The aluminum cut VERY slowly because I didn't have the correct bit on hand, and I was using the stock spindle on the X-Carve. I set the letters to be cut as an outline (outside the shape) to match the previous pockets cut out for the letters.įor materials, I used a scrap of 1/2" teak and a 1/8"x12"x12" piece of aluminum. I duplicated the file, and removed the outer shapes.
I set the cut depth of each shape to it's desired amount, depending on if it was engraving or cut through. I drew two rounded rectangles, to act as screw holes, and spaced them evenly. I added some text, and center aligned all three pieces. I duplicated that shape and scaled it down a little so it fit about 1/2" inside. In Illustrator, I drew a rounded rectangle 12"圆" See the follow up video about how awesome the upgrade was at /watch?v=JtIprkZP-t.Īmzn.to/1MzuWAN - Aluminum sheet (1/8"x12"x9")Īmzn.to/1GH6cQt - Endmill bit for cutting aluminumĪmzn.to/1RaQzGy - Dewalt DWP611 Trim router I used my cnc to make an aluminum and teak license plate.Ĭheck out Gorilla Glue to find the items used in this video bit.ly/1MPKgsY
