It is amazing what you can do with a little bit of knowledge. The eagle piece is truly amazing. It's got to be a total satisfaction to look at what you have created.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much.

[@brendanfitzpatrick7399]

yeah, with a little knowledge you can basically print or cut a test page..bravo! sorry but i was hoping for so much more in this video.. I don't have a CNC but even if i did, i wouldn't have much interest in printing ("cutting") a piece of clipart from within the application, all CNC software provide the same examples as a 'test print'.. it would have been 10x more valuable if he used a generic image outside of the clipart to really show how to do something unique . .

[@ndoghouse6853]

@@brendanfitzpatrick7399 Believe me if you just got a machine setup from scratch and did all the wiring etc then you dont give a crap about value or where your test piece came from. You just want to make sure your machine works as intended and with your choices of the many softwares you decided to use to create it. Have you ever printed a test page from a new printer? Well thats all it is. Frankly a 3D eagle in wood beats the hell out of a sheet of paper your gonna throw in the trash anyway.

[@johnparken2607]

With all due respect to Ms Fitzpatrick, your video is exactly what I wanted and what I expected. It is a step that needs to be taken in my learning process. This is all new to me. Kudos to you for taking the time (yours and ours) to clearly explain the steps that you were taking. That will enable me to perform a similar on my computer and CNC as I progress in the process of properly using these powerful and innovative new tools. The pace was certainly not too slow. THANKS so very much.

[@Evocatorum]

@@PawPawsWorkShop If you go back and look at 21:09, you can see that the side on the project isn't flat either because the wood is slightly bowed or because the particle board below isn't level with the rest of the table. It would appear that the particle runner isn't tied down completely or perhaps there's something under it? I can't tell. Either way, thanks for taking the time to make this video for us!

Hi Paw Paw, A couple quick questions… so you did it all in one pass with the 1/8” bn, so it would have been cutting fairly deep. I heard you say 8-10% step-over, so you stepped over somewhere under .0125? And might I ask your feed rate? I’m very much a novice, and as such would have thought that deep a cut would have broken the bit.

Great video, very informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. We have been doing a lot of research to buy our first cnc machine, would you recommend the x carve pro(it will be out in a few months) or the cnc4newbies machine?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

First thank you very much. In today's market there are many great machines. I know only what I have seen in the commercials regarding the XCarve Pro. It is a new unproven platform. I have questioned the Inventables team but I must say that I would go with the proven product and chose one of the cnc4newbies products. They are very solid and I love mine.

[@brandonkrause4333]

i would not recommend the xcarve. i just got one and i wish i would have spent another 1000 and got something a little better. the button head screws it came with for assembly are garbage. i had to re tap the holes for the dust collector brackets. this machine is veeery overpriced. i dont expect the xcarve pro is much different besides being more rigid...

[@zinoorr1056]

Hey paw paw, your work is outstanding. I’m about 12 months from retirement and I want to get into CNC routing for fun and to help with local charities. Question, is there a better computer use for the software than others? Are you using a Mac or PC. I wish I could get training from someone like you! Your work is outstanding.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. I use a pc laptop. To run the CNC does not take a very power computer however, if you are planning on using the same computer to design you will need a more powerful computer. You can get training from me. I have over five hundred videos that brings me into you shop anytime you wish.

[@zinoorr1056]

@@PawPawsWorkShop Thank you, I am a visual & hands on learner. I appreciate all your work. Thank you fro the speedy return. I live in NJ and have not been able to find CNC router training that makes any practical sense for me. I will dig into your work. Thanks again.

[@kommanavikas426]

Its amazing. But how it calculates the depth of an image at different points or else we have to give manually height and depth just like priymid shape each step 1cm height

[@musicmaze640]

Thanks for the great intro to VCarve. Do you have a video that does both a rough and a detail cut? Also, could you have done the cut with Easel instead of UGS? Thanks again!

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

I did not do a rough cut. I only used the detail cut toolpath. The design modification has to be done in VCarve or similar program. You can use easel as the sender and carve it out.

[@musicmaze640]

​@@PawPawsWorkShop I understand that you didn't do a rough cut here. I was just wondering how to do two cuts with UGS. I've done it in Easel, so I guess it's similar. Thanks!

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

It is two separate files that you run separately.

[@dhmphoto]

Thanks for the video. It is really helpful for me to better understand 3D carving. I do have a question. Could this be done with VCarve Desktop instead of the Pro version? I see reference to 2.5D carving versus 3D carving. Is what you showed today 2.5D?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much. Yes, you can do this on VCarve desktop. This is actually 2.5 D but many people call it 3D

[@James01520]

Phil what's the benefit to using the Z-height plate vs. just jogging the bit to the top of the material surface and setting Z that way?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

It is more accurate to use the z plate for consistency. You can use the manual and it will work however you may be off several thousandths. For most projects that may be just fine.

