Hey guys. How's it going? Today I’m going to be showing you how
I made this awesome pumpkin cutout just in time for the fall season.
We do have the plans available for this on our website so be sure to check those out. There's
a link down in the description. Without further ado let's show you how I made it.
Starting in a new project here to make a stacked pumpkin cutout for the fall season.
We do have the plans available on our website so be sure to check those out there.
We're just getting the Oramask laid down on top of this material that I painted orange
and we're putting it on the StepCraft M.1000 CNC machine and using some brad nails to hold
it down. Picking up the 46202-K quarter-inch down cut bit to cut out the majority of the waste here.
So with the Vectric software that we also sell on our website, you can do a large area clearance
tool path on a pocket tool path. So basically I have three bits here that I’m going to be using
in varying sizes to get down to the detail that we need.

forget to follow us on Instagram @ToolsToday. With the Oramask it's extremely important that
we use a down cut bit here as the down cut forces all of the chips down and does not
pull the masking away. If you use an upcut bit here it will just sit there and tear the mask up,
which is not what we want. This masking is going to help us get a nice painted edge
without having to do a ton of work with it. So we got the 46200-K picked up,
so that way we can get the finer details cut out. This bit is a 1/8 inch in diameter
so it's going to go into the areas that the quarter inch diameter bit could not get into. So
we're just filling out all of those small details again with that down cut bit it's leaving that
nice clean top surface which is exactly what you want to see when you're using Oramask like this.
So we're going through and getting all of that done with the larger area pockets,
and then we're going to get that switched out for the 1/16 inch bit. This is the 46233-K
and that is a 1/16 inch down-cut bit. So then this is going to go into all
those really really fine detail areas that only this bit is able to get into. That large area
clearance toolpath on the pocket, with the Vectric software is definitely a really nice feature to
have and definitely speeds up this process. So we got all of that cut out there, so now
we just need to cut the profile. I’ll switch out for the 46176-K 1/8-inch compression bit.
A compression bit has a up-cut portion at the bottom and a down-cut portion at the top of the
bit so it leaves a clean cut on the top and bottom surface of the material as long as that first pass
is below the upcut portion of the bit. If it's just touching the up-cut portion
it'll be just like using an upcut bit and may tear out the surface finish.
So we got that all cut out and we left some tabs here on the back so we can get that all
pulled off. I’ll use the fine multi-master cordless multi-tool to cut out all of those
tabs. So now that that is free we can stand up the piece and see what we've got going on.
Really like the way that this looks, and it will definitely look awesome with the paint. You can
see that chip-out-free cut on the top and bottom surface that we got with the compression bit.
So now I’ve got the MR-0110 mini round-over bit. This bit has a 3/16 inch diameter ball bearing
that's able to get into all of those really fine corners left by that eighth inch compression bit.
This is definitely something that most bits are not able to do and eliminates
all the sanding that would be necessary when you have tight corners like that.
So there was a little area here that popped off while I was vacuuming it up -- I actually
vacuumed this piece off -- so I needed to remake that with just an exacto knife; so that way the
paint doesn't get on the orange surface. Got some gloves and we'll get the paint all put on the
masking where we cut out. So we're just using some black paint here. This is an outdoor paint since
this will go outdoors, and then I’m using some green General Finishes milk paint, and emerald.
So we got the masking all pulled off. This is one of the most satisfying sounds ever,
so I’ll let you guys listen to that. I definitely love the way that this looks.
I'm not sure that there's anything more satisfying than seeing this masking all get pulled off.
I absolutely love the way that this is turning out. Using the down-cut bit with
the Oramask leaves really crisp edges on there so we have no cleanup work needed to
do at all after we pulled this masking off. So now that this one is done we can get it
set up in its final location at the house and I absolutely love the way that this piece turned
out as I said before we do have the plans available on our website so be sure to check
those out there I’m gonna let Caity do a bit of a sign-off. She was talking for Eli at the end,
and this is actually the first video that Eli will be in, so, definitely kind of a cool one.
But anyways hopefully you guys enjoyed this project. We'll catch you guys back out here in
the next one. Have a great day everybody. [Caity] That’s Eli.
You think that's Eli pumpkin? [Caity] ‘Cause Eli’s small.
Yeah? Which one's a Caity pumpkin?
What are the other two? [Caity] And… Momma, and Dadda.
Yeah. We have a family pumpkin stack! [Caity as Eli] Thanks for watching!
