CNC Routers – Changing The Bit During A Project, How To Know When

This CNC router tutorial video teaches you how to know when you need to change the bit in your CNC router during a project run. When you design a project that has more than one router bit, such as a v-bit and a down cutting endmill bit, you need to know what steps are needed and how the post-processor is set up to make sure the bit change takes place.

In this tutorial, we use the Longmill CNC router, gsender (g sender) control software and Vectric Vcarve, with an acrylic project with an LED lighted base, using an o flute bit and an engraving bit.
