How to Make a Pizza Peel Paddle with Taper, CNC Router Woodworking

[@legalbeigel]

I am 73 years old and you are keeping my mind active. Learned sooo much from inlay and pizza peel videos. Play the parts over and over and attempt to recreate on test pieces. I like your style - particularly when you don't get to the point until you explain why you do it! Yes, I am emerging into an advanced beginner. The ability to stop, try, rewind at my own pace is better than classroom learning where my questions often slow down the pace/experience for the others. Yes, I will emerge as an advanced beginner because I try to internalize your tips and tricks. You are so thorough! I think I will be able to fly after this.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

LegalBiegel, happy to have you here brother! Keep working hard and learning everything you can, I am excited to see where your journey takes you.

[@simonchambers3900]

Great video as always. I have been learning vcarve pro and I would like to accelerate my learning. I know you cover all in your videos. Do you have a sequence of videos from beginning to advance so I can eliminate the searching? If you have that would be great.

[@w4fej]

I have been CNC'ing for four years now and every time I watch one of your how to's I learn new ways to do things I have been doing the hard way. Never too old to learn something new. (I'm 78)

[@IDCWoodcraft]

w4fej, Right on brother! I'm glad the videos have been helping you along your journey. I couldn't agree with you more, you're never too old to learn something new. Happy cutting!

[@bg4371]

You couldn't have been better +++++

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Bg4371, so glad to hear that brother!

[@richardjones2763]

Thanks' Garrett for sending me this video, I'm 78 years young and a new beginner to CNC. The video was very good explaining how to use the software and cutting out the pizza peel. My wife is ready to start using the pizza peel as soon as I make it. I will play the video again and make a step by step written procedure on the computer as to how you made the pizza peel. I will be ordering the bits needed for this project from your website soon. I am looking forward to playing your other videos you have in the future.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

RichardJones, glad to hear this one helped you brother! I am excited for you to make this Pizza Peel.

[@randyhaggar141]

the nice thing about these videos is that for someone like me who is just starting out, it really touches on many different design areas and functionalities of the different buttons in aspire, such as the rulers, and guide lines, turning things off and on, IE: Boxes lit up, etc. GREAT TUTORIAL.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Randy, I'm glad it was helpful for you brother! I'm looking forward to you giving it a try!

[@waltvermunt8958]

Garrett, I resisted watching this video because I have no need for a pizza peel (that I am aware of) and it is a long video, but it covers so much info that I'm glad I did. Well done. You put a lot into this. I learned a lot so thanks.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Walt, happy to hear you got a lot of out this one brother!

[@Renegade_Income]

You are so much better of a teacher than the people who made the software. Thank you. I'm learning a LOT here!

[@daveroman7991]

As always I learned a lot from this video. Don't know that I really need a pizza peel, but what the heck I'm going to make one anyway just for the learning. Thanks.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Dave I had to laugh at this. It's the same with me. I've never made a pizza in my life! But, people have asked for it so I did it. And I learned when I was doing it as well.

[@edhartunian1413]

Excellent video on how to design and make the pizza peel. My biggest fear before buying a machine is how much designer and art skills are required to be able to layout a project.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

edhartunian1413, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Don't worry too much about designer skills - there are plenty of software options that make it easier to design projects, and you can always start with simpler designs as you build your skills. Just practice and have fun with it!

[@brucekiefer2209]

Hi Garrett! Thank you for your excellent video. I'm 73, and being a old dog trying to learn new tricks this is just what i've been looking for!

Hey, Garrett. So, big fan for a long time. I've spent hours watching and learning your videos. Also spent hundreds (or more) buying your bits. I came back to this video during my KZbin travels. About to order the 150 degree bit, lol. Sad part is, I'm waking up at night screaming "PIZZA PEEL"! How many times did you say "Pizza Peel" in this 3 hour video?? You even got away with "nipple"! Love you CNC Brother!

Norman, you are so welcome my friend. Keep working hard and learning everything you can.

[@robertshonka]

Garrett, I have had my CNC for a little over a year and only started running projects for 6 months. I have paid for some videos from Vectric but I learned so much more from yours, especialy on tools to use and what tool paths to work with.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Robert, glad to hear that brother! Keep working hard on your CNC my friend.

[@BlacklandGrass]

After a year, I had not seen a use for the FIllet tool, so that was a gem

[@IDCWoodcraft]

BlacklandGrass, so glad I could help a brother out. It's a useful tool when you know just when to incorporate it.