[@CHITUS]

Hi Paw Paw, thank you very much for the great tutorial. As I'm new to that usage of a CNC I might have some beginners's questions. I'm somehow confused about the different heights. Material height is 0.75 inch. After inserting the zero plane the model height (11:00) was shown as 0.593 inch. The shape height was 0.6997 (25:25) and was slightly too big. How are model and shape height linked? Thank you very much, Thomas

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

good question.. i get the one at 25:25 , he just sunk the head down lower in the wood , but the one at 11:00 is a stumper..

[@TonyHall-iw2pz]

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much

[@ThatPain1]

This is a really good tutorial! But one question: Is there a way to use your own created depth maps? (The greyscale picture)

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Yes, you can create your artwork in a software such as Aspire or Fusion 360

[@eitantal726]

If you don't want to buy aspire, You can convert the greyscale to a model with Blender. Export as STL, and import that as a model in VCarve

[@IanStreten]

Very very new to cnc routing. Machine being delivered tomorrow. At present trawling my way through various software tutorial packages. Have found your series very helpful with my quest for the best software product. That is Inventables Easel. Rather excitedly saw your post of the Eagles head but very disappointed that software was Vectric Vcarve. As a mere Hobbyist no way can I afford to buy the Vectric product. So is there anything available within Easel that can create a similar result? Thank you.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The XCarve is capable of carving this type of design. You will however need other software to create or modify. This eagle is part of the package that comes with the Vectric VCarve software.

[@melodywarman7092]

Very nice project and nicely done. But if i want to put a circular cutout in a board how would I do it? I have the basic vcarve and not the vcarve pro.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Just put a separate toolpath on the outside and carve it out with a profile toolpath

[@mikeprestigiacomo5420]

Great project! one question I am a newbie and this may be a dumb question but here goes. Can you take that file you just created and use it in mach3 on another machine without a ton of work?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Mach3 runs on a difference system. I believe that once you do the design work you could save it with the correct post processor and it would work. I do not have Mach3 but there are numerous Mach3 post processors in the listing in VCarve .

[@mikeprestigiacomo5420]

Thank you for your reply

[@cruftcreator]

Great video. Is it possible to do 3d carves in easel?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

the design will need to be done in another software such as VCarve or Aspire, save the gcode and you can send it to the XCarve

[@thomgwayi8138]

Great

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thanks

[@jimgranfor3856]

I enjoyed the video. The minor problem with online tutorials is the video is never clear. I totally lost how you connected the vectric lines before going to g file.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

I’m not sure what you are asking. Vectric lines? After selecting the bit and creating the toolpath you just save the toolpath and the file so that you can pull up the file at a letter time. Then save the gcode and carve. Yes, you do need to use the correct post processor. I can’t tell you which one to use due to the vast different types of machines and controllers

[@chuckscott4283]

Thanks very much for the great tutorial... am considering VCarve Pro purchase for my new XCarve Pro and wondering if you had any compatibility issues with the software and your machine? T

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

No, I have never had any compatibility issues. I use easel as a stand alone solution. I also use easel and UGS together. In addition I use Inkscape and then bring images into easel. All work with no issues. I do the exact same thing with VCarve Pro. Do you have specific concerns?

[@chuckscott4283]

@@PawPawsWorkShop No concerns just wondering about compatibility with Inventables products. Just purchased a XCarve Pro and noticed you've got a lot of experience with their products. Appreciate your work and tutorials as I'm on a steep learning curve and soaking it all in. Easel looks to be a good product, but from what I can tell does not have 3D functionality as VCarve Pro.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Easel is good and is improving all the time. You are correct about the 3D function. You need VCarve Desktop, Aspire or Fusion 360. VCarve Desktop allows you to alter the 3D but not create the STL files

Start with VCarve Desktop. That is the entry level software

Hello. I am a relatively new user and have gotten pretty decent at easel pro (although not even close to your level) and would like to venture out a little. Could you tell me what what kind of file that eagle this would be? .stl .dxf or any of the zillion types of extensions. I am totally confused abut the file extensions. I thought the .stl was a 3d printer file. I don't have and cannot afford v-carve pro. I have easel pro. Is there any place I can go to get something like the eagle for free? Thanks.

This eagle is one of the free files in the VCarve from Vectric. When you make your purchase, there is a wide range of different files that you can download as well along with many others that you can purchase. You can start with VCarve desktop with is the least expensive option and later add the pro. You only pay the difference. With the desktop you will get the files.

Does lightburn work for cnc and laser or just for laser only ?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Lightburn is designed for lasers. If you have a laser attached to the CNC then you most likely can control the laser with Lightburn

How would you go about sanding it?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

If you use a very sharp bit you really do not need to sand. A little hand sanding may be needed but that’s it

I’m not gone yet. Hopefully I got a few more years

Whats the name of the program to make the images 3D ready for the CNC?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

This is Vectric VCarve Pro. The desktop version will do the same
