This is the 1st in a mini-series of videos geared toward the person who has never worked with CAD or CAM software before.
In this video, I’ll introduce v-carving by explaining how it works, the difference between v-bits of different angles, and I’ll detail how the cutting depth is determined. I’ll calculate 2 toolpaths in the Vectric software, then compare and contrast the difference in the results. I may sound like I’m beating the drum on a few points, but those points are crucial to understanding how the process works.
As usual, if you have any comments or questions, please put ‘em in the comment section below,
Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for making this video series! Great information for the absolute beginner, I have a much better understanding about the V bit sizes and depth of cuts. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos.
Very good presentation, the yellow highlight of the pointer really helped me follow along with your instruction. Looking forward to reviewing your other videos.
Thanks for taking the time to help us out Greatly appreciated.
Mark, watched your three videos on V-Bits and this made it clear to me. Thanks for the effort you have put out. I have now subscribed to your channel. Cheers!
Thank you Mark for the clearly explained v-cut important info.
Good work Mark! Thank you for the information. You're a very good teacher!

Wow your teaching skills are outstanding. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you. I was completely in the dark and this series is helping me climb a fairly steep learning curve!
Excellently produced tutorial, thanks.
Mark - this is really well done and super helpful. I just got a Shark SD110 and plan to watch the rest of your videos. Thanks again for doing this.
Mark thank you so much you are a good teacher that inspires confidence and I have to say AT LAST a beginners video that is really for beginners.. I hope to get my 1st cnc machine in August and want to learn as much as I can before then and this will really really help . Jason
Watching this 3 years later as I am just getting into cnc and your videos are just incredible. Very easy to understand. Thank you for your time in posting the video!
Thanks! I was looking for this for a long time!!!!! My new favourite Chanel
Thank you for doing these. It's one of the hardest things to figure out on our own. These videos are great
Thank you. Great explanation of the difference in depth of cut for the different v-bit angles. As a new CNC’er I have been struggling with this.
Thanks Mark this was a great help, watched twice so i could take notes. Working on 2nd part now. Thank you thank you 🙌
Very informative video Mark, thanks for posting.
Great job.. Clear, thorough presentation. Thank you for your effort!
Great content Mark! Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting into this skill!
Thanks Mark, I always learn from the videos you produce. Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thank you, Tim!
Mark, your videos are most helpful. Thank's
Just received my first CNC, and these video's are helping to simplifie the whole process. Thank you.
Cheers
First video for me. You are the first person in this world, that actually got me to understand what all of this means! I am a visual learner, and if I can't see what you are talking about, then it means nothing to me. THANK YOU! This actually made SENSE!
Quite impressed with all th videos I have seen so far. Looking forward to many more.
Just getting into cnc very helpful Great job will continue watching
so helpful. thank you, @Mark Lindsay, for such detailed in-depth information.
Thank you! I hope it helps!
Great video Mark! I knew some of this, but I also learned a great deal as well. As always, certainly appreciate what you bring to the CNC community!
Thank you Michael! I'm glad to see some of the more experienced users can pick up a tip or two here and there. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for a concise and well presented video. This is information that I needed.
This is the first intro to V carve / CNC Routing I have understood :) thanks for the slow talk through without any distracting music most add. I look forward to watching more and learning more thank you.
Thank you very much! I hope you find them helpful!
Thank you so much for going slow enough and explaining the why's. This has been so very helpful.
Thank you for checking it out! I hope it helps!
Not a beginner. Yet a thorough, clearly presented review is very welcome.
This is exactly why I need right now. I have the machine and plenty of experience with wood and building things but zero cnc experience. You gained a subscriber today! Thank you very much
A cada vídeo seu, uma nova aprendizagem.
Parabéns, muito bom 👏👏👏
Thank you Mark for a great channel.. I'm re watching this great series
Thanks you sir, very helpful and and very informative. I'm on a learning trip now about CNC's.
Excellent concise explanation - Well done sir.
Again Mark Great job and it is quite Honorable the time you are spending to help others.
Thank you, Roy. I have a lot of fun, get to hone my skills, and hopefully help folks avoid the mistakes I made along the way.
Thank you for the link with the parts list. It is very important to me. Every day I was hard to find the next part. The DXF part is again professionally prepared and very useful for practice. Thank you.
Glad to hear you're finding them helpful! Thank you for checking them out!
I am just getting started and this video was very very helpful. I look forward to watching the rest in the series
Thank you, Tim! I hope it helps you out.
You're the man, Mark. The glue/activator hold down method absolutely rocks!! So simple, yet effective. Thanks for the heads-up on that one.
It's never failed me yet! Thanks for watching!
Just getting started, Thank You.
Thank you Mr. Mark. I appreciate for the detailed explanations and I am from Mekelle , Tigray , Ethiopia.
