric pls

[@MandSWoodworks]

I enter the TBN as an engraving bit. But beware, I have had dozens of folks ask me this question and they'll change the bit settings only for some to have success and others failures. There is way more to it than just the toolpath. The vector image that you use, and how it's prepared to use in your toolpaths is a huge factor, not to mention other things like machine setup, etc. Please do test cuts on scrap and decide what cut settings are best for you, because if you use mine expecting perfection, you might be disappointed. Good luck and thank you for watching!

Amazing work, just curious how you found out who to use for the artwork and how much do they charge. I would love to learn to do this kind of inlay but I’m already learning 3 separate softwares right now so there is no way to learn adobe illustrator on top of it! 😅

[@MandSWoodworks]

Bohdan is the same guy that Broinwood uses. Broinwood always puts Bohdan's contact info in the description of his videos, so I contacted him from that. You're going to spend over $100 in some cases if you hire a graphic artist to create a custom graphic. Good luck!

[@120woodcraft]

So you set your tapered ball nose end mill as an engraving bit? Then run as a v-carve cut?

[@MandSWoodworks]

That is correct

[@1averageamerican]

Do the inlays need to be end grain as well? Or will they carve just as well into face grain or edge grain?

[@MandSWoodworks]

Yes, both the base and the inlay is end grain. No, end grain carves light years better than face/edge/side grain. Side grain is very difficult to get small details without tearing out. End grain is much more forgiving. And, no. I would not mix and match end grain to side grain. Over time as the wood moves (Expands and contracts) you risk it separating from each other. I hope that this helps. Thank you for watching!

[@LutzCnC]

Hmm. Because in Broinwoods course he enters his TBN in as a Vbit not engraving.

[@MandSWoodworks]

I've never seen his course but I have tried entering the TBN as a vbit and using it as a TBN and I could not get either of them to work properly. The only success that I have ever had was changing the bit type to an Engraving bit. If he does use it as a Vbit, I would like to know how exactly he gets it to work. The reason being is because when entering it as a vbit, Vectric considers the vbit to have an infinite tip and an Engraving bit has a flat tip. When creating a toolpath using a vbit, Vectric will assume that the tip comes to a point and it will cut along the vectors as such. If the bit actually has a flat tip of any size, then it will not cut along the vector accurately. If you happen to know for a fact that showing it as a vbit bit, I am sincerely curious how you do it. I have never claimed my way is THE way, it's just a way that I figured out on my own. And another thing to consider is that my method, I shoot for a zero glue gap. Other methods allow for loose tolerances and will usually always have some sort of glue gap.

[@rrr92462]

Is tear out ever a roblem when surfacing the end grain?

[@MandSWoodworks]

Not often, but it does indeed happen. Usually on softer woods like Black Walnut, it will have a tendency to tear our during surfacing if I run it too aggresively. Thank you for watching!

[@quesohusker]

Can we get a link to the podcast you did with Mark? I'm not finding it on his channel.

[@MandSWoodworks]

It isn't public. The show I was on was for only his members. He wants me to come on for his public Sunday show in the very near future.

[@LutzCnC]

Couldn’t you use the new carve inlay in V12 with a TBN entered as a Vbit?

[@MandSWoodworks]

Not in my experience. A vbit doesn't have a flat tip like that Engraving bit does. I don't understand the physics with each bit type but the behavior between a tbn and an engraving bit is very different.

[@rirsz]

Thanks for the video. Where can I get more info on how to prepare and image for inlays? I'm having issues with one of mine, and I'm thinking it may be the image I downloaded. Thanks!

[@MandSWoodworks]

I honestly don't know of a resource with definitive information about how to prepare images and vectors for inlays. With most things in this hobby, you either have to find a half witted video like this one, or figure it out on your own. I know this isn't a great answer, but it's really the truth.

@@danielrdz003 I'm glad to help. No, you don't "need" to take a course. It's very user friendly. But there are tons of KZbin videos on the subject to get you started. Check out Mark Lindsay here on KZbin. His channel is based around Vcarve tutorials. It's a great resource to learn from.

[@marcellobellon5666]

How do you handle corners? Do you leave them sharp or add a radius?

[@MandSWoodworks]

It varies on the board, and my mood at the time. Ha! Sometimes I will run a router with a round over bit over them. On this board, I just sanded them down enough to soften them up and take the sharp edges off. I intentionally left the footage of me sanding out of the video because I always thought it was boring and nobody cared. And now here you are with a question about sanding. Lol. Thank you for watching!

[@marcellobellon5666]

Hi, I was asking about the corners in the inlay vs the board pocket. Sorry

[@goodwoodwoodworks]

Ha! I was wondering where you sanding was. I may be one of a few, but sanding is cathartic for me.

[@MandSWoodworks]

​@@marcellobellon5666 Oh! That also depends on the situation. If the corners have very narrow angles then I will most likely round them off to prevent issues with the inlay fitting in the pocket. But if the angle is broad enough I'll leave the sharp edge in. I hope I answered your question.

[@marcellobellon5666]

Thank you, I use Fusion 360 to draw and cut my work, I’ve been adding the tool tip radius to all my corners. Lots of time drawing.
