CNC router projects! who has one?

[mmoses]

I am at work so I am not sure if the pics are working - Also mmoses if I am imposing on your post please let me know

I did a clock for a friend at work who is getting ready to have their first baby boy. Used the clock parts at Hobby Lobby and a Pine round at Home Depot. I also tested out my Frued keyhole bit. I will be honest - I was a bit “scared” if you want to use that word. I was using some bits and techniques I had not used before and did not want to mess up and start over.
I started with some test cuts for the motor and the key hole. Got it right on the 4th try



Here I used 3 blocks to make sure my center did not move and mark on the bottom to make sure I referenced the same spot when I flipped it over for face carve.



This the motor pocket and the key hole



I used a 1/8 bit for roughing and waste removal and a 90* bit for detail



All Done

look good! Love the vcarve detail.

Keep posting! this is why I started this thread.

You folks are rocking some awesome projects. I recently purchased an X-carve but have yet to get it cutting. Any advice as to table set up/features that you wish you had done from the start??

add some lights and room to run a hose for desk collection

Thanks to Martin for inviting me into his shop today. He has a very nice setup and was nice enough to show me the in & outs of his Shapeoko.

You are more than welcomed to come by and look at mine. I have the XL.



The assembly on the shapeoko wasnt bad. Maybe 6 hrs?



The other one I would look at is the Mill Right Mega V. That is gear driven and not belt driven but you are on your own for software.



Sorry, but the one on amazon looks like a piece of junk. You are super limited on bits and capacity.

I may take you up on the offer since I live in Pearland, so not too far away.

I thought the same at first about the Bob's on Amazon until I read all the reviews and watched a dozen or more YouTube videos. Definitely not on par with your machine, but also half the cost. But I also think you need your own software too.
