Just the video I was looking for as a newbie to the CNC. Great information, thank you!

@vectric 2 года назад

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind comment Tommy!

I have only started carving the last 2 months and have learned so much from mainly 3 people online, because they explain in layman terms, and take the time to explain why they do it that way, I love all your videos to date that I have watched as I purchased Vectric Desktop, fantastic program. watching this has explained to me all the things I wanted to know about V carving, now to learn all about feed rates and plunge rates, do you have a video on that? Thanks for any help 😁😁

@vectric 2 года назад

Hello Warren... thanks for the comment and I am glad to find the videos helpful. Don't forget the Vectric Forum with a very helpful community that is always willing to help out. To your question about feeds and speeds, this is tricky because there is so much to consider - material, quality of the tool, CNC build, the time you want to have your project on the CNC, and the list goes on. I always say that the tool manufacturer should have a resource for you, but this is only a base... and you will need to adjust accordingly. It is a bit of a trial and (hopefully not too much) error sort of process. If you can't find a resource from the manufacturer, then the Forum community may help.

Thanks for this informative video. I downloaded the trial copy of Cut2D desktop to practice on while I wait for my Longmill CNC to arrive. As I'm following along I do not have a Vcarve Engraving toolpath in the toolpath selections. Is this only available with the paid edition?

@vectric 2 года назад

Hi Tim, for the VCarve Engraving you will need the Aspire, VCarve Pro or VCarve Desktop free trial. Here is the link to the free trial comparisons and where you can download them. Hope this helps, thanks!

@manuelmoriggl5555 4 месяца назад

hi it would be great if you could change the raster angle, because if you go against the grain it gives a bad surface on soft woods !

@vectric 4 месяца назад

Thanks for your comment @manuelmoriggl5555 - We'll be sure to pass your comment on to the development team for consideration. Have a great day.

@abrahamvazquez5432 2 года назад

Besides vetric what else’s should I download to move the cnc I have a shapeoko

@vectric 2 года назад

Hello Abraham... you can use the "VTransfer" if you like. It is included with your Vectric software. If you have not installed it you can find it in your Program Files folder - VTransfer_Setup.exe

@bubba6945 2 года назад

Ill try this again but I get errors when I use a text like the welcome font demo where the vectors cross one another.

@vectric Год назад

Hello Brian... it might be worth trying a different font... and if that does not sort it out please send your question and file to Support@Vectric.com and they should be able to help.

@p8ntblr1 6 месяцев назад

Does the Vcarve tool path take into account the pass depth of the bit used? If not what is the best way to control how pass depth of the toolpath? Especially for smaller, more delicate bits

@vectric 6 месяцев назад

Hi there, you can edit this in the tool database under 'Cutting Parameters' by changing the 'Pass Depth', hope this helps. Thanks!

@WaterN2WineCreations 7 месяцев назад

I created a sloped section in my project using the molding tool path. Can I use the project onto 3D model to vcarve text onto that slope?

@vectric 7 месяцев назад

You sure can... at the bottom of the VCarving Toopath form there is a option to " Project onto 3D Surface"... that should do the trick.

@user-iv5wr3co3h 6 месяцев назад

the number from the dimension that goes into the collet where I write it

@vectric 5 месяцев назад

Hello... This sounds like a question for support@vectric.com where they can have a closer look at your situation.

@lukebrown6913 Год назад

Can't believe for such a long video you don't cover climb vs conventional and plunge angle!!!

@vectric Год назад

Hello Luke... thanks for the comment. Choosing climb vs convential is soly the direction of cut, and this all depends on the material you are cutting into. Some people like to run their VCarving once in one direction and once in the other to be sure it is clean... but that is really upto the material and if it has grain or not. "Plunge Angle", I'm thinking you are refering to "Ramp and Plunge Moves"? In most cases this is only used for the clearence cutter and it helps to take the load off your tool for deep cuts. From our Help File "The cutter can be ramped over a distance into the pocket instead of plunging vertically. This approach reduces heat build-up that damages the cutter and also reduces the load on the spindle and z axis bearings." I do hope that helps...

@lukebrown6913 Год назад

@@vectric Hi, thanks for your reply, trying to mill copper sheet and looking everywhere for guidance re tool path settings. I'm using a 1.5mm endmill to cut an eventual depth of 3mm

@redherring5532 2 года назад

What am I missing here, I just want to draw one line and have the bit follow that vector at 8th of an inch deep, I've literally been down the whole weekend trying to make a bowl bit go an 8th of an inch deep along a vector. Why isnt this in the workflow? How come it MUST be a closed vector and how come we cant identify certain vectors that we may just plain want to follow along, very counterproductive workflow on this

@vectric 2 года назад

Hello John... Thanks for the comment/question. I think the toolpath stragity you are looking for is not the VCarve stragity but the Profile stragity. Have a look at that... and see what you think.

@redherring5532 2 года назад

@@vectric yes I went down a rabbit hole to get a firm grip on the way I go about my workflow, admittedly annoying but as I'm getting a firm grasp on it I am seeing just how powerful this software is and frankly I love it

@jascfdrac Месяц назад

So, why nobody explain how to run the g-code on a CNC? Everybody explain how to create the 3d object.

@vectric Месяц назад

Hello... The process of learning the controller software for your CNC is not something we offer seeing as we do not make it. If you contact your CNC manufacturer, they will be happy to help.

@jascfdrac Месяц назад

@@vectric I just made my CNC. I’m trying softwares before I make the decision to buy one. I can use full functionality on Fusion 360. Your trial is very limited and I will not invest more time because you don’t let me test accordingly. Thanks.

@mattivirta 10 месяцев назад

all other have FREE version to hobby users, when vetric share full free version hobby user because have too expensive buy this software hobby garage. ower price have lot. mach 3 have FREE today vetric need do too FREE version. maybe not support servo or other expensive system only cheap paraller port machine what hobby user use.
