Martin & Martha A.Verified

I need to learn little more about V-Carve, for the tiles i picked the wrong roofline, so the bottom gutter line was strait instead rounded with the tiles like on your Pick. But over all liked it verry much and still looks good and sturdy. maybe the next one i try as a double sided job. GOD bless you all, Martin

Great bit! makes a very nice easy to sand juice grove. I love being able to cut a small grove in a smaller board and larger grove in a bigger board, using the same bit.

Groove Master - 1/4" Shank - Juice Groove Bit

Keith W.Verified

Have not had a chance to use but it looks great. I am looking at using for a different form on the outer edge of several plaques I have in mind. Also think It would make a great internal detail on some shallow dishes I am thinking of.

Timothy L.Verified

Great general-purpose bit. Clears chips well and cuts efficiently without bogging down the machine. I’ve been pushing it a bit in hardwoods and it’s handled it without any issues—clean cuts, minimal burning, and good chip evacuation. If you’re doing deeper cuts or anything where clearing material matters, this is the one I reach for.

Golden Boy - 1/4" x 1" Upcut Rougher

David C.Verified

I really didn’t believe that it could run .25” deep at 120 inches per minute. But it does. And it saves so much time and wear on my other bits.

I will admit that I struggled a little with the Instructions of the bottle openers. I even called him to clarify, which vectors I use, and I was advised to use the vectors on the right. That didn’t seem to make sense since that was not properly aligned. I did end up using the images on the left and it came out OK. However, the depth of the Bamx was not .75 it was .76. Nonetheless I think the material is really good. I even bought two more sheets of it. Just consider the low end user like m...

BamX - Bourbon

Keith W.Verified

Used it to surface my new spoil board. It did an awesome job at 15K rpm. 120 IPM, .02 DOC &m 80% step over. Left a very smooth surface. But the best part was the personal note from,"MOMMA" in the box. It has to be awesome to have her around the shop.

Bob M.Verified

I am very new to CNC and struggled with setting this up with a different clock face. I managed to get it. Very pleased with the kit. I was an absolute blast to watch being cut. Thank You.

My work load is to tight at this time and have not been able to work it into the shop schedule. I will be looking at additional CNC bits very soon. Just need a little time or more help. Americas 250TH is overwhelming.

Carl J.Verified

It was great. I made a practice unit that following your instructions came out perfect but no mistakes so then I went ahead and made the one with the included wood, which is even better thanks.

I have not had the opportunity to make this kit yet, however, I can say this: Ordering was super easy, shipping was speedy and the kit arrived and was as I expected. Can't wait to actually put it on the CNC... Until then! Thank you, Kent

Customer photo review of Tortilla Press Digital File

Larry P.

Tortilla press was very easy to carve out using the Onefinity CNC. vCarve Files were perfect and explained very well in the video. Thanks for your attention to detail.

Nick P.Verified

The bit is amazing, it's just a shame I can't use it yet. Went to fire up the cnc machine and homed it, put a roughing bit in, did my usual centering, hit start...no start. I looked around everything, unplugged and re-plugged everything, checked for updates...nothing. Turned out, my spindle said no more. Out curiosity, i took it apart...hit definitely got hot. I want to try it bit i will definitely hit you up for a revised review once im able to get a new spindle.

Groove Master - 1/4" Shank - Juice Groove Bit

Eric W.Verified

Cuts clean and surfaces better than a traditional ballnose bit due to the flat surface between the radius. I will be using these bits a lot in the future and I am thrilled with what I got. Thanks CIC workshop!!

Michael C.Verified

You can’t beat the customer service, after unboxing my order and seeing an issue I immediately got in touch with Slim and he definitely corrected the issue quickly! Thank You!

Premium Cutting Board Feet - Brass/Stainless Steel

Robert B.Verified

After a shaky start with equipment burps, (thank you Slim for walking me through the “loose screw” problem and then following up with me) I have completed about 4-5. I have another 8 to go. Wife wants at least 5 for Christmas presents and the rest will be sold. Great kit! Thanks.