[@jt2508]

Wow Garrett, that video gave so much information I will need to watch it again and probably a third time. You covered so many different things. i did load my vcarve pro and followed along some. I think the next time I will follow along 100% and then I should have my own G code program to make the project. I really enjoy learning from you. Thank you for what I have gotten so far. I am using revision 11.554, but after I complete this project program I am going to spend the 195.00 to upgrade to version 12. since I am learning , I should probably be using the latest and the greatest. I have seen a few of your videos in 12 that makes things easier, Thanks again my CNC brother

[@IDCWoodcraft]

jt2508, I'm so glad to hear you're finding the videos helpful and that you're diving into VCarve Pro! You’re absolutely right-following along step by step will really solidify your understanding and skills. Upgrading to version 12 will definitely open up some new features for you, and it's great to see your enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for your kind words; I truly appreciate it! Happy woodworking!

[@cablsurfin]

Much more than just a Pizza Peel tutorial. I've gained knowledge of VCarve that can be applied to many other projects. Thank you Garrett for another superb tutorial. I've yet to purchase my CNC machine, but I'm convinced that after extensive research that the LongMill MK2 48x30 is the way to go. I've been immersing myself in your tutorials to get a solid foundation on project design in VCarve Pro before I make the purchase. Thanks again. - Nick

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Cablsurfin, you are so welcome my friend! I am excited for you to jump into CNC so you can start creating. I was wondering if you could do me a favor, if you can use my link when you buy your longmill. It gives me a little pocket change. Thanks! Here's the link, if you decide to use it: sienci.com/product/longmill-mk2/?ref=IDCWOODCRAFT

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

We could have watched a movie on this Friday night, but my wife who wants to learn to use VCarve Pro agreed to watch this one with me. There was a number of functions I hadn't learned despite watching dozens of your videos over the past 8-9 months, so you helped level my design skills up again! It appears I'll soon be making my third bit order from north of the border... almost in so many months - off I go to make a few other things to sell to raise a few bucks for these three bits I don't have yet! ...which is not a bad thing. People often ask "what should I buy when starting" or "what should I buy next" - as it also applies to other types of shop tools, what you NEED for a given project. Buy as you go. So I know I'll likely have a few more orders to go as I approach the end of my first year of CNCing, but you can't and shouldn't go from 5mph to 60mph overnight! Keep up the great work Garrett - even the kitten got transfixed on following your mouse cursor for 5 minutes at one point! 😂

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Michael, I love that you all watched it together that's awesome! You have youself some keepers my friend! I'm glad it was helpful. There's so many functions on Vcarve that I learn something new everyday too! I couldn't agree with you more, I think the busy as you go method is really the best. Otherwise, you end up with a stock pile of bits you have never touched if you buy them all at the beginning! Keep up the good work!

[@brianserrao2331]

Hi Garrett. Man I can't tell you how much I really appreciate your videos...I could go all night just sucking in the information you provide. I just wish to mention two things to you which I noticed between the pizza peel video and information given in the IDC Tool Database which can be downloaded FOR FREE. In the downloaded tool data base, the 150* VBit shows as having a 1 1/2" Diameter, but in the video it shows as being a 2". Also, the information concerning the Form Tool Bit differs form what's in the video and what shows in the downloaded tool data base. The geometry, cutting parameters, and feeds and speeds are different between the video and what's listed in the data base. In any event I created the file in VCarve Pro and the file ran perfectly utilizing the KZbin video on the pizza peel. Simply FANTASTIC!!!! I guess the differences did not have that much (if any) impact on the final product. I will now be able to offer this item to people as an item which I can produce. Thanks so very much and I'll be ordering the bits from you in order to create the pizza peel.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Brian, I am working hard to make sure that there is 100% accuracy between every source but go off the tool database if there is ever any inaccuracy.

[@WikiSnapper]

I have got to get the VCarve Software, I have a 1 year subscription to the Carveco that came with my CNC, so I have time to save my pennies. I really appreciate all the information about bit speeds and tool paths. I happened across your bits on Prime Day before my CNC showed up, and figured, It's worth buying quality. I have been learning ever since. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge. I have been using Adobe's and Affinity's vector software for years, and a lot of the design stuff seems similar. I wish the art software had some of the features I see you use in VCarve. That said, some of the features in the art software are really nice to have. I have no issues with mixing the two. I appreciate how you used the V Carve feature with the larger bit. In my shop, I would have just taken a belt sander to that to get the curve but this is helping me rethink my build methods. I only just got my CNC in and hooked up a few days ago, and I haven't totally wrapped my head around what I can do with it yet. I look forward to the next video. Thank you again!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

WikiSnapper, there's no rush brother. I do find Vetric a little more user friendly especially when first starting out but there's no problem with starting with what you have! I get what you mean about being used to using what you know in the shop. That can certainly come in handy, but it can be an adjustment retraining our brains with the new tools we have. It's a fun challenge! Happy cutting brother!

