The 30° V-Groove bit is a true workhorse for engraving, V-carving, and precision inlay work. With its 3-flute design, it delivers a smooth, clean finish, making it perfect for detailed lettering, sign-making, and high-quality inlays in wood.
These Feedrates are recommended starting points, each CNC is different and feedrates will vary.

Thanks to Ryan's great video on doing VCarve Inlays and the high quality 30 degree V Cutters that CIC sells, I just recently made this table and the Humming Bird Inlay was done with the CIC 30 degree V Bit.
The table is made from Curly Maple and the Humming Bird is Walnut and the Flower is African Rose Wood.
The table was made to donate for a fund raising event at our local cancer treatment center.
These bits simply work well, no drama, minimal chipout no fuss and little fuzz. I follow the recommended feed/speed and the resulta are consistent….which is what I want.
I'm building a couple of cedar chests for Eagle Scouts. Your Flag & Eagle inlay will be used on one of the side panels. The box style uses 5-panel construction. The front and sides have carvings and/or inlays. I've done 6 of these to date. Your graphic will be new to the design. The previous boxes also had an Eagle on on side. Your design will change it up to use the Flag and Eagle.
I used the Golden boy for ruffing and an 1/8” ball nose for details. First time using my CIC bits and ER collets. Supreme quality bits produce a spectacular cut!
The inlay worked perfectly. (Guess the theme I was going for.) I was a bit surprised that you offered the eagle inlay for free, but I did purchase a few other things because I thought that was fair. I have grown very fond watching you and your family as I make my own CNC journey. Thanks for all your help. I look forward to many years of CNC knowing I can rely on you and a few others for support.

This was the second time using the file for a cutting board. Both were given away as are all things I make on my CNC. Thanks CIC for great wood products and wonderful customer service.
Wow! This is the best surfacing bit I have ever used. Got a super smooth finish on a mixed hardwood cutting board that required just a quick once over to finish-sand prior to oiling.
I ordered three and received them in great condition. They were packed well and fast shipping. They look amazing and are more than what I expected. Great job guys
Directions and files worked well. My setup requires slightly slower feed rates and two passes to do the male, but when it was finally done, the two pieces mated perfectly.
I highly recommend this file.
Some people have similar inspirations. Literally days before I saw your video I was designing my own Gameday board as a Christmas gift. But I liked your measurements better than mine so I bought your kit and used your design to tweek mine. So far it's coming out great. I am sure a happy customer.
I used CIC project pack, lumber pack and rocking chair design to make the rocking chairs for the grandkids. The quality of these materials is so consistently good that you don't worry about problems in the wood distracting from the end result you are seeking.
Love CIC… watching the videos they produce provided valuable insight into the CNC world. Ryan’s descriptions and step by step process made it look easy, and is the reason I bought a CNC.
The rocking chair is awesome! Made for my friends first grandson… thanks Ryan and team!
