Design an American Flag for your CNC using VCarve Pro! | Full Tutorial

In this video I will demonstrate how I design an American Flag, using VCarve Pro. You can apply these methods to any of the Vectric Products such as Cut 2D, VCarve Desktop, VCarve Pro and Aspire. You can even use these design principles and apply them directly to other CAD software, even if its not within the Vectric Family.

After we create the design in the CAD section of VCarve Pro, we will create our toolpaths and save the project.

This is a GREAT tutorial, thank you so much for posting this.
I absolutely love the 4 part series that you did a few years ago, which including adding a badge and patch to the flag. Those tutorials are priceless.

When you cut your stripes with the Amana end mill, do you keep the default stepover of 40% or do you change it? Yours seem to come out a bit cleaner than mine. Another great series.

I've been carving flags for a few years now but never designed them with my VCarve, instead opting to use Easel. Your tutorial designing the flag using VCarve is so informative. I'll definitely will be using VCarve, using your tutorial, for my next ones. I'll be awaiting your next videos building on this one. :)

QUSTION: Where did you set the depth for the V-Bit? I did not see that. I saw the depth for the 1/4 and 1/8 bits as .0625.