[@amsteelleoverland8381]

Garrett, amsteelle "overlord" here as you like to call it.... LOL 😂 Great video! Very helpful actually. I was most recently thinking about how you would do chamfers/ tapers on a project or anything in general and this actually does help a lot and will giving this a try in the future. Also I will ad that although your videos are quit long, they are very helpful! I say this because others just fly through "how to" videos, they dont fully explain "WHY" you SHOULD and SHOULDNT be doing something specifically and the reason why or why not, and this is very helpful. It's hard to learn this software when you dont know the reason why or why not to use lets say a specific tool or arrange something in a specific way to get the turn out you are looking for! So far Ive been coming to your channel whenever I need to figure something out and has been helpful in in just about all cases but are still learning the software. Thanks and keep posting

[@michaelherron1674]

Everything looked good until I got to the toolpaths. I am not sure why but the simulation didn't look like it was supposed to. Instead of a gradual taper there was a ledge in the simulation between taper and rest of pizza peel. Looked like the vcarve toolpath in cc basically just ran about 3 passes right down the center of the taper layer shape. I will say though that cc doesn't give me very good previews of the round over bits I got from you either but they always do a great job nonetheless when I run them. It's one of those things I guess. I learned some good stuff through the video either way.

This is amazing. I love learning the steps to projects. I'm going to download your file but as a challenge to myself, I'm going to follow along with this video again and try creating my own. You have made it plain enough that I think I can do it. Thanks for you efforts.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Frank, good call brother! Follow along and try to soak up as much knowledge as you can from the video. It will only make you a better CNCer at the end of the day.

[@peterlokhorst6881]

your instruction is amazing better the Vectric videos

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Peter, wow thanks brother! I'm humbled and glad to be a part of your cnc journey!

[@alfredforbrich4836]

Great job with all the detail. Learned a lot of tips. Thank you.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

alfredforbrich4836, you are so welcome my friend.

[@AndrewR74]

Thank you Garrett. Very instructional.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Andrew, you are so welcome brother.

[@WikiSnapper]

I really appreciate all of these videos!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

WikiSnapper, it's my pleasure brother! I'm glad they've been helpful!

I am in my mid 60's and am new to the CNC cutting. I enjoyed watching your pizza peel video mainly to see how the taper is done. I must admit I watched over and over that segment and still don't know how it tapers down. I understand the settings you made but at this point don't see what in those setttings make the bit drop lower. I guess it has to do with deselect the 'Flat' selection box. I'll just have purchase the bit and run the program to see my own results. Thank you for your time in putting together a good video.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Boondocksmark, I'm glad you enjoyed the pizza peel video! You're correct that the tapering comes from adjusting the settings, and deselecting the 'Flat' box is a key part of that to create a smooth transition. Sometimes seeing it in action really helps, so running the program yourself is a great way to learn. Best of luck with your CNC journey!

[@Sehast]

Just got around to watching this. Lots of good info. There is another way to do that taper without investing in a 150 degree bit. You could use a fluting tool path with a smaller diameter bit. Just draw lines in a raster pattern to accommodate the bit diameter and the taper. Not much more work and avoids the complexity of a 3d model. Also allows you to do much longer tapers or ramps.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Stephen, a 150 degree Vbit is a good idea and you are right, a 3d model does add a lot of complexity to it. I'm happy to see that you can find another way to do the same job. Like they always say, there is more than one way to skin a cat!

[@jamesstuart5997]

Garrett,@@IDCWoodcraft, I really enjoyed the video as well as many others. Like others have mentioned I'm 76 years old and enjoying the CNC as a method of staying sharp. As to the many ways of skinning a cat I had a college professor state, "There's only one best wy to do anything". I thought about that and about the cats and disagreed with him, but after a while it finally dawned on me that while the was in fact more than one way to skin a cat that there was most likely only 'ONE BEST WAY". LOL Thanks for all you do!

[@stacystaton7724]

Great video learned a few things.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Stacy, glad to hear that this one taught you a couple good tips and tricks for your next project brother!

[@ShopDad]

Great info Garrett. I’m new to Vectric and already feeling more confident. Thanks 👍

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Right on Shop Dad, the beginnings of learning any software is always the hardest so I'm glad this cleared some things up for you.

[@sparky494112]

Wow. You are very informative in how you teach this. I look forward to watching many more of your videos, and can’t wait to get started with my new CnC (when it arrives later this summer!)

[@IDCWoodcraft]

sparky494112, so glad to hear you liked this one brother! Happy CNCing.

[@michaelvoit810]

All the videos you havevcrrated have been super helpful keep it up. THANK YOU

[@IDCWoodcraft]

michaelvoit810, you are so welcome my friend.

