Thank you very much for a very clear and concise video on how to set up the design and toolpaths.

Excellent job explaining toolpath parameters—best I’ve seen!

We just purchased the Q408 CNC as the newest addition to our woodshop. With this being our first CNC, videos like these are invaluable. Thank you!

BY FAR....the best tutorial on doing 3d carve.

It doesn't go into the time the job takes, but it is easily one of the best tutorials I have found. Many thanks!!!

Very good video. To the point, with explanation and no fluff.

[jamesg]

Thank you, a really clear explanation and a decent bit of artwork to use as an example - a rare thing. Much appreciated.

Very good explanation of the overall process. Thank you for all the “why’s” about the settings used.

Excellent tutorial! I am looking to start 3d carving and this is the most clear and concise tutorial I have found. Everything explained. Thank you.

That was a VERY good tutorial. It's all way too advanced for me at the moment but we all start somewhere. I just bought a 3018 engraver / mill and just starting to learn. It's all really interesting. Thank you. Jim

[miragerd]

Excellent step-by-step explanation. Thank you for taking the time to do this. There is a pretty steep learning curve for beginners and tutorials like yours smooth it out big time.

Great job on this video I love the fact that you took the time to explain what each function did I have watched lots of videos and they just skip over that assuming you already know that and you have been very helpful for me understanding those key functions congratulations you're a the best

Best video by far. Simple, concise and easy to understand. Well done sir.

[geef]

Great video. I’m gonna have to watch it a few more times to really get it, but this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Followed along with him as I did my very first 3D carve. I noticed one particular thing while rough cutting. There is no depth adjustment (passes) like there are on PROFILE. It looks like it falls back to the tool data for PLUNGE depth. My roughing passes were a little deeper than I would have chosen, but it worked fine. Thank you for the excellent video... it helped a lot.
