This is part 2 of a 2 part video series where I design and carve a Deviled Egg Tray in the shape of a Christmas Tree with BAMX material. BAMX is a special multicolored wood product that can be used for woodworking products to present a unique design.
This video focuses on carving a deviled egg tray that I designed in vectric vCarve Pro software. I am using a Laguna IQ Pro CNC to carve the design.
I am using a combination of toolpaths for carving efficiency and effectiveness that Ryan Drapela shared with me. I will link the video that Ryan shared these toolpath strategies so you can see from the OG directly why he recommended these.
If you have not see the video where I design the deviled egg tray in vCarve Pro it is recommended you watch that video first.
That video can be found at this link: youtu.be/o-hYIrfYp0Q
What you will see in this video:
➡️ How I use a scrap piece of wood to test my cuts and adjust my point round over toolpath before trying to cut the real material
➡️ How the BAMX material looks when carving below the external veneer
➡️ How the use of a roughing cut can help with a more efficient and effective point roundover toolpath and finishing toolpth
➡️ How setting the Z zero to the machine bed provides a cleaner cut through the material without damage to the spoiler board.
