Using vCarve to Create and Apply a Surfacing Toolpath Template to make surfacing Epoxy Inlays simple
In this video, we dive deep into the process of creating a surfacing toolpath template using Vectric software, perfect for woodworking and CNC enthusiasts. You’ll learn step-by-step how to set up a precise toolpath tailored specifically for surfacing boards using various sizes of surfacing bits. This will make it easy to layout a surfacing toolpath for flattening boards or epoxy inlays. This will help you achieve a smooth surface that will support you moving from the surfacing phase of your project to sanding and finishing. Whether you’re new to Vectric or looking to refine your skills, this tutorial provides clear instructions and practical tips to help you achieve professional results with your epoxy projects. From template creation to the final surface pass, this video covers everything you need to know to master this essential CNC technique. What you will learn in this video: ➡️How to setup surfacing vectors for various size surfacing/flattening bits. ➡️How to export those vectors for reuse in future projects and then how to modify those vectors in future projects ➡️How to save the vectors and their toolpaths as toolpath templates and then how to use the toolpath in future projects. ➡️How to apply the toolpaths to a real life epoxy inlay project ➡️Ways to address problems encountered when the epoxy project does not go as expected.