Thank you sir! And thank you for checking the videos out. I hope they help!
Thank you for this video. I've very new to CNC ( haven't even made a cut yet), So I'll be watching all your videos.
Thank you again Mark. Lots of important information, very helpful.
Thank you Scott!
This is so good and exactly what I was looking for.
WOW! You have amazing dedication and patience for your fellow man (woman).
Thank you for your time and consideration for we, the learners.
Informative, interesting and well presented. Thanks from Orlando
Another great video. I learn so much from the video's you put out. I have wanted to do v-carved signs but had not idea how to start. I look forward to the reminding video's. Thanks for all you have done for the hobby inc world.
Thanks JJ! We're going to get into all of it, one piece and one step at a time.
WOW Mark, like the others have said, this is the kind of explanation I needed to help understand tool path and why. Great stuff my friend.
Thank you very much! I hope it helps you out!
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to create this video. I just bought V-Carve Pro and am pretty new to CNC in general. You speak so clearly and make everything easily understandable. I have subscribed and look forward to following your existing and upcoming lessons. Thanks again.
Thank you! I hope they help you out!
Wow, these are exactly the instructional videos I've been searching for. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to so clearly explain the necessary knowledge needed to understand what's involved with using a CNC efficiently. Many thanks.
You're welcome. I figure we're all in this together. When I first started, I was the one looking for answers. So if I can help someone avoid the mistakes I made, I'll do what I can. Thank you for watching, and feel free to share this video with folks you think could use this info.
Definitelly subscribed. Thank you for very detailed explanation. Now moving to part two.
Thank you for checking it out! I hope the series helps!
This is really good! I already knew this stuff, but I had to learn it by trial and error. I wish I had seen something like this years ago!
Thank you for your kind words! I too wish I would have had some beginner videos. I decided to get into making these to try to help folks avoid the mistakes I made when I was just getting started. Now I'm kind of on a mission to show folks of all skill levels that they CAN do this if they practice a bit and learn from their successes and failures. That and I just enjoy doing it.
Very well done, thank you so much for the help!!!
Thanks Mark I learned something new today but then I do with all of your videos.
Thank you, Cliff!
Once again excellent video
what a great video thank so much for helping us understand much love
great video series thank you
Very nice Mark! I've got a CNC on order, and you have brought my anxiety level down by 50% or more, with just this vid, thanks for that! I'll follow up on this one, as soon as my brain cools off a little lol. Well done
Thank you very much! This video is part 1 of a 4-part series on basic v-carving. Check the play list for the entire series.
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and skills. This is the second time I have watched the video to refresh my memory on vector width and V bits. Knowing the correct fonts to use helps a lot when using text under 1 inches tall.
Thank you very much for the kind words. A lot of it comes down to experimentation - just trying a font to see if you like it, then trying another if you don't. If you keep at it, it'll soon become second nature. "The smaller the text, the steeper the bit angle" is the general rule of thumb. I know a few people who are carving text less than 1/8" tall, using bits that look like miniature daggers (15° or more.) It just takes practice.
great vid. very clear. thanks 4 the help
I have a little experiance with the use of this program through work but I only know how to do profiling this was very cool to be able to learn and understand a bit more of what this softwear is capable of very happy with what I have watched and looking forward to viewing more of your content
I like how you instruct . Thank you
Great video. Learning alot from you!
I received my Piranha XL the second week of July and I was new to to VCarve. I wasn’t fully understanding v-carving and how the depths worked. The first video in this series was paramount in fully understanding the specifics.
Thank you so much! Job well done.
Thank you very much. So glad to hear it was a help to you. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your help I appreciate it don’t know anything about this machine but I will learned thank you again
Great info mark. Great video.
Hey Mark, Thanks for sharing this video. I've used Aspire for a long time but this video really helped me get my head around the topic a little better.
Thank you, Stephen. I do hope the videos help you out!
A super lesson, Mark! I was aware of the depth of cut/width of cut principle, but the example you used here made it a whole lot more logical, and demystified it a lot. The "spoiler" is making me really look forward to the next lesson. In starting to design some graphics signs, I had thought I would have to make separate layers for each "heaviness" of lines. It sounds like the software will do a lot of that for us. I'll see in the next lesson. Thanks!
I'll get into the "heaviness" of each carve a bit further down the road, but we'll discuss the depth of cut per pass as well as the total depth of cut a bit further in the next video. V-carving is one of the simpler things to do, but the subject is a lot more complex than some folks think - mainly because you have so many options, it can get a bit overwhelming.
Really clear and easy to follow explanation! Thanks!
Thank you! I hope it helps!
MARK I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. THEY ARE EXCELLENT SOME PEOPLE CAN'T TEACH YOU CAN.
Thank you very much, John!
Wow, I wish I would have paid more attention in math class. Thanks for the video just purchased my Piranha CNC, new to everything and sinking in Vcarve. This video cleared up some of my issues.
