is the sign made yet? I would use two peices of 1" and route a groove in the center for threaded rod to fit.then epoxy the two peices together .I then have my welder put and eye bolt onto the rod.then counter sink at the bottom and use a washer and nut at the top.this also allows for you to...

This is the design that I am tring to work with.I want the flat version to be somewhat similar to the dimensional version.

Here is the second try with the shape cut out. I think i can make the middle top prizmatic and make it look good. We had to creat some pretty complex AI files to produce this.Hope to find a better way. Brian

This is the progress that I have made so far. Started by making a v groove with auto carve Then created a clean out for the bottom with W inlayed. Cant figure out how I am going to do the scroll work. Will have to have the carver do This by hand. This Design is very similar to how this...

hopefully the pic will come up this time.I dont have to copy the design excactly.just have to make it look good.

I was asked to create two versions of this peice.on flat and painted and the other in 3D.We have a very talented carver in the shop,but it is very time consuming and we wanted to take it as far as possible for him first.What kind of software would you design it on and what software would run the...

I would love to see some of the things that you have done with this software!I am tring to create a "Sheild" right now that is total 3d.I will try and post my progress,but i would love to see some things created with true 3d software. Thanks Brian The owners son will be coming in for...

Router Bits Feeds and speeds are important,but bit selection on certain materials is also important.I use Amana and Freud Bits most of the time.I try to stay away from the gerber bits.Very Expensive.But they are the only ones i know of that make a 1/16" sprial bit and a 1/4" with a 2 1/4"...

training Mark Training was hard to come by for me also.If you have a 408 that runs artpath,it does come with a simple training lesson that takes you step by step on how to use all the milling options.the lesson is also contained in the artpath manual.It does not use alot of material.I did to...

Thanks for the advice, I will look into those software titles.As far as design and vectorizing is concerened, that is a job for a designer, Which i am not and will never claim to be.I just the guy that has to make there crazy Ideas go from paper to product. Besides they will not touch a PC...

Just wanted to take a survey of what people arer using to run there router tables.We have a 408 with art path and auto carve. I am beginning to think that there is alot better out there for 3D carving.Any advice would be appreciated. Brian Dennis, I know you have enroute and art path...

Success!! The dibond worked great.I cut some small very clean letters with it.I used ADA applique as a backing and i held the letters rock solid.Usual problem with the pvc material.What is the trick to remove the chips.I am using a straight flute bit becuase the up cut would seperate the...

Dennis I have finally become a corian approved corian fabracator.They had to tour my shop and asked about my aplication and what the job i was bidding.they even wanted to know the name of the developer.and after passing a credit check i was told i was able to attend there fabracation class...

I odered a sheet of dibond it should be here tomorrow.The letters I am trying to cut are SMALL about 1 1/2 inches high.Thickness is not that important,but i do want to inlay the letters and numbers.I tried it out of my sintra-sheet aluminum lamate but the two kept seperating as usual.I am hoping...
