Creating a Strat Guitar Body in Vectric Aspire Part 1

Музыка

__ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE __
On this first in a multi-part series, we create a CNC design file for a Stratocaster style guitar body. We are using Vectric Aspire to create the design file before we set our tool paths. This is a two sided design. We will use freely available PDF files for the design.

    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.

    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

    You're absolutely correct and it'd be more accurate. At the time I didn't know about that feature. Good observation.

    @@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.

    I don’t have the toggle top/bottom option on aspire. Any other ways to edit the back of the guitar?

    I would just make two separate files. One for top one for back. Make sure material is the exact same dimensions then center the body both X and Y.

    Did you set it to two sided in the job setup? It's not there if you leave it at one sided.

    Yes, definitely set up your job as 2 sided.
