📦 Discover how to design and cut a versatile mitered box, perfect for beginners and experienced CNC users alike! In this lesson, Kyle guides you through creating a simple serving tray with mitered corners and handles. Learn how to set up your project in VCarve, Aspire, or Cut2D, adjust dimensions for custom sizing, and manage material thickness. Kyle also demonstrates creating dado grooves, adding miter lines for V-bit toolpaths, and designing handle cutouts with the offset and fillet tools. Plus, explore how to personalize the bottom of your tray with text or clipart, optimize toolpaths for efficiency, and incorporate practical tips for assembly, like accounting for wood movement and using epoxy infills.
