Turtle Tracks 18x12" CNC inlay plan

❗️BUYING A FILE DOES NOT GUARANTEE A PERFECT RESULT. THERE ARE A LOT OF NUANCES IN WORKING WITH INLAYS !!!

📦 TWO PURCHASE OPTIONS: You can buy the Complete Package (all 4 files including the CRV file for Vectric) or Vector Files Only (AI, DXF, SVG without the CRV file). Select your option above.

🧠 DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
Easy.

📁 FILE FORMATS - CHOOSE YOUR PACKAGE:
Complete - All 4 Files: You get everything. The Vectric CRV file for the CNC inlay, built using the same structure, layer logic, and toolpath types I use in my own shop, plus all three vector formats: AI, DXF, SVG.
Vector Files Only: You get the three vector formats: AI, DXF, SVG. No CRV file, no toolpaths. A great choice if you build your own toolpaths or want the design for laser cutting and engraving.

💻 SOFTWARE VERSION:
All files were created in VCarve Pro version 11.5
Please make sure you can open them before purchasing.

📦 WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE CRV FILE:
• Separate toolpaths for the pocket
• Separate vector layers and toolpaths for the inlay insert
• Baseline Inlay Parameters may still require fine-tuning depending on your router bit and milling depth

⏱️ ESTIMATED CARVING TIME:
Approximately 3 hours for both the pocket and the inlay insert.

🎯 VECTOR QUALITY:
All vector artwork is clean, precise, and free of artifacts — optimized for smooth toolpaths and perfect inlay fits.
The design is suitable not only for CNC carving but also for laser cutting and engraving.

🛠️ RECOMMENDED TOOLING AND SETUP:
• I use a TBN (Tapered Ball Nose) bit with a 12.4° angle
• Other bits can be used as long as the cutting depth is reduced accordingly
• Design is layered for easy color separation — ideal for multitone or contrasting wood combinations

🌳 RECOMMENDED WOOD TYPES FOR BEST RESULTS:
• Pocket (base): walnut.<
