How To Surface CNC Projects and Flatten Slabs BEFORE Carving, CNC Router Surfacing
This video tutorial explains how to flatten, or surface, your CNC router projects before you start carving, and how to set them up properly in your design software using your surfacing bits. In this video, we will be surfacing a slab with a surfacing bit.
The process described in this video can be used in all CNC router design software, including Vectric Vcarve, Fusion 360, Carbide Create and Carveco. We will be using a pocket toolpath to flatten the CNC project.
If you are wondering what CA glue is, this video explains what it is and how to use it with your CNC router projects.
You will learn how to set the project up on your CNC router so the entire project is surfaced and ready for a good finished CNC project. We also discuss the proper use of surfacing bits, a bit about feeds and speeds when surfacing your CNC router projects and the types of surfacing bits to use.