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said before, I should have gotten this sooner. I'm a hobbyist sign maker and this tool has cut down my cnc time by over 50%

Have used the bit a couple of times now and it performs as advertised. I am happy with the purchase! The thank you note from Mom included with the shipment was a nice touch and is appreciated!

Looks good and fits perfectly. Nice finishing touch for five jewelry boxes. Ordering on line was a breeze and delivery was fast. My direct communication with CIC staff couldn't have been any better.

Barrel Hinges - Pack of 6

Karen L.Verified

This bit works great and I love that it is just a little longer than my other 1/4" end mill bits. This is one of the bits I use all the time now.

1/4’’ x 1’’ Downcut - 1/4’’ Shank - DC221

Daniel D.Verified

Just getting into inlays, and watched the tutorial. The process was well laid out, and looked like something I could do, with the right bits. I bought the ones recommended, and they’re great. Still perfecting my own inlay technique 😁

Golden Boy - 1/4" x 1" Upcut Rougher

Greg S.Verified

I took several items made out of this material to a show and they were the 1st 4 things I sold. People raved about the color and the look. This is GREAT. Question: Would you ever consider doing a walnut and maple with varying or graduated stripes.

Exotico Panel

William S.Verified

Sadly when I was making the press is when my cnc took a dump. So I had to order a new cnc. As soon as it gets set up I will go back and make the press again mark 2 lol

The Kit has everything you need to make and build this handheld Maze. Everything from the BAMX to the program were first rate....I also purchase V-Bits from CIC and they are second to none. I've used them exclusively for Carvings that I've been doing as of late. I'll be back for more BAMX and bits...Thanks Guy's..!!!

Johnny/peter P.Verified

The boxes came out perfect. Tool paths were exactly as described. It’s so enjoying to build something from CIC and know it’s going to work flawlessly. Thank you Ryan for the great products you put out. Will continue to watch and buy from you. Johnny

Bruce M.Verified

I purcshed the bits to make the Wave Flag, the small and the large one. The cut like butter. great bits. Both the 30 degree and the 1/16 Ball Nose.

30 Deg V-Groove - 3-Flute - 1/4 Shank - VSC30

Pierre B.Verified

Used the file to make fridge magnets for friends. They turned out great. Also, made a two sided 2" disk with this on one side and my 50th class reunion mascot on the other side. One for all who attended the reunion! Thanks for making something everyone can enjoy.

Andrew K.Verified

This bit is awesome. It’s saved me so much time on a ton of projects for my business. Ideas and designs that weren’t really reasonable to try as a business due to time requirements are now realistic. Super happy with this bit and will absolutely be buying again once this one wears out.

Golden Boy - 1/4" x 1" Upcut Rougher

Billy M.Verified

I just bought a new home and for the last 9 months everything has been in storage. I have not been able to get everything set up yet and start making. When I do I will let you know. But it looks like it's still another month out before I get everything ready. I got a nice garage to build in but it doesn't have any shelves or cabinets so I got to do all that first before I can even start building projects.

I got the plans for it and purchased the birch plywood but have not had time to cut it out yet. Will get back to you when done. Thank you Jim

Inlay Press Digital File

Ray R.Verified

The files are great! I have not had time to cut and laser the clock at this time. I am out of town and will be doing it when I return. Thank you,

Paul H.Verified

Absolutely the most efficient layout I've ever seen. The waste was not usable in any way as it was so small (I use waste off cuts from everything to make Bandsaw Boxes) that I had nothing to use! It was so useful that my co-worker (I work at a major specialty woodworking company) wanted one too! She was a little crazy and wanted it in walnut! Anyway, thanks much for the pattern, and thanks for all of the education you provide to the CNC world.

Between my prior collection of 1/8" shanked Drills. And the Two 1/8" cutters in this order. I am ready to start a CNC MACHINE SHOP! Of course more bits to come, but first things first! I WILL need an Engraver bit later on, I just need to focus on "First Things First"

Dan G.Verified

My projects move slowly. I use a CNC at my local club. Currently I am collecting wood and building end grain boards for inlay of six different colors in this pattern. I'll send a picture when it's done.

I haven't actually done anything yet with this file as I just got back from traveling for a few weeks. My buddy and I plan to make a couple to donate to our local veterans support center to raise money at their annual auction.
