Thanks. I picked up some things I didn't know, about layers and arrays and spirals.. I set mine up in individual rows/files so they can be grouped on any width wood I have laying around. The best thing I learned is to zero off the machine surface, not the work surface, so not to mark your spoil board. I had no idea it worked that way. Note: @ about 25:03 you say "1.8" inch and I'm sure you meant .18 inch as shown in the video.

@IDCWoodcraft 6 месяцев назад

PaulSchuster-yj4zb, glad to hear that this one helped you out so much my friend. As for the part at 25:03, you are 100% right, I meant to say 0.18"

I don't have much hair left and trying to figure this out, well, I would have probably pulled out the rest. But with this walk through I can do it. Not only a big thumbs up on video but thumbs up to you. Thank you, stay healthy and please keep making videos. Your student, Russ

Just got my new CNC running yesterday and was needing help with it. I found your channel and it helped me make my slots for my spoil board. I am having a problem with my holes not lining up. I have the rows set perfect in V carve on where I want them and use the touch plate for the lower left corner but it seem to go past where I want the row by 4-5 mm. Not sure what the problem is. Any ideas?

I can't get/find ramp and spiral cuts in 12.007 version. How do you get it to come up?

@IDCWoodcraft 3 месяца назад

JD-nq4vb, In version 12.007, the ramp and spiral cuts feature might be under a different name or location. I recommend reaching out to Vectric directly for this one. Here's the link to their contact page →www.vectric.com/support. They should be able to give you a little more guidance than I can here.

@BrianW2979 Год назад

Very helpful video, I followed you clearly until laying out the tool path for the final outer profile cut. I would have thought that the start cut height for the outer profile of the clamp would have been the material thickness. In the video I believe you showed it as 0, but I thought that 0 was table top not material top. Did I miss something, or just not quite understand?

@IDCWoodcraft Год назад

Brian, apologies on the confusion on that one brother. When you are setting up your toolpaths, the software considers the top of your project surface as its internal coordinate reference plane. Basically, it doesn't matter if you set up your project to have the Z zero to be the topmost surface of your project or the surface of your spoilboard, you will set up the toolpaths the exact same way for either case.

@michaeldennis7857 2 года назад

Garrett just started the trial v carve you said it took you awhile to do the clamps. Still have a hard time following you i have 5 months until i get my onefinity. So hopefully i can somewhat learn a little something before then. I only have laptop. You be clicking on stuff. That. I cant find things delete without clicking on it then right . the box comes up that delete comes up is a easier way to delete i have to play you 50 times just to get a slot. And anything i haven't made it past the second layer you said click on this but you forget to say what you clicked . so i m lost i going to buy the program from etsy. But I'm going to keep trying and going to watch youtube. To use to the vcarve program. Hate to spend a bunch money i don't really have.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hi Michael. I apologize for things I miss that you don't get. I tried to cover all the bases as best as I can. I have an entire series of videos that are step by step. You might want to download the PDF that I've created with all the videos on the channel. They will walk you through the correct process to learn this stuff.

@bitsurfer0101 Год назад

I think I would've called the Profile 1 toolpath as Slots or something similar to make it clearer that you need to start at a 0.375" depth.

If using a 3018 pro cnc and I buy your clamps would I need to change speeds and passes and bit size. Thanks

When using 3d tabs the bit will not stop, raise up, cut over, plunge down, and continue the cut. The 3d tabs ramp on the up and down movements and do not stop the movement.

You're right. I keep forgetting to set it for 3D tabs and tell people to use them instead. Thanks for reminding me.

Hi John, that is a great question. Try double checking your toolpaths and making sure they use the right tool. You could also try and save the gCode files individually to run on your CNC.

I have been a CNC and Vectric user for a while and have no need for more clamps but after watching many of your videos I realize that even though “clamps” is the main topic inside there will be information that I can use on other projects. And was I correct, as in other videos of yours there were so many other helpful hints. Thank you One day I’ll get the courage to set up a one on one Just one more thought-if you were to use a 3/16EM for the perimeter cutout you could have gotten that one more row of clamps. I use the 3/16EM for cutouts a lot on .75 material. Be Safe

We've just got out Shapeoko a few days ago so we are running Carbide Create 7. Is this the reason we didn't receive or can't open tool path with G codes? Thank you in advance.

