Serving Board VCarve Inlay

Welcome to the Labs sessions! We love to make and share projects with our community and enjoy nothing more than providing you with FREE monthly CNC projects that you can download and cut for yourself!

Each project comes with its own video for you to watch telling the story of what we’re making from start to finish. It includes technical software footage, machining each part in the Labs and finishing the project, and as an added bonus, we throw in a few tips based on our experience! We would love to see what you turned this project into so download the files from your V&CO account then share what you’ve made on the Vectric Forum.

In this video Todd will show you how you can use brand new VCarve inlay toolpath feature available in V12 (VCarve Pro and Aspire) to create a serving board fit for presenting a tasty spread of cheese, crackers or meats at your next dinner party!

Using a live edge piece of beech, with some walnut and purple heart cutoffs, Todd explores the new toolpath strategy. Using a single color AI generated bitmap for the initial design, he quickly and easily breaks the design up into a two color inlay. If this is your first time creating a VCarve inlay, you’re in luck as Todd also takes a few minutes to share some of his “best practices” and “top tips” that will help you to achieve the perfect inlays in no time at all. We can’t wait to see what you make!

Have fun making, and make fun stuff!
