How to Make Chamfered Edges with a CNC Router using VCarve Pro 

I'm about 10 months behind you on the CNC purchase. Just came across your channel today and am really impressed with it. I just got the VCarve Pro and have been watching the tutorials that come with it. I must say yours are much easier to follow and don't put me to sleep! Probably the good ol southern accent!!! I'm also very impressed with your other wood working projects!!! Thank you!!!!

0.100" or .1" = One Hundred Thousandths of an Inch. 0.05 = Fifty Thousandths of an Inch. 0.001 = One Thousandth of an Inch. 0.0001 = One Ten Thousandth of an Inch (or One Tenth of One Thousandth of an Inch), but referred to as just Tenths by machinist. Other than that, Great video. Very informative and to the point without a bloviating!! Looking forward to watching more.

I've been struggling to figure this out all yesterday and today. Thank you for your help 🙂

Thanks, nice video. I am a newbie to cnc and found this to be insightful without being filled with super basic info that tends to just clutter up some instructional videos.

Great video! I learned a lot from it, but just FYI when you chamfered the letters your first pass was .100, which is point 100 which is close to an 1/8 of an inch chamfer. When you did the chamfer the second pass, you did it .050, which is .zero five zero, which is half of what you did the first time. The first was called (.100) 100 thousands of an inch, the second was 50 thousands of an inch. This is machine shop talk. Just thought you would like to know. To the right of the (.) period is tens, hundreds and then thousands. Every time you want to speak of the measurement it is ALWAYS spoken of in thousands of an inch. So .050 is 50 thousands of an inch. .100 is 100 thousands of an inch. .001 is 1 thousands of an inch which is about a third of the thickness of a strand of hair. Thank, FYI, Hope this helps as your video did me.

Thank you very much Steve. greetings and love from Germany.

Thanks Steve, appreciate the time and effort on these videos. It will help with a lot of things down the road, plus something to look back on if anyone has any questions.

Loved it. Can we make the inside corners sharp too instead of rounded?

Appreciate this. Simple and to the point.

Thank you! I'll be trying this soon.

Beautiful, thanks for the tutorial

Great video! I really like that look. Thanks for taking the time to create the video!

Explained quite well. Subbed and liked. Very nice pace in your delivery as well. 👍

heck yeah thank you very much for this video ,exactly what i needed to know.

profile cut on the line to the depth you want with 90 deg bit does the same thing

Very nice explanation and demonstration. I expect to use chamfers on many projects.

Thanks... just what I needed.

I believe sharp inside corners and outside letters champer can be done with a flat bottom VCarve.

Why do you use the chamfer tool path? Just use the profile tool path and go on the line and go down the amount that you want to go. It is the same result.

Thanks. Very helpful.

Learned something new. Great work

Great video. Fyi, .1 is one hundred thousand of an inch. .05 is fifty thousands of an inch

That’s pretty neat!!!

very helpful !!

Thank you so much

Great video. Helped reinforce what I was already working on. I am curious though as to how this process correlates to using the Chamfer gadget. Are the redundant?

Great Video - Thank You How to make the inside corners sharp?

Thanks

Great job. Any way to get the inside corners sharp??

Thanks for making this vid. I have a question, when actually making the cuts, would you do the profile cut, remove the waste material, and then do the chamfer cut for the outside perimeter?

Subscribed!

i have an older version of the software. 9.5. How would i be able to do a chamfered edge without the toolpath option ?
