First, just upgraded from carbide create and VCarve Pro is a really really nice change. I wasn’t expecting all of the nice features, but after just a little trial and YouTube, it is really nice.
Having said that, I did a trial VCarve today with the Clearance Tool selected. I understand that a clearance tool can’t get into the small spaces, but helps remove the larger bulk area. What I don’t understand is why the vcarve v bit didn’t clean up the rest?
In the picture, you will see an area between the walls of the narrower section that the 1/4 in end mill did not get, which I would expect. But what did the 60 degree v bit not pick this up and clear it out?
My start depth was .00 and flat depth was .2 inches. Used 60 degree v bit for V-Carve and 1/4 inch end mill for clearance. It was default to offset which I kept, cut direction was also default to climb so I didn’t touch that.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks! Bill
