Great job Kyle. Will be downloading Vectrix Pro week and will be signing up for your course.

[@michaellundgren6949]

I'm new to CNC. Your video is really invaluable to learning how to use Vcarve effectively.

[@stephencameron8438]

Thank you for the download. You have learned so much from your KZbin clips!

[@GyWO10]

This was awesome!! I’ve been taking a much longer process to get tight joints that are no where near as accurate as this process! Thanks for sharing!!

[@LearnYourCNC]

I am glad it helps! Now you can speed your process up!🏎💨

[@KarelKubela]

You are one of the best teachers Kyle. Thank you. Very useful!👌🏻

[@LearnYourCNC]

Thanks Karel, I am glad to hear that! 😊

[@jessejohnson159]

Thank you Kyle!

[@RonInAVan]

Wow!! great tutorial Kyle, so easy to follow along. You are a great teacher, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@deonholt]

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks very much. I am brand new to CNC and looking forward to using these techniques. I will start with this shelf.

[@peterward8776]

good video the best surprise tip was the extend tool at 12.10 in i had never used it even though it was there all the time

[@ozguzzi]

Fantastic video!! I did learn a lot from this. Thank you very much. I love these tips.

[@LearnYourCNC]

Glad it helps!

[@onlyychevys]

Thank you for the info and the file, I have to make the same thing for my wife's craft shows. I'm off to a good start now thanks to you!

[@LearnYourCNC]

I am glad it helps! I designed this one for my sister's craft show.

[@JohnColgan.]

Great hints. Thank you

[@maddogtungate6740]

Nice presentation Kyle.

[@tq2655]

Very useful. Thank you Kyle. Jim

[@aungmyat7242]

Thank You Very Much, Kyle.

[@dal2888859]

Great tips thank you

[@GokuSuper69]

I learned a lot from this. I wish I found this channel sooner. Good stuff!

[@markcollins499]

I subscribed to the lessons. Well worth the investment

[@LearnYourCNC]

I am glad you learned a lot and I'm glad you found my channel!😊

[@richardM980]

outstanding presentation of a very useful set of techniques. Who has not ever cut a joint too loose and spent a ton of time fixing it. Great Tips and as a multi year student of your course I gotta say its easily the best money I have ever spent on my CNC! Keep them coming!

[@LearnYourCNC]

I am glad you liked it and I am glad you are enjoying my course! Thanks for your support!🙌

[@benellis7239]

Awesome video!

[@billysmether6237]

Great video! Thanks!!

[@troypritchard2999]

This is some very usefull information..... Thank you Kyle for sharing your knowledge. I recently made a cupcake stand with this kind of assembly..... my issue was I had painted the wood before I cut it out, therefore leaving my "slots" not big enough...... Now I know how I should have tested it before cutting the whole project out. Even though... the thickness of paint will not always be the same thickness.... LOL..... Thanks again.... Have a Safe and Wonderful Holiday 👍

[@LearnYourCNC]

That is a great point! I have also run into that issue before with the paint thickness haha. Live and learn. I am glad you found this video useful! Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day as well!

[@RightHandShot]

Thanks, nice tips

[@ronrandle7963]

Great video, Kyle!! Next time I need to see your SS23 in action and maybe try a 1/8" compression bit and cut in one pass ;-)

[@Advancedtechnical]

Great video super useful learnt several new things, thanks so much

[@LearnYourCNC]

Glad to hear that!

[@8thsinner]

I had no idea you could put calculations into boxes to offset things, thats pretty dang handy I bet. Great video, nice strategy too.

[@LearnYourCNC]

I am glad you learned something new! :)

[@cncwoodcrafofficial]

🎉good job❤

[@brandonbevan6426]

Good video boss. Probably can make more videos by using what we do in class projects.

[@LearnYourCNC]

Thanks! That's the plan :)

[@Bart_Depestele]

Nice video, thank you

[@LearnYourCNC]

Glad you liked it!

[@karlalbert1089]

Its much easier to adjust the diameter of the Routerbit in the toolpath data..

[@CraigLafferty]

As always- best information on this channel! I use the same tape: be careful because it can work too well and rip the veneer off cheap plywood. I'm saving my money for your course and looking forward to it!

[@LearnYourCNC]

I am glad you liked the video! Thanks for the warning and I actually had the same issue with cheap plywood - just had to be more careful pulling the tape off haha. I am looking forward to seeing you in my course community!🙌

[@deonholt]

Hi. I will have my CNC machine this weekend. In the meantime, I learn VCarve Pro by watching many videos like this one. I have downloaded the shelf files to learn/duplicate what you teach on this video. I work in metric and made my work area 1 000mm x 1 000mm ±40" x 40". When I import one of the files, it is a small little sketch on the bottom left of the work piece. Am I doing something wrong? I thought it will be on a 1:1 scale. I import the *.dxf file. Your video doesn't show how you import the file. Thanks very much.

[@eitantal726]

isn't there a button that auto arranges your cutout shapes for maximum utilization? I forgot what it's called

[@LearnYourCNC]

Yes, that is called the Nesting tool but it is not available in the Desktop versions of Vectric software. You can see a video I did on Nesting here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2rTZJRmf8lmfac

[@user-bw5xf3yr3m]

Lmao the fart noise made me laugh

[@mikemcdonald1351]

I would just change the tool Dia. If over all part Dim. Not critical.

[@LearnYourCNC]

You can do that too but I think the allowance offset is easier and that's what it is there for😉

[@iounatta]

Yeah, and I mic my endmills. Most cheaper endmills are off. My 1/4" bits are often .244. Starting with the actual size can help.

[@zoltanbereczki8067]

Your ancestors are surely Germans. You look like a German, you are technical like a German :D You are very experienced and you talk about excellent things - but the emotionless style of your speech makes the whole thing sound very boring :D I have to concentrate hard to not fall asleep while listening to your fantastic tips :D

[@LearnYourCNC]

Guten Tag! You have my funny bone tickling with your comment. Ja, it seems my face screams "Deutschland" and my style whispers "Ssshh... sleep." :D Even though I'm not German by birth, maybe my spirit is just trying to abide by the German efficiency mantra a tad too earnestly, eh? You've given me something to ponder over, a puzzle to solve. I'll definitely try to incorporate a bit more 'oomph' into my presentations. Maybe I'll even add some yodeling to keep things lively!😂 So prepare for the unexpected, my friend! Thanks for your feedback - it's more appreciated than a well-cooked Bratwurst at Oktoberfest! 👍
