Does anybody know of any really good getting started videos? I have VCarve Pro right now, but could use something easier/free. Completely new to CNC and cad, but would love a step by step video for creating a first project with both onefinity CNC and preferably VCarve Pro. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. ---

Do you have the paid version of VCarve Pro? If yes, the Avalon tutorial is pretty good stating place: [Tutorial Browser - VCarve Pro | Vectric](https://www.vectric.com/support/tutorials/vcarve-pro) ---

Check out Garrett Fromme’s IDC Woodworker’s series. He’s got a bunch of basic new to CNC ones that are pretty well presented. ---

I’m a Fusion360 user recently tried VCarve and it seems like things are even harder to intuit there. I would recommend you explore the various tools out there and maybe land on one that is more intuitive for you! Fusion360 also has a huge resource/learning library.
