This is the digital download containing the files to make a “wok spatula” on a CNC machine, along with a step-by-step set of directions on how to make it. Included is the original design file done in Autodesk Fusion 360, along with all the CAM/toolpaths for cutting the project. A fully setup and tested Vectric VCarve 12.5 file is also included. If you don’t use Fusion or VCarve, then the STL model is also included so you can set it up in your preferred CAM software.

If you want to open the VCarve file, then you must have Vectric VCarve 12.5 or higher! Vectric Aspire can also open the file.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The inlay versions are only setup in the Autodesk Fusion file.
The VCarve file only has the basic spatula shape setup for machining (no colored wood, no inlays).
A DXF for the colored woods version is provided, but toolpaths are only setup in Fusion for it.
Stock size: 14” x 3.5” x 1.250”
Speeds and Feeds will likely need to be changed for your machine!
Two inlay options: Hibiscus and Tree
