In this video I show how to add unique juice grooves and board shapes to cutting boards with a CNC. Also included are some tips for elevating cutting boards and a new food safe finishing option. There are several Vectric VCarve tutorials included. However, you can use the timestanps to skip around them if you don't need it.

This video was made possible by i2R (Imagination to Reality) CNC's. To take a closer look at my machine, the B.24, as well as their other machines and products, check out their website at https://www.i2rcnc.com
