Module 3 - Everything about the toolpath before start - Aspire / VCarve
Everything important from basics to advanced so you can machine your guitar from simple to complex.


  • Module 3 - Class 3.1
    3.1 Organization of Tools

Organize your bits in order of size or work sequence, define different behaviors for the same bit in different types of materials, define groups of tools for different machines.
When the Module has some files to check or practice, they will be available to download into the first video.


  • Module 3 - Class 3.2
    3.2 Organizing Toolpaths

Sometimes a guitar can have many toolpaths.
Some jobs can exceed 30 of them and if the organization is not well done from the beginning you can find yourself lost later on.