I'm with ya. Math was never my strongest subject. Then I went into cabinetry and furniture building and needed it badly. It does get easier, though - trust me. Thanks for watching!
This was absolutely fantastic teaching! Thank you! I am an ABSOLUTE beginner and your explanation was thorough and at a pace that was understandable.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped!
This is perfect, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for all you do
Thankyou for the tutorial,keep up the good work👍
Thank you, Thomas! I hope you're finding them useful.
Merci pour cette vidéo! Très instructive!
This is a great start video. Going to the next. Thanks
Thank you, John! I hope they help!
Great video like the corners idea with vcarve
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just what I was looking for as a newbie. Love your clarity, love your pace, great voice. Cant help but learn.
Thank you for checking it out, Darren! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Wow thanks you learned so much your a great teacher
A coworker and I are cramming Vectric and 3d wood carving tequnique to run a hot job on our 3 axis AXYZ's router tommorow due to our AXYZ's guy being off indefinitely. I run a Zund everyday and am out of my wheelhouse once away from their Cut Center proprietary aoftware. Thanks for this, job saver right here!
Very good video, I learn lot
GREAT video. Im new to CNC and was just what I need. I like that you narrate (rather than type), that you speak slowly and clearly (so I have a chance to look around on the screen and figure out what you are talking about), and that you refrain from wild, all over the screen cursor chasing. The V-Carve dialog boxes are a bit small on my screen but that's a V-carve thing and once I understand what you did I can easily find the buttons when I run my V-carve. Thanks.
Thank you very much! I do what I can to capture the screen at the highest resolution I'm capable of, but some things are still a bit small. Then again, I'm on a monitor that's pretty big, so I can read everything (with my glasses on, anyway. Don't get old - it sucks.) As for speaking slowly, that's because I do my own closed captions. If I talk to fast, I have a hard time doing that. So, basically, I'm old and lazy, so you reap the benefits! Thanks again!
You're a very good teacher Mark. This may be a basic level tutorial, but some of us that have been doing this for a while can also pick up some excellent tips and more information about the process. Thank you so much for doing these videos. Also, Vectric may not be sponsoring your video, but they did recommend watching your videos. That's how I got here.
Thank you very much, Thomas! This video was made several years ago, when Vectric didn't even know I existed (at least, I didn't think they knew I existed.) While they're still not officially sponsoring me, we do have a very good relationship. They know I'm a huge fan of their software, and they have supported me in many ways - recommending my beginners tutorial videos being one of those ways. My main goal is to show folks that Vectric software isn't over a person's head as long as they're willing to sit down and learn it. If I've helped anyone in achieving that goal, then I consider that a success. Thank you again, and have a good one!
Thank you for the clear info. Wonderful!
Thank you very much! I hope it helps!
WOW my forehead is sore from slapping it! Excellent tutorial and really answered some of my questions. I also love your philosophy or we aren't born with this. You are using the internet in the way it was intended, thanks! Remember knowledge is a seamless garment...
Thank's Mark, It's finally time someone did this to the level you have explained.. I'm a beginner and have been searching for the truth on how it's done right. I have ran multiple test and still have some issues with the 3d vision in the Desktop version vs what I get at the machine. I will check out your other sources, look for additional info and log into you web site to be more private. Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Thanks very much for checking them out, Ron. I hope they help!
Very helpful, thank you.
As a french speaking guy, i like your subtitled videos and your slow speaking voice. I'm a fan of what you're doing to help people like me. Very interresting and for sure, I'll watch all of your videos. Thanks so much and big thumb up.
Thank you very much, sir! I do appreciate it.
I just found this. My interest is that I bought a used NWC Piranha XL and I'm interested in being able to try out inlay with V carve bits. I have the VCarve Desktop software, and my first attempt at just trying out a pure rectangle inlay is producing rounded corners, but I think it's because I'm using Profile instead of V-Carve tool path. I found some resources explaining the geometry/math of doing the inlay, and I just want to get the simple rectangles for putting theory to practice before I go doing something with decent wood. Great resource here. Thank you!
Great video for the beginners. I've been using VCarve Pro for over a year now and I didn't know about seeing the Z axis depths on the preview.
Thanks, John. It's got all kinds of little hidden tricks up its sleeve. Wait until you see what's coming up in Version 9.5. I can't wait until it's released!
Thank you for your good work ....
I’ve been thinking about the V carve software. This will help me in determining my final decision.
Thanks for watching! I used VCarve Pro for close to 5 years, then graduated to Aspire. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the Vectric titles, depending on what you want to do with your CNC.
Great info, thank you
Thanks for sharing this video
Thank You. I just subscribed. I am a beginner and appreciate the videos.
Thank you very much! I hope you're finding the videos useful!
Thank you, Very helpful.
