CNC Woodworking Tutorials for Beginners-06
In this video, I explain the V-carve inlay method I utilize in CNC woodworking by analyzing easy to understand diagrams to reinforce your understanding. Vectric software is then used to create the 2D vectors and toolpaths needed to machine the inlay design for the wall art shown in the beginning of the video. I’ve seen many explanations in other videos of why specific toolpath settings are used in CNC inlay design, but I’ve always had a difficult time truly understanding the geometry behind why the settings work. Much time and effort went into creating this video in the hopes that my viewers will truly comprehend the method behind the madness. Once you understand the geometry, you should be able to create awesome wooden CNC inlay projects by using the settings I use in this video, or tweaking the settings when necessary and having full confidence that the results will be fantastic. Please support my efforts by commenting, asking questions, and letting me know your thoughts. I also ask that you subscribe to my channel, give my videos a thumbs up if you like them, and click the notification bell so you’ll be notified when each new video I produce becomes available.