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Hi Lyle. You probably did not account for the material being thinner that what was set in the software. If you set .75 and material actual is .7, and set start depth from top, then the bit will cut into board. Happened to me too...many times, until I learned to ALWAYS measure the material first.

You'll develop some intuition over time and practice and may choose to change some numbers around. I changed around mine for this project. And I used a 1/4" downcut endmill for these.

@stewartfry5094 3 года назад

Brilliant. Teaching a variety of new techniques in the same video and all clear and understandable (and I can remember them as well).

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Thanks Stewart. I try to throw in several techniques whenever I make a video.

Great tutorial. I was able to set up the project in VCarve Desktop with no issues. It took me a hot minute to realize that Desktop doesn't have the spiral ramping option or the 3-D tabs...but in any event once I set up the project on the machine, zeroed it out and set the Z (to the bed & not the top of the piece..SMH) it cut like buttah. I only made 4 sets just to test it out as it was my first cut other than leveling the spoil board and cutting in my grids. Thanks again. I have much to learn but am psyched at my progress and all thanks to you and your tutorials Garrett.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Yay Martha. I forgot to mention in the email that is was very cool to see the clamps made!

@toddholton6169 Год назад

Watched your video and followed along as I created the file in V Carve Pro. I've watched tons of videos over several years of learning how to use V Carve and my CNC. I have got to say for a Knuckle Dragger like me, You vids are the best i've come across. Keep up the good work and Thank You for your Service. I'm a Veteran and appreciate your contribution.

Hi again OKI! We are always learning, my friend.

@danneil7806 Год назад

Clamps !!!! Oh Boy !!! Did my first test cut today. Now gonna try this.....

@IDCWoodcraft Год назад

Dan, let me know how they turn out brother!

@mr.Bruutt 3 года назад

Very helpfull again :) i definatly will try and make some clamps myself.

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Do it Bruutt. It is very cool to do.

@bubba6945 2 года назад

seems easy enough lol

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Brian, give it a shot brother!

@bubba6945 2 года назад

Garret in 6 more weeks I can. stilling waiting on my backordered machine to arrive. Creating the file as you have show us made it pretty simple to design for sure. I have a question about about designs for cast acrylic and glass etching. its about node editing. Do you really need to edit nodes since we will be using a spring loaded diamond drag bit and a 1/16th and 1/8th endmill or is that mainly when you will use a end mill to profile cut around a shape say as a bitmap image? In need ofsome clarity on that since I can run a test right now on cnc router. If you could please Thanks

@MrRdjhebs Год назад

Yet another amazing video. I am glad that I discovered your videos. I'm learning so much while I'm waiting for my CNC machine to arrive.

@IDCWoodcraft Год назад

Robert, happy to have you here brother! Keep learning everything you can while you wait for your machine. You got this!

@michaelmorrissey765 3 года назад

Can’t have enough clamps, will be cutting these. How about cam clamps next? The ones I’ve found suck. Great video.

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Oh, oh...cam clamps! YES, I'll do that one very soon. Thanks for reminding me.

@sdereis 3 года назад

I am enjoying your videos so much. I understand what you say so much better than most videos I have watched. I'm a visual learning person. Do you have an instruction for preparing the spoil boards? Thank you again, I am so ready to get started with my CNC

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Hi SD. I do have a video about spoilboards. Click here:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--NsPZD0az5Y.html

@IDCWoodcraft 6 месяцев назад

Chuck, right on brother! It's a fun project I'm looking forward to hearing how they turn out!

@Grumpyoldtwit 8 месяцев назад

Hey Garrett, when I select a rectangle, then choose the ‘Draw Rectangle’ button, I don’t get the ‘Apply’ option, just ‘Create’. So instead of editing the existing shape, it drops a new one in.

@Grumpyoldtwit 8 месяцев назад

Ahhh. I’ve worked it out. With V11.5, I need to select the shape and press ‘shift’ while selecting ‘Draw Rectangle’.

@IDCWoodcraft 8 месяцев назад

grumpyoldwit, so glad to hear you got it all sorted out brother! Happy CNCing.

@jefferytwilliams 3 года назад

Nice to see a machinist doing this you have your clamps parallel to table when clamping (Old machinist pet peeve)👍

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Ya' know Jeff, you are so right. That flat contact is so important.

@jigsey. 3 года назад

excellent Garret just mae my first purchase from your etsy :-)

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Hey Jig. Awesome. Make them clamps my friend and send me a pictue!

