Thank you, great video. I have seen fluting in Aspire but never knew exactly how to use it. I got a feeling that this will be used in one of my projects very soon.
[Edit: Just noticed someone else previously made this comment. Add my vote to that.] Love your videos. Now I have a riddle for you, Batman! To make this work even better, the square grooves should also be fluted so they are at a high point midway between the flutes you made and drop down to meet those flutes. We want *all* the grooves to drain water downwards :)
I've been teaching myself how to use Vcarve with your videos! Rather you're teaching me how to use Vcarve! Thank you Love your videos! Do you have one on using an oscillating knife?
@@IDCWoodcraft I tried using it today, it worked with one piece. But on a full sheet of parts it didn't raise up after each part, it just followed the tool path at finish depth and sliced through my parts! Weird
Great video, Garrett. 90 seconds into it I was opening one of cutting board files that has a pair of juice grooves and changing the flat channels between them to flutes. Thanks for the inspiration. Back to the video now to see if I need to make more changes to my file :-)
Dang...thanks for showing that garrett...that is a easy way to do that..I really appreciate it...I gotta check and c if carveco gas the fluting option...thanks again
Missing from Aspire is ability to define the “smooth” ramp with a profile in the z as you can in the x/y. Same in 2-rail sweep. The software defines the transition. I have been trying to find a way to define the profile of the “slope” in flutes or “smooth” in the 2-rail sweep so I could make a coaster holder that follows the profile of a coaster’s circle profile in depth (z).
bw162, It sounds like you've encountered a limitation in Aspire's functionality regarding ramping and profile definitions. While it does have some great features, it can be frustrating when it doesn't meet specific needs. You might explore alternative methods or workarounds within the software to achieve your desired result. Many users often share their tips and tricks online, so that's worth checking out as well! Good luck with your coaster holder project!
I would love to see how to make a bird house roof with rows of scalloped shingles appear to slope off as if the next layer of shingles is laying on top the next row and so on. Been trying to figure that out.
I'm trying to build a pipe stand/ ashtray. Anyone out there cam give me some loungers in using the fluting tool path to create the pocket for the pipe?
K9, a fluting toolpath might be the perfect solution for you on this one. Consider doing that toolpath first before making your pocket for the ashtray itself.
@@robertwlafferty153 if you're having a technical problem with the software itself, you'll have to talk to Vectric. Unfortunately, I am not affiliated with them, nor do I know the deeper technical operations of the software when it comes to why things aren't working with it.

Hi Jeff. You can get very creative with fluting. I'd love to see a picture of what you create
Love the fluting tool path! Thanks a million for showing how it can be used on something other than a cutting board!
Hi SB. Yeah, this video was off the cuff to help. I'll do a full dive in a couple weeks. Cutting boards are just scratching the surface with fluting.
Yes...Yes...Yes..Carveco maker does have the fluting toolpath...just watched a video on their site...Thank you garrett...helped me tremendously...
EXCELLENT! So glad I could help.

Tornadokat, that is a good idea brother! Designing your square grooves like that would be quite the challenge!
This is THE toolpath I've been wanting to learn how to use! Thanks.
Excellent. You will love working with this one.
Saw the video today and it was of great help. Thank you Garret!
Hey Juan! How are things going? The fluting toolpath is a great feature that is way underused. Does very cool stuff.
Another great addition to my Vcarve training.
Terry, glad I could help! Keep up the good work!

What a great video! I will surely tryout the fluting toolpath
Flavian, I'm glad you liked the video. Try it out and let me know how it works for you.
That was an outstanding feature thank you for the introduction did not know that existed in this program
It kinda opens up the possibilites, doesn't it?
Awesome tutorial Garrett! I never used the fluting function; looking forward to my next design even more now!
Oh boy...once you flute, you'll never go back.

Talk about fast action!!!
@@IDCWoodcraft It helped that my cutting board looks a lot like Jeff's soap dish. One of us has clearly made a design mistake.
Great videos. Thank you - these helped me so much.
Earth Home, you're so welcome glad to help!
Another great, useful, quality video. You just keep poppin them out.
Never a shortage of things to teach
Learn something new again. Thanks
You're welcome Craig!
Thanks for the tutorial, Can you make a curve but upwards? starting from zero then going up ending at zero
That's a great question! Not with the fluting toolpath
You are correct….AMAZING!!!
Brian, glad you liked this one brother!
Great video Garrett!
Thanks FC!
Dang...thanks for showing that garrett...that is a easy way to do that..I really appreciate it...I gotta check and c if carveco gas the fluting option...thanks again

Great video. Thank you for your tips 🙏
Hey Denis. You're welcome. Hope your CNC journey is going well.
Very informative, as always!
thank you Larry!
that was great lesson. I have vcarve pro 10.5 could you do one on how to get the curve top of a guitar
Fenders...hello! That would be a fun one to do. I ewill put this on the list. How to design an american flag comes next.
@@IDCWoodcraft awsome thanks

Totally possible. Requires the use of arrays along with flutes.
could it also be done with a molding tool path? Fluting much easier jut wondering
Hi David. I think so but would be a bit more tedious, for sure

Great informative video that keeps your attention. I'm sure your channel is going to grow! How about a thumbs up guy's! He is doing this to help you!
Thanks for the boost, brother!!!
why can't I zoom and grab like you can on your 3d toolpaths screen. I can only rotate it on the x,y,z access point
Hi Nike. I just made a video about this. Here;s the link → th-cam.com/video/RDx6WwrZlnM/w-d-xo.html
I can not figure out how to add to tool database, do you have a video?
Hi Robert. Yes I do. Download this video list. You'll find it there → bit.ly/3mLHGfI

@@IDCWoodcraft i am not having problems with it, i just do not know how to add bits i have. thank you for your help
Ready to start doing flies?!
Thanx
You are welcome Ali
Why don't you just taper the block of wood down on all four sides with no flutes?
Rick, I certainly could have done that! That's a great idea brother!
Very cool
Musacman, glad you enjoyed this one brother.
