Hello Jayce, this is Adriano from Brazil! I built a router CNC by my self and I'm planing to build my onw guitar. I was looking for information to learn how creating my on guitar and didn't find anyone in Brazil, then I found your channel. I would like to thank you to share your knowledged!! Thank you so much!
Very cool. I don’t have a CNC yet and still working overseas in the sandbox, retiring next year. Want to build my own Strat but left hand version. Maybe that’s available as an option in the software or in the pdf download you mentioned. One thing I’d like to do is use a maple binding on the top as post off the round off. Might be something in the software for that. Thanks for the videos.
making left handed is super easy, just select everything and mirror it horizontal. I haven't done a binding channel yet, but I'm guessing that would be pretty easy too.
Also, I have a General CNC 40-915x machine. I'm using VCarve 10.5 Desktop. The only way I can save the toolpaths is as a .nc file. How do I make these run on the machine? I'm confused on how to get the files into a type that can be read by the machine.
when you were setting the distance of your drill holes, is there a reason you couldn't just mirror the first one about the job center. then you wouldn't have to do all the calculations. or did I miss something? Thanks Greg
@@JayceAllanGuitar Jayce, I have another observation, and I don't mean any of this as criticism, as I don't know everything and I'm always learning from others. I appreciate the videos and I thank you for posting them. When you're in material setup while setting up your 3D roughing. I've found that it's a good idea to always set the gap above model to at least .01. It doesn't matter in the case of the guitar body because you're only roughing and finishing the edge, and there is not much detail in your model. However, if your 3D model goes across the whole surface, and it is detailed, and if there are any variations in the surface ( like a small low spot), your bit will not touch and you may miss the detail. how's that for a run on sentence? Anyway just trying to pass a tip on. Good luck and keep the videos coming.
