- This is the quickest and easiest way I know to create a grid for your CNC spoilboard, aka wasteboard.
Using a grid on your wasteboard gives you an exact X and Y position to place your project, and, it also saves a lot of time.

The one I’m watching is perfect. Not blurry at all.
Excellent, clear instructions! Thanks!!
You are very welcome! :)
Thank you! I've new to the Vetcric software and tutorials like this are SUPER helpful! Subscribed, liked, comment and good on ya! Keep up the clear, concise, and super helpful content. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much, Mike! I appreciate your feedback. Feel free to let me know if there is anything in particular I could do another video on.
@@TwinSummitDesigns He sound genuine, got skills, and willing to educate. Heat him up with request, and let him have another helpful step up the hill of his journey.
Yeah Mate, Vectric should offer you a job to improve their product.
Thanks a lots for you help!
Thanks mate! :) Trying to keep things as simple as possible.
Would like to add. In my case working area is 610x915. To avoid UCCNC error such as out of limits I used 609x914 area for the toolpath.
Good video. Might suggest you put your X and Y grid lines on separate layers, turn off the unwanted layer while working on the other. Then you don't have to remember how far you moved the X grid to get it back in place.
Why did you use the engraving tool path instead of the profile tool path?
Good suggestion Richard! That would make it even easier I reckon.
May I ask for a new tutorial of the same but with the cycle to the exact middle of the working space of the cnc. ? If possible?!
Hey! I would love to give that a go. Could you clarify a bit more? What do you want to achieve with that or what is it for? Im off on a roadtrip for the next two weeks but I will try and get to this ASAP for you.

Cycles runs.
1. Shows how well your machine is calibrated.
2. Visual assist to align
3. Assist to impress your missus too. ))
Priming the board prior in aim of highlighting the cuts is another thing to assess.
Great video, but despite following every step exactly as you did, when I selected the lines and clicked on the "join open vectors" icon, it showed that there were no open or closed selected vectors. I selected them every way I could find, and they were pink just like they were in yours, so obviously I couldn't finish.
I know how annoying this can be! This happens quite often when I try to follow something like a Photoshop tutorial and the buttons are not where they are in the video. This is a bit hard to help with without seeing what your file looks like. I would create a new file and repeat the same but just something simple to see if the same issue pops up again. If so, we can narrow it down a bit more..
Why not make just one line vertical and array copy that one , and also for the horizontal line just make a gap of 25 mill.
I'm sure there are several different ways of getting the job done. I might make a follow-up video at some point. Cheers!
I love your explanation but the video is blurry. This makes it difficult to follow you.
You are welcome and thank you for the feedback. You should be able to select up to 4K for the video quality. Sometimes the default CZcams settings are very low for some reason. Let me know if that helps?
