I was brand new to using a router and Aspire 1 year ago. This was my first test project and it turned out alright but my wood sucked and chipped. I also didn't understand all the different bits, feeds and speeds. However it did inspire me to stick with it and to get a job at sign company to keep learning. I now run their router full time. Came across this video again and just wanted to say thank you. Even though its just a simple tutorial cutting a card into wood it technically changed my life and career path.

Super....Simple explanation. Thank you.

I use V-carve pro….coincidentally a few weeks ago I had a similar job come in where the customer wanted a Tarot card reproduced in end grain sycamore ( which I glued up from staves ). I ran the multicolour Tarot through Photoshop to create a monochrome copy and saved as a bitmap. Then the usual…..in Vcarve pro - load bitmap adjust sliders etc to create a perfect vector image…..outcome superb….no probs. I did use a 3mm down cut end-mill first for clearance then a 15deg v-bit. Both run at 22000 rpm.

Thanks for the tutorial! When you were cutting there were alot of frays and the final piece was clean. Any tips or advice for me to have similar results ?

Thanks for the info, very helpful. When I did this on a small sized material as you did the simulated tool path was clear with the details shown. But when I changed just the material size to 36" x36" (leaving the card the same size) the simulated too path wasn't clear at all? Can you not get a high resolution with a large material size?

Nice tut.

Awesome work! ?, how did you determine the depth of the vcarve?

Great tutorial and a nice result. How long did it take to carve the whole image? (only the second, successful attempt)

Thanks for the cool tutorial. I need tools like the one you used to engrave, where can i get them?

Inspiring! I plan to engrave clock dials in 1/32” sheet brass. Planned to try Amana 30 deg V bit, max depth 0.015. They sell tip widths of 0.005, 0.01 and 0.02. For a flat depth, in which parts vary between less than 1/32” to 1/16” wide, how would you select bits?

@i2RCNC

Жыл бұрын

For that it'll be best to preview it in a CAM software to make sure you're getting the detail you're looking for. When it gets that narrow, the flat depth is typically overridden by the bit's angle width limits, so the narrower an angle, the deeper you can carve into thin areas. Hope that helps!

This tutorial really helped me step up my CNC game! 🙌 #gamechanger

I noticed on the VCarve tool path you set a depth stop of 1/8, had you not done that would it have possibly cut through? Also mentioned end grain, you actually had a 3 inch thick board that you cut a workpiece from?

I like to use my sandblaster with crushed walnut shells to clean up fine detail.

Speed: 20000 RPM; Feed: 1800-2000 mm/m. If you're cut is taking too long to engrave, adjust the pass depth and stepover - but be careful not to over stress your bit!

Beauty! Have you ever had an issue where the bit doesn't raise up completely out of the wood before moving on to its next location? Mine is doing that all of a sudden out of nowhere, basically carving a path in between its locations.

Seems the end grain hold the wood fibers in position, while the face puts fibers perpendicular. Then the only thing to do is build up your own end grain blanks if you want anything of size.

Put the wood into epoxy and pressurize it in a paint pot. Once cured the wood will behave like a hard plastic and you should get even better detail.

Hello! That sounds awesome! You can email info@i2rcnc.com if you're interested in commissioning a specific cut.

Could you make me a program in Vecrtic Aspire, I'd send you a .dxf, just one for example to study for me? this is a simple detail.

зачем делать такую глубину, сделайте 0,2-0,4 мм и морилкой выделите перепад высот

Nice explanation but I wouldn't have cut that deep, a shallower cut would have allowed better detail Not being judgemental here! I've made and learnt from far too many mistakes to be that. I often carve images out at say 1mm with 45 degree V bit and get good resolution then fill with resin and sand it flat before a final lacquer coat.

@i2RCNC

You're not wrong! Shallower will allow for tighter resolution, but definitely takes some trial and error to balance the detail shown from the shadows made by depth, and maintaining great detail

so the program is a one time payment of $2,000 and you own it for life is that true? anyone know any similar vector apps easy to use that are cheaper? ik this one looks great just a little pricey at the time. but also get that i should make money back easy using this.
