- In this video I show one way to get started learning how to use Carveco software by creating a welcome sign from start to finish. I use 3/4 inch MDF for its easy carve ability. I will show how to create seperate files to enable the use of seperate bits.
I highly recommend PWNCNC depth stop collars and the link to them is below

I’m just about to venture into the CNC world and was looking for instructional videos on Carveco. I’ve found a few tutorial channels, but I must say, that yours are the clearest for me. Thanks so much for taking the time to produce these videos. Very much appreciated 🇬🇧
You’re very welcome Robin thanks for watching and thank you for the kind words
I have to sat thank you for such a detailed video. I have dyslexia and with your amazing help i am now about to carve my first sign. Again thank you very much...
Thank you for watching congratulations that’s awesome
Thanks for this! Was thumbwrestling with Maker to do a sign and took from this to make it a Vcarve toolpath.
Glad to help thanks for watching
New cnc owner here, thank you so much for creating this very thorough video - greatly appreciate it!

You’re welcome thanks for watching
Great video, Sir! I love how thorough you are in your instruction!! You not only show how to use #Carveco you also give real world tips! A big help to someone new to CNC! Thank you as well for the mention!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the vid and your welcome!
You two are talking via CZcams comments. I just call my in-laws on FaceTime. Next time you two get together for Thanksgiving or Christmas I want to see a "shop visit" video on both channels!
That’s a great idea!

Wow a video that speaks in plain simple English and instructions. I just subscribed to his site
Thank you Robert!
Great video! Thank you for helping me!

Just getting into Carvco after exhausting what I could do with Carbide Create and this was fantastic. I learned a ton! Thank you!
Thanks for watching
I felt the same way and that’s why I switched to Carveco it’s an awesome program
A lot of great tips in this video, thank you mate
You’re very welcome
Thanks for watching
Thank you so very much. You have made it very clear. Mike in the UK

Thanks you helped a lot.
Thanks for watching and glad it helped you out
Fantastic explanations!
Thank you! And thanks for watching
New sub, and new to Carveco, great instructional video. This really will help.
Thank you for watching and subscribing!!
Wonderful, not rush explanation, I appreciate your much needed help. Good job, I wish you could have sent the work for cutting in this video.
Thank you
Great video!
Thank you for watching!
and the compliment
Very well done, I did learn and will subscribe as well. This is exactly what I needed to get started with my new machine. The machine I purchased is the Prover xl 6050 and this will be my very first attempt at using this machine. Wish me luck, lol. Thanks for the tutorial, I will be looking at your other videos for more follow up. Cheers !
Thank you! And good luck 👍
Great video! My 3rd time watching. Getting the basics. Just working through getting my CNC to speak to my computer. I think it's the format I saved it as.
Thank you for watching!!
In the beginning learning the software is a challenge but hang it there once you have it down the projects you can make are incredible
@@Hinkleshop the worst right now is trying to find the right g-codes for my machine. I think I have it but, for some reason, my machine never makes it out of the strat point. Like it's trying to cut the whole welcome sign on a pin head.
What machine do you have?
If you contact Leighton @carveco tech support letting him know which machine he will point you in the correct direction let him know I suggested you contact him
@@Hinkleshop they're even going to try and get the rotary set up and goingr.
@@HeirloomGameCalls that’s great! they are a really good group at Carveco
Thanks for the easy to follow video for a beginner. So much easier to learn here. Confident enough after watching once to go ahead and start working.
You’re very welcome Roy thanks for watching the video i’m glad you enjoyed it and found it informative
Thanks!
Thank YOU! very much Sonny we really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you sir
Thank you for watching!
Great video Mr. Hinkle thinking of moving to carveco maker from Easel. I like the control over toolpaths it offers.
Thank you!
I highly recommend changing to carveco it’ll be a pretty steep learning curve but once you have it down, you wonder why you waited so long to switch
@@Hinkleshop actually I am cnc machinist learning curve won't be to bad. There wasn't anything you said in the video that sounded foreign to me.Just have to make sure my old laptop can run it.
Awesome then it will be a walk in the park
Great video thanks for the much needed help. I know this may vary based machine router etc but what would be the average estimated machine time. Don't really see anyone discussing that.
Thanks for watching
A rough guess based on 50 IPM I would say 15 -30 min
There are many variables involved such as safe z settings and travel speed during rapid moves
Thank you so much. The Canadian or French guy doesn't explain that well.
Very informative. When you put the files on your desktop, could you send them to a thumb drive? Im new at this and actually my CNC hasn’t come in yet.
Yes I create files on my desktop all the time then send to a thumb drive to take out to the shop laptop
Great video! Question, you did your xy with a vbit in the lower left corner. If you then changed bits with say a tapered ball, would that be a problem since the diameter of the bit was smaller?
Thanks for watching
I think I understand your question
Basically you are wondering if you can use a tapered ball instead of a vee bit
If that’s the question
Then yes as long as you choose a v bit tool path strategy it will work
The walls of the letters will match the taper of the bit
Thank you so much for the reply. Basically, yes, that answers it.
My question since getting this longmill using gsender has been if you create a catch all tray, (yes, the one I made from your video) and not have a touchplate, could you start the project with the 1/4” endmill in the lower left corner using the paper method to get your initial xyz.
Then, when changing to the vbit, just reposition the vbit and get the z from the same place, not the xy, leaving that as originally created with the first 1/4” position. Sorry for the long description, but I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a video explaining that.
Your videos have been super helpful, thank you for that!
@michaelsweet8327 be sure to rezero for z height when changing from one bit to another
why is the font so much thicker in the carving than it is on the screen ?
It may be the finish depth setting or the 90 bit used has a larger profile than what Carveco is being told you are using I ran into that with a bit from amana that was larger than the one I programmed
Where can I get the program to do this type of work.
Thanks for watching
The software is called Carveco
Hi ,In my application there are no tools uploaded. Are there any files I can download to add them?
Thank you for watching
When you are creating the tool paths and you click to select a tool a drop down should appear on the left with sub drop downs that show the tools available if that is not the case it would appear you have a software issue contact Carveco support and they will get that fixed
Hope this helps
When I save my finished Tool paths to my desktop, it saves in Acrobat but wont reopen, i get an error message, wont open, Any thoughts? Thank you
Check the post processor selection before you save the tool path
It’s on the right side bottom of the screen
@@HinkleshopAppreciate the reply, Ive tried both, the UGS and Fox Alien, I get the same error code, frustrating!!
@dluxbbq567
You can’t open the tool path from the desktop you have to open it in your Carveco model make your changes and then save over the original that’s on the desk top
I didn’t catch that in the first question sorry
I installed Note pad and saved it there, it opens now! Do you offer Virtual One on One Training?
Glad you have got it working
We are currently looking for the right platform to give the one on ones
If you need immediate help shoot me an email and I’ll be glad to help

Thanks!
You’re welcome
hope this helped
