How to Enter and Use A Keyhole Bit in Vectric - Part 12 - Vectric For Absolute Beginners

Adding and Using a Keyhole Bit – Part 12 - Aspire and VCarve For Absolute Beginners More down here ↓↓↓ Click SHOW MORE! This is the 12th in a series of videos geared toward the person who has never worked with CAD or CAM in the Vectric Software before. In this video, I’ll show you how I use a keyhole bit with the Vectric software. I’ve had several requests to do a demonstration of how I entered a keyhole bit into my Tool Database, how I calculated a toolpath, and how I set up and use the bit. In this video, I’ll demonstrate all of the above. First I’ll show you the info about the bit I needed to get, then how to enter that info into the tool database. Next I’ll show you how I created the geometry I needed to create a 3/4” long vertical keyhole slot for a project. Then I’ll demonstrate calculating the toolpath from that geometry, previewing the toolpath, and saving the g-code. From there we’ll move out onto the CNC router, where we’ll load the g-code into Mach3, set the X, Y, and Z zeros on our project, and cut a keyhole. As usual, if you have any comments or questions, please put ‘em in the comment section below. Thanks for watching!
