I cut out these signs at school the other day on our CNC machine. One is cherry with black letters and black edging and the other is MDF. Hopefully they will hang in the shop for years to come.

Very nice looking signs. I’ve got a friend with a CNC machine trying to make me a jig for my kitchen cabinets.

He told me one time that he ever went back into the furniture business he would have one of those machines. He currently makes doors and windows for $10 Million dollar homes. He was making 36 sets for french doors out of teak for a house in Cape Cod when I was there a little while ago.

You are fortunate to have access to such a fantastic machine. The carpentry program where I taught recently received one and they are learning to do some awesome work.

A good sign! How do you program the CNC to make the design you want.

stefang, first I draw the image in a CAD program (AutoCAD in this case) then I put the file on a usb stick and bring it to our CNC machine. The machine has its own software to convert the CAD drawing to g-code (g-code is what the CNC understands) The as long as there are no issues you hit the big green button and let-er rip!
