How to make a VCarve Wooden Flag

Making a VCarve US Flag using VCarve Pro and CNC.

Sometimes, work is just work and it is hard to get excited by it, but this VCarve project was a bit different. Making a highly detailed flag in Vectric VCarve Pro, adding my little special woodworking details and then milling it on my CNC was just fun and for a good cause. Come with me through the video and I will show you step by step what I did to create this cool project.

Correction To Video!!!

Repeatedly through the video I called the RC-45711 bit a 45 degree bit… I have no idea why I did that and I apologize. It is a 90 degree! This is the one you want.

Furthermore, the smaller V-bit is also a 90 degree. I don’t think I made the mistake on that one. This is one of my favorite V bits as it structure is solid and not flimsy. Many V-bits are two flute and are prone to wear when cutting harder materials. The 45626-k is designed for waste removal and provides more shank to prevent damage.
