Practical CNC - Using Boolean Operations in Carbide Create

[@daveultsch8476]

Clear and concise! I'm new to Carbide Create, and so far, this video is far better than the videos produced by Carbide Create. They leave out many little but important keystrokes and the logic to go with them.

[@phillypauly]

very nice explanation - and real world example was even better

[@davidrowe1254]

Finally someone who knows "How" to teach. Very helpful, thank you Subscribed and thumbs up and shared

[@HouseDoctorRay]

Excellent! Perfect pace. New subscriber.

[@nathanduval7202]

Awesome! I'm new to Carbide Create so simple videos like this are helpful!

[@chadcarter2026]

best explanation on this topic. THANK YOU

[@maxcooper9215]

Thanks a ton for this video. Right on point, perfect speed for the complete novice like me (never used a CNC in my life). Keep the good work.

[@joshuabray37]

Thanks! This is JUST what I needed. I am building a little box to hold my end mills and wanted to add a little round area for magnets. This will make that really easy.

[@MakerDan55]

Master teacher! Thanks.

[@kenbrown7334]

This was exceptionally helpful, thank you. I appreciate that you described each of your steps and didn't rush through the process.

Thanks!

I agree with BoscoBob, some of those videos are way too fast for some of us older newbies. Thank you for your great video and please continue to educate us.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Very helpful and gave me a different way to think when using CC.

[@CBM16668]

WOW…..What a HUGE help. THANK YOU so much!!!

[@konakma]

You are really good at explaining and educating. Please do more simple illustrations. For us novice, it really helps. Thank you

[@HugoHugunin]

PERFECT timing! Struggled with a design and now I should be able to knock it out without problems. Great video. I appreciate that you move slowly enough through the steps to actually follow what you are doing. Too many videos go so fast that I find them impossible to emulate.

[@see-n-c6606]

Glad it helped!

[@davidcochran934]

Great explanation. Glad I found this video. I have been trying to do a push stick using Carbide. Still having some figuring out but this definitely helps.

[@JkCanvas]

Thank you for sharing this and answering my what do I do next question.

[@awokendragon8048]

Well done. Very helpful.

[@StephensCustomModels]

This was very helpful and well explained. Thank you.

[@craigrozelle2669]

Thank you for creating this video. It saved me a whole lot of time trying to figure this out myself!

[@see-n-c6606]

Glad it helped!

[@andreww6738]

Wow ! Just like Bob said, I actually had this exact issue today, I'm already bald, and now I have less hair. I actually was designing a tablesaw pushstick sort of speak. I saw on another site a triangle with notches, or steps as the catch, that was easy, what I wanted to do was pocket the inner face with rounded inside corners. I didn't do it the way you described...which is way, way better. I first drew a circle the size I wanted and layed it over the drawing and then traced the inner part of that circle with the "Node" tool, then erased the original circle leaving my traced section in place and then attached each side to the three circles using the "Node" tool. Well, that was my long way around the block. Thanks once again for using your excellent teaching abilities to help. Andrew

Thank you for taking the time and not only explaining but showing me how you created this shape for me. I fought this for a while on CC and inkscape but nothing would merge or align. but as you showed creating the separate box and cutting the space away then joining really opened my eye to a whole new world of options! again thank you!

[@see-n-c6606]

Glad it helped!

[@cvthomas100]

Brilliant, a nice and simple explanation

[@robertwelch5584]

Excellent video and yes I was having the same problem. Guess I'll have to take back all the bad things I said about Carbide Create and how they should have included more Boolean tools!

[@jdeack]

Great explanation.

[@Islandson96743]

Awesome as always!

[@JANDLWOODWORKING]

wonderful video!!!

[@beauxtx1959]

Most excellent!

[@henryacosta3126]

Thanks for explaining it in a way that dumb people like myself could understand

[@94ultra]

Thank you!

[@xpom63]

Спасибо за урок, лайк и подписка.

[@munkiestyle1]

Great video! I feel like I have the power of 10 CNC noobs now!

[@russellschulz3338]

Outstanding explanation and clearly understood. Great job! If you have the opportunity to do so can you please do a walkthrough using Carbide Create Pro to do 3d carves and grayscale 3d. Thanks!

[@resorter66]

I am following your videos and they are great. I was wondering if you could show in a video how to design and set up toolpaths to cut vertically . I know that the XXLShapeoko will extend past the front of the machine far enough to cut 3/4" thick wood. I have a design for a vice to hold the wood secure past the front of the machine. Just not sure how to create the file. I am looking to build boxes that are .5 thick 5 inches wide and 9 inches tall. Thanks Jeff Peters

[@see-n-c6606]

It's not on my near-term list of things to cover because it requires some setup that I haven't done, but I'll keep it in mind for sure.

[@stuartbishop9437]

Hi how would I contour the outside a letter e.g. B R then pocket throw the middle of the B R thank you stuart

[@see-n-c6606]

Pocket first :)

[@alesio2111]

Thank you! But could you tell me please, how can I select two objects, because I tried hold ctrl button and then select another object but I can't :((please help me🙏

[@see-n-c6606]

Try holding shift when selecting the second shape

[@alesio2111]

@@see-n-c6606 👍thank you

[@botoepfer546]

so are you saying Illustrator is easier , I have to cut a part much like your example but lines joining the curves are not horizontal and vertical

[@see-n-c6606]

I'd say it's more powerful, but it cost money. Inkscape is almost as good given it's free. They're simply dedicated drawing tools so they're going to have more drawing features.
