Can the Student, Liberty beat the master Garrett Fromme in this pizza peel CNC Face Off?
After watching Garrett's pizza peel project, I decided to create my own version using VCarve, a surfacing bit, a 150° V-bit, and a healthy dose of trial and error.
Things started out smoothly... until they didn't.
In this video, you'll see:
How I designed a pizza peel from scratch in VCarve
Why surfacing your material matters
A setup mistake that nearly ruined the project
How checklists can save CNC projects
Using guidelines, offsets, fillets, and layers to create custom designs
Working around material limitations
Using a 150° V-bit to create a functional pizza peel profile
Real-world CNC troubleshooting and recovery
This isn't a perfect build video. It's a real CNC project showing mistakes, fixes, and the problem-solving process that every CNC owner experiences.
If you've ever made a setup mistake, forgotten a setting, or had to rescue a project, this video is for you.
