What a fantastic and clear tutorial. No waffle. Just straight forward explanation of what is going on. I have subscribed. Thank you. I'm an ex CNC turner but new to routing & Vectric. Jim

[@rickmccaskill7888]

Kyle, I have found that it helps to put a tool number, because if you output all the cuts in one file your CNC will see the tool number changed and stop to alert you to change the tool. Having them all the same it will not stop.

[@fierceflyer5]

I’m glad you mentioned the file info not being correct. I found this out the hard way. Now if I download a file I always check that the info is correct. This was a very helpful video. Thanks

[@wallystoolshed7050]

I ran into your videos yesterday. I am glad a did. You are an excellent teacher. Kerp up the great work

[@JimKlempel]

This was an amazing video. So helpful and easy to follow step by step. This was just the bit I was adding so it worked out great. Thanks

[@flypic1098]

Thank you very much for that clear explanation. Your tutorials are fantastic. Thank you. Jim

[@LearnYourCNC]

Glad you like them!

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

Good information Kyle and good suggestions on depth rate and naming tip

[@3waymore]

This was a perfect explanation and tutorial video

[@gregsanda9953]

Your videos have been a real help. Keep up the great work.

[@mr.mughalll]

Well Explained

[@robertpfohler363]

Great info and very concise as always! Thanks

[@LearnYourCNC]

My pleasure!

[@jackseiler5207]

Big Help! Thank you.

What about adding end mills, is it the shank diameter or the tip diameter. And also tempered flat bottom, they have no tip radius

[@dawnbigwarfe6871]

Excellent info thanks

[@powerpc6037]

I've heard that you should set the plunge rate equal to the feedrate for tapered ballnoses doing finishing toolpaths because it will slow you down to the plunge rate anyways when you have lots of up/down movements while doing 3D models. I've set both my parameters to 2000mm/min (around 78ipm) for both those feeds and it works out ok, even on hardwood (only tried afromosia for now).

[@troypritchard2999]

Great information my friend..... Good explanation...... 👍

[@LearnYourCNC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rgoldino]

I downloaded the Amana tools database directly from the Amana website. Have you checked their tool database to see if it is any more accurate than the one from Toolstoday?

Love From Bangladesh... 🥰🥰

[@billwallace1057]

in your description of entering the angle of the taper, you used 6 deg. That would be the included angle. However the diaghram showing the tool in the database indicated the angle from the center line out which is half of the included angle....... now im confused a to which angle to plug into the d-base

[@n4cls1]

Is there a way to edit the Vectric Tool List outside of the Vcarve Software. I currently use Vcarve Pro 11.016 and would like to work outside the tool database and then import my tools?

[@Heartbroken-di9fq]

Sir this tutorial was a inches but I need a millimeters sir can you make add new tutorial for me in millimetres ❤ take love from Bangladesh

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

Just rewatched the video. It was good the second time around too. I have noticed BROINWOOD and others are using TBN to do their inlays using a vcarve toolpath. I just watched a video where the creator indicated to be able to use a TBN for vCarving to do inlays required a person to enter the TBN as an Engraving bit. That was new information to me and I am not sure it is accurate because I believe I have selected my TBN 46280K in a vcarving toolpath and it worked as expected? Am I wrong - can I use a TBN in vCarve toolpath as a TBN or do I need to enter it as an engraving bit?

[@LearnYourCNC]

I just checked and you can use a TBN with a vcarving toolpath, so I would enter it as a TBN tool to reduce the possibility of errors.

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

@@LearnYourCNC thank you for checking - I thought this was the case.

[@martintvrdy3297]

Super !

[@eitantal726]

11:45 why 1/32? I thought for a pass depth of one diameter, you don't need to slow down anything. Hence, should be 1/8", no?

[@Z-add]

Why doesn't it require the length of endmill? Isn't that a useful parameter?

[@LearnYourCNC]

Good question, that is a useful parameter but Vectric software currently does not require it. They rely on you to determine whether or not your tool is long enough to complete the job. Most of the time it is just fine. But if you are making deep cuts, that is when you want to be cautious and double check everything. However, it would be ideal if Vectric adds that in as a parameter in the future to avoid collisions on deep carves.

[@karlalbert1089]

sorry, but your link for purchasing such bit is completely unrealistic. They are sold for ~ 10€ from china and are the same quality.

[@james-kaygibson4437]

Good Info. Thanks.
