Tiling on Your CNC Router

Tiling allows you to make items that far exceed your machine size. Carbide 3D helps you GO BIG with this new software feature. Kevin details the core functions you'll need to understand.
Tiling is now included for all Carbide Create Pro Subscribers.

Every time Kevin Barnett ends up in my YouTube feed, it’s a good day. Cheers sir.

Love this video, I remember doing a few 10’ long ranch signs when I had my plasma cam 4 foot table. Plasma Cam tech support walked me through step by step on the phone on my first sign. After watching this video it’s basically the same and it came back to me. This video just woke up my creativity side of my elderly brain, 😂
Thank You Again.

Would be super helpful to see a workflow with index pins. A good selling point too perhaps. Nicely done here.

Love that new features are being added all the time. Can't wait to try this!

I tiled an 12ft piece on a 32 inch machine 💪🏾

[jaredhusband]

Ive been waiting for this for a long time

[rdbrdd]

Love it. Have my 5 pro on order and can't wait to get at it.

Thank you for this very clear explanation of a very useful new Carbide Create capability. Most helpful!

Awesome new feature and great to see the continued development. Definitely adding value to your software. I wonder if index pins would have been helpful? You could easily poke a few holes in your part and down into your bed to put pins in. That way, you could just slide the workpiece up to the pins and get perfect alignment.

[Ttenkampf]

seems like using indexing pins/holes might be a better option for stock placement and not much more effort.

Any chance you could do a video on cutting dados in cabinet sides side is 12 inches wide 63 inches tall It needs to have 5 dados in the sides 10inch spacing between the dados dados .75 wide and 12 long. It would be helpful to show the router moving and the touch probe and bit setter being used. and show when to set the XYZ Thanks Kevin

[lylestavast]

well thats in one axis - how do you handle the other for really long wide stuff... I understand tiling in essence... someone needs to create a non-rail oriented floating cutter head to span long and wide materials...

[DaveDRC]

exactly what im looking for... i want to make a large 100*25cm tray for under my montior... i was wondering how its done... so a 40x40 or even 40x30 is enough for my needs :D

[ryanrathbone]

Amazing! I am very close to ordering a 5 Pro. Newb question (sorry, I know this video is a couple years old) but how are you securing all the smaller pieces as they are cut out? Are you using screws and/or tape here?

[lmccurry]

Your tiles in the program are set up from the bottom up but your cutting is from the top down. Am I watching that correctly?

[keg]

Couldn’t you do some indexing holes in the waste areas so that you can slide the sheet along then drop the Same size bit into holes exactly?

The alternative would be to screw a piece of wood near centre of sheet that overhangs and stopped by a bolt in those side guide rails.

Can the shapeoko etc be stored in vertical position?

[AWORKOFTHEHEART]

I love that car you cut where can I buy the file?

[piussabas]

nice work, i am a big formula 1 fan, do you mind adding the program on CutRocket?

[northwestgaming]

Is this only available in the pro version

[failureofgravitas]

I'm curious why "NOTE: Carbide Create V7 requires Carbide Motion 565 or higher. "

I've paid for the pro version, is should I not be able to output NC files and then load it with whatever version of Carbide Motion that I have already?
