Hey CNC Woodworkers! In my last video I showed how to machine a bowl using a special jig in Fusion 360 ( [ Ссылка ] ). I know a lot of people tend to use Vectric VCarve, so I spent quite a bit of time recreating this project in VCarve so other people can make this bowl. I wanted it to be easier to make, so I did the typical approach of using "tabs" instead of a jig. The jig is actually difficult to create in VCarve due to how it works, so the tabs are a good alternative for a project like this when you don't know how to use Fusion 360. I also wanted to compare the two pieces of CNC software and discuss some of the pros and cons of each.

I wrote up a complete set of directions (PDF) along with the Vectric VCarve 11.5 file and made it available:
Corbin's Workshop VCarve Version: [ Ссылка ]
Esty Vectric VCarve Version: [ Ссылка ]
Buying the file helps support my videos and work, but I'm also happy to freely send the plain STL file to people who request it and want to do their own toolpaths for it. Just send me an email!
