How to Run a CNC Router Project Efficiently, Understanding Toolpaths

This video walks you through a CNC router project for a welcome sign using v grooving tool paths, and how to set up a ball nose (also known as a bull nose) router bit properly to avoid raised cut edges. you will see drilling on a CNC router as well. Here you will see a project run out and a discussion along the way about why CNC router bits are set up the way they are for tool paths All items discussed in this video are linked below. This shows the design in Vectric Vcarve. The types of tool paths used are meant to optimize the outcome of the project doing several things. Move toolpaths to reduce router bit change during a run. We discuss feeds and speeds, and how to set them up to avoid getting marks and witness lines on your CNC woodworking project. In this video, we demonstrate why a roughing bit is something that will make the job run much faster.