@larrysaddler1656 2 года назад

Garret One thing to bring up with this video make sure that when you cut the camps you are going with the grain if you are not using plywood. The clamps will snap if cut across the grain

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hey Larry. I thought I covered that. Thanks for pointing it out. I''ll add it to the comments in the video

@mpbrowzer 3 года назад

Looking to buy your clamp setup on Etsy but can’t find it. Do you have a link?

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Hi MP! I am working on that now. It'll be available tomorrow. I'll send a message through here with a link when it's up.

@jeffjaekel2558 2 года назад

This is a really great video! I have watched hours of your videos trying to educate myself on how to design in Vcarve and make "stuff"! I just finished making my spoil board and surfacing it. Which was an education all in itself! And so I went back to this video on how to make clamps. Garrett, I am glad you took the time and all your takes to make this video. There is an encyclopedia of information in this video that goes way beyond making clamps! Thank you again for doing all you do to teach people about CNC design and builds!!!! It has sure made my adventure into CNC so much more enjoyable and reduced the learning curve and frustration levels considerably!!!

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Jeff, those initial projects are the hardest but it sounds like you have the basics down for sure. The clamps are just the start, I'm excited to see what you make next!

@creativewooduk 2 года назад

Getting my head into the design side of things and just a simple thing to some is a massive step to others we can all just by designs and load and go the CAD side is another world one i am just stepping into and videos like this help me and many others to have our light bulb moments thank you

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Mick, I promise the designing will get easier with time and practice. We all have started out as newbies my friend! You're so welcome, I live for giving people those light bulb moments and making things a little less frustrating while on the learning curve! Keep up the good work!

@alex83h 3 года назад

Great instructions. I have been thinking about making some clamps for awhile now. Now I know how. Thanks

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Hi Alex. Maybe this video was the hint to get at making them... I know I was overdue for making mine

@warreng3142 2 года назад

Another great video, as I am now watching your whole playlist 😁 I have saved a lot of your videos to back over when I have more time. I have just bought this program from Etsy and intend to run it soon, but I am going to use 19mm Marine ply as I have a ton of it laying around, hey if it works great, if not then I will buy some pine. I will be using metric tools so hope it still works the same or I will edit the tooling in the program to suit.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hi Warren. Ply works gread for this. You might want this PDF download. It is all the videos I've created and they are sorted. Here's the download link → bit.ly/3mLHGfI

@georgemoseley2113 3 года назад

Thanks for another great video! Do you have any other style clamps that you use? I just recently got the t-track add-on for my Shapeoko XXL. The clamps are pretty short that come with it because the tracks are so far apart. I created an L bracket for the lower left corner of my CNC, that way I am always at 0,0 when putting stock on the CNC. Are there other shapes for clamps that you have thought of?

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Hi George. I will be doing a cam-lock clamp video soon.

@todpevy8952 3 года назад

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Thanks Dennis. Ya' know, it takes a ton of time to do these, but shares like this make it all worth it for sure!!!

@seansysig 2 года назад

Great video and tips! I’m a cnc newbie and with a Yora 3018Pro. I designed my clamps in Fusion360 and carved them out with an 1/8” compression bit and the spiral ramp really makes a huge difference with a small router with the small diameter bit. Thanks

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Glad this one helped Sean. Happy to hear that your 3018 is up and running!

@gordongroves6674 2 года назад

A very useful design and you made it simple to follow - thanks!

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Gordon, glad you liked the clamps brother! Happy to hear that the explanation was easy to follow.

@ShopDad 2 года назад

Thanks Garrett. Just picked up a used CNC and worked through this practical tutorial in Vcarve. Very helpful in learning the software and process. I expanded the relief pocket 1/4” to remove the curved edges and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the strong content.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Shop Dad, I am happy to hear that this video helped you. Keep up the good work learning CNC brother!

@2008elino 3 года назад

I am still waiting on my CNC router. When do , man you will be my teacher. Thank your for your time and effort.

@IDCWoodcraft 3 года назад

Hi Maunza! I'm excited for you and wishing that router would arrive now! when is it supposed to get there?

@paulleonard2211 2 года назад

Real nice clamps. You explained the process really good. I just started with my onefinity and VCarve Desktop in the last two weeks. It's time to put you great selection of bits to work. Thanks Paul.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hey Paul. I'm ready to see what you make!!!
