2 Sided Machining - Leaf Bowl - Practical 

Thank you we do to!

Thanks!

with CNC?

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comments Jeny, glad you are enjoying the software!

Also, far too bloody expensive! Only commercial operators can afford this 'ware. Hobbyists... no chance. Bearing in mind this is supposed to sell the software, it's noticable by it's invisibility. No mention of how to program the 'flip', or how to locate position of the dowels in the spoilboard. Part of her early explanation is so muffled, it's incomprehensible. Pretty bad show for such a good app.

RobSmathome they counterbalance the weight of the moving parts of the z axis so the z motor is less likely to miss steps and won't run as hot as it would otherwise.

Hi Dan, thank you for your kind comments and that's great news I bet you are ever so excited!! We don't actually have the file for this model available however I did a series of tutorials making bowls and the leaf bowl is fairly similar to this one here. We don't provide the gcode, just the file for you to save out in the Post Processor you require. The file can be downloaded from your V&Co account, I hope this helps :)

Vectric Ltd thank you. Keep up the great work it really helps me understand more about CNC wood working.

@@danpayne9735 No Problem, we're glad it's working for you :)

If you go to vectric.com and search through the menus there are plenty of tutorials to take you from absolute beginner to well trained. They are also all on RU-vid as far as I know too. I’ve been learning from these and they are exceptionally well done and easy to follow along with and it doesn’t take long to get the hang of even the more exacting parts of the program. A fair learning curve but worth the climb.

Hey Viorel, If you take a look at these videos hopefully that should help answer you questions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J7LyyO6svKo.html Thanks :)

@@vectric I watched yout video but it didn't answer my simple question....

@@ViorelStolea Hi Viorel, The X0 Y0 for both sides is set to the lower left hand corner (on the top side it would have been roughly at the lower left hand corner of the material, and for the bottom side any where on the spoil board (ensuring there is space for the part to flip over)) The Z0 for the top side is set to the top of the material block and the Z0 for the bottom is set to the Material Surface (referencing from the same face) I hope this answers your question :)

@@vectric Thank you. So you used a point on the stock, not a point of a feature you already machined. Got it!

Here is a link on our website to the tutorial for the leaf bowl and the files: www.vectric.com/vectric-community/free-projects/tips-and-tricks/Makingaleafbowl Hope this helps! Thanks

Hi there we do have this tutorial of creating it in the software: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUQKJ1xPdEs.html hope this helps!

Hello Dan... thanks for the questions. The time it takes all depends on your CNC and the tools you plan to use... also the material. Making this in "pine" would take less time then in "maple". The CNC we used in this video is a ShopBot, and you can inquire with them on pricing. Hope that helps.

Thank you!

She's not the only one. I've checked out two other CNC channels and they all neglect to talk about the non-trivial exercise of how to organize the toolpaths for the pins.

Hi there this is a tutorial on how to create the leaf bowl in the software: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUQKJ1xPdEs.html hope this helps! Thanks

Thanks!
