@@vectric Corner overcuts if more accurate. As mentioned, it's eliminating the radius so square material can fit - IE when making a recessed vacuum fixture.
Hey Chuck, thanks for letting us know. Our support team can look in to this for you, please can you send your file to support@vectric.com for them to review? Thanks
Why can I select a v-bit for the female, but not for the male? The female allows me to select a spiral end mill to clear out the pocket and a vbit for the edges. The male only allows for spiral endmill. This sounds like it would result in a mismatched pair.
@@StephenJoiner I'm aware of the vcarve toolpath, but when using that one we have to manually flip the male portion add a border and do a second vcarve for it. The auto inlay almost does this for you, it just seems to miss the vbit portion on the male side.
@@JasonLetanosky Well it can't do that because it would be undercut if you visualize it. The narrower portion of the male would be under a "cliff" of wider wood at the top. So flipping it is the only way it could be cut with a V bit.
@@StephenJoiner I agree that it needs to be flipped. I'm saying the software *should* allow the option to automatically do that. The function is halfway there due the ability to use a vbit on the female. If the software would mirror the male accordingly and allow for a vbit, then the auto inlay feature would be much more useful.
Hello and thanks for the comment. This Inlay toolpath assumes you are uising a stright sided endmill of some sort. If you are looking for the process of making a VBit inlay (where you use a VBit to angle the wall to make a tighter fit) then this video might be of some help.... th-cam.com/video/yUaSsL4F6_E/w-d-xo.html
Totally agree. Seems this function of an Inlay tool path is nothing more than a glorified Pocket. Who cuts a straight E anyway? Inlays are meant for VBITS.
Thanks for the comment... and will add that to the list of future things to consider. For the record it is pretty easy to conver any of our working/demo files into metric by simply chaning the job properties. It won't ajust the tooling so you will nee to keep an eye on those.
@@TensquaremetreworkshopYeah and it never really caught on so it’s essentially invalid here. We prefer to call a half inch, a half inch instead of 12.7 mm or whatever it is in metric. Etc etc. Vectrics not even a US company but probably the majority of their customers are. Imperial for the win, per usual. It’s glorious isn’t it.
I really love your teaching,thanks
You are very welcome, and thanks for leaving the comment!
Good info. Nicest and smoothest voice I've heard
Thanks!
Settle down there bro
I need to machine pockets with corner undercuts to machine square material. I don't see an option to do this.
Hello Norm... We can't cut "undercuts" on a 3 axis machine. I may be misunderstanding your use of "undercuts" apposed to "overcuts"?

When I did this the female toolpath left an outline, it did not cut the whole E. Vcarve Pro 11.554

can i ask for help I'm doing according to the movie, but there is a rant on the border of two cuts
Hello... and thanks for the question. Not sure what you are meaning by a "rant"?
@@vectric It would be best to upload a photo, but it's impossible here, maybe I could describe the problem to an e-mail?
We would suggest you email support@vectric.com and include a description of the issue and they will be able to get you all sorted out.

Use the vcarve tool path instead not this one

@@JasonLetanosky Makes sense!
I will try this tutorial, thx a lot...like it😉😘
Thanks Herman!
Yah! dat is good un tight!
Thanks for that!

Update for V carving toolpaths for auto inlay already lol

you need to start use Metric system. most people in the world uses it

Just because you use it doesn't mean everyone else should.
@@michaelagostino1321 Yes, it does. The US went 'metric preferred' back in the mid 70s. How long do you need?

@@SeamlessFab Well, every vehicle in the US since the 80s was designed and built in metric.And most other things.
