Questions Answered in this Q&A:

• 00:03:28 - I want to make a threaded container, so I remembered that you had a class in the past and that covered this in detail. So I got my hands on a thread mill bit and set about to enter it into my tool database. But I find that there's no default thread milling bit in the database. I'm working with VCarve Pro 11.5 and I'm at a loss to how to get this in my database. Why would Vectric have a thread milling toolpath and no default tool in the database?
• 00:07:37 - I was just checking if anyone besides me is having a problem cutting out a circle pocket, I'm making a desk and putting a logo in the middle of it. The logo has a circle design in the center, but my machine keeps messing up the part of the design. So I tried to cut a test circle before doing the real pass, and it did again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
• 00:13:35 - I'm doing a cutting board inlay, and I'm having trouble with a male part. Trying to do the letter N with a circle, and I need to do both the letter and the circle.
• 00:15:39 - Please look at my molding toolpath on the sheet top panel and help me figure out why the toolpath goes way out of the two rectangles. I only want to cut between the two rectangles when I preview it, it cuts way outside of the whole project. I attached a copy of the file. Hope it works.
• 00:41:35 - Want to carve a pizza peel. The big deal is how to make the taper in VCarve Pro.
• 00:45:51 - Do you know if I could order version 12 VCarve Pro now and get it when it's released?
• 00:52:00 - Can you show the best way to search on your website?
