Inlaid cutting boards

First, a great big welcome to LJ’s, you will love it here. Second, great idea, not only could you do names, but logos etc, which would be really cool. When you can, upload pics of your shop and your CNC. We have had several posts by LJ’s that have built their own CNC’s and they are always amazing.
Looking forward to more of your posts!

These are nice cutters and personalizing them in this fashion is a wonderful idea.

Nice post. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Beautiful cutting boards. I too would like to see your workshop. Amazing what can be done with a storage container. Like to see more of the cutting boards too.

welcome to lumberjocks !

Great looking and unique!! I’m always amazed when someone carves out a new niche in a somewhat crowded market. I, too, would like to see your CNC setup. As others have said, welcome, and thanks for sharing!!

Nice personal touch to your cutting boards. I am with the rest of the guys. Pictures of your shop and info on your CNC. Thanks for posting.

Nice idea.
Are you using a V-bit to route the lettering and then a mirror image V-bit inlay to create the insert (VCarve style)? Or it this a traditional flat inlay?

Good job, how ever you did it,

The inlays are 1/8” material, inlaid into pockets that are CNC’d into the board. I use 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 end mills (no router bits) for the majority of the owrk, depending on the finesse of the cuts I’m making. The CNC machine is 100% home-built, using internet ideas, HobbyCNC drivers and stepper motors, BobCad, Mach3 and my own design for the frame, linear bearings and leadscrews. It’s accurate to .001, runs flawlessly and has almost 2000 hours of run time. It’s not super fast, about 40 IPM, but it’s rock solid and reliable. I uploaded some photos of my workshop under my “Workshop”.
