1. Master Vectric 12.5 with Kyle Ely – Training & Expert Tips

If you use Vectric software for CNC projects, you do not want to miss this! In this live session, Garrett from IDC Woodcraft is joined by Kyle Elely, the founder of Learn Your CNC and a Vectric master trainer. Kyle walks through the most powerful updates in Vectric version 12.5—including toolpath copying across sheets, 3D view enhancements, and more efficient 2D tool access in 3D mode. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned creator, Kyle answers your CNC and Vectric questions live, sharing workflow strategies, import file tips, text tool tricks, and how to master toolpath templates. Garrett and Kyle also dive into what holds most CNC creators back when learning design software—and why Kyle’s structured Vectric course is the fastest path to confidence. Liberty shares her experience as a student and the ladies run the giveaway for IDC’s newest bit: the 1/4" Down-Cut Ball Nose endmill, designed for ultra-clean edges in projects like the IDC Marble Maze! 👉 Want to fast-track your Vectric learning?