[@meatyarmy7626]

Great video for basic + vetric. I like the teaching method to. Thank you and fantastic work. 1:23:52

[@IDCWoodcraft]

meatyarmy7626, you are so welcome my friend.

[@dougbeckett1468]

excellent teaching I picked so much! Just one thing I noticed was during the project setup there was mention of setting up the resolution optiions other than that this ROCK's

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Doug, you're so welcome! Yes, the resolution is being adjusted within Vectric to show the amount of detail in the 3D preview.

[@roybaker2184]

Great Video. Learn something new each time I watch your videos. Thank You

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Roy, So nice of you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@andreww6738]

Nice work Garrett! Even though I have done cnc ing for a few years I certainly learned a trick or two from this video...like the taper solution, why didn't I think of that...thumbs up to you for that trick. Also to hide the guide lines, I never knew that corner of the ruler did that, 👏 amazing. Your videos are great beginner or otherwise, your speed to explain is good, at least for me as I can grasp what you are teaching. HAVE A SUNNY and GREAT DAY. Thanks once again. Andrew. P.s thanks for making that tool database available, very handy indeed. Will get that later today.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Andrew, I'm glad I was able to make things easier for you. Those simple tips and tricks are always so handy to have in our toolbelts.

[@edmelzark1069]

Thank you again Garrett !!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

edmelzark, you are so welcome brother!

[@PapaMikesShop]

Really enjoyed your teachine style. Look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

PapaMikesShop-iw8bu, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the teaching style! I appreciate your support and hope you find more videos that inspire you.

[@garrytudor317]

Enjoyed this video learn lot of trick thanks

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Garry, you're welcome I'm glad it was helpful for you!

[@louisdeschamps3430]

Excellent job , Garrett , its in you !

[@IDCWoodcraft]

LouisDeschamps, thanks brother. Im so glad to hear you enjoyed this one.

[@dave012175]

As always Garrett another Grand Tutorial... As you said we would, I learned new techniques and will definitely begin a Pizza Peel as soon as I recieve the bits I just ordered from your store.. Keep up the Great work and take care my friend.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

David, thanks again my friend! I'm glad you liked it and I'm looking forward to seeing your finished pizza peel and getting those bits out to you! Keep up the good work!

[@extremewoodworker]

Thanks Garrett. A well executed tutorial with a lot of tips. For material this large, I have gone to using contact paper with CA glue. It works just as well with less chance of gluing your stock to your spoilboard (DAMHIK). Steve

[@IDCWoodcraft]

ExtremeWoodworker, appreciate the kind words! That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that tip. I'll have to try it out. I agree, no one likes getting CA glue stuck to their stock.

[@StevenPeters-xb4qf]

I love your videos.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Steven, thank you brother! I appreciate that.

[@ralphalameda1381]

Wow Great video Guide lines learn how to snap the the rectangle to the guide line, create new guide lines, fillets didn't know how to use them, After several times trying to use a 60 degree bit for round over giving up and just setup the router table. understanding why my projects are getting tearout. You amazed me so much that I wanted to go start this project now. Great job on doing step by step instruction. I'll need to order a few bits prior to starting How do I order bits from you Again great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

ralph, you're so welcome! I'm glad to be a part of your CNC journey and to help making it a little easier! Be sure to shoot me a photo of your finished product. You can grab those bits over at www.idcwoodcraft.com

[@karlriley1314]

I have CARVECO MAKER and this looks like it will be fun to make.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Karl, that's a great machine. I hope you have great success!

[@laynemimstx]

great job explaining a lot of vectric concepts and ideas. hard to do, but great job as always.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Layne, thank you! There's always so much to talk about with Vetric, I feel like there's something new I figure out everyday!

[@jamespalmer8206]

I learned so much from just this one video. Thank you for taking your time to instruct us. It is very much appreciated.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

James, you are so welcome! It's my pleasure, I truly love what I do and getting to share these awesome projects with you!

[@kevinyoung6689]

Great complete design, tool paths, and producing the pizza peel. I look forward to using gSender with my CNC router when I purchase it.

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Kevin, thanks brother. What CNC router are you looking at? Let me know if I can be of any help.

[@kevinyoung6689]

@@IDCWoodcraft Although I would like a Onefinity CNC, I don't have room. My first I'm looking at is Yorahome Mandrill. And I would like to get the Silverback.

[@kevinyoung6689]

I know the Mandrill is small in size but I don't have a garage or shop to put a CNC machine that's bigger.

[@williammeyers4298]

Learning a lot keep it up

[@IDCWoodcraft]

William, thanks brother. That's the plan!

[@petercrizer6102]

Great instructions, learn something new every time. (that is also fairly universal to other design programs). Consider bundling your router bits by the project, maybe ? Thanks, from Connecticut

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Peter, Great suggestion!
