Thanks Erik. I used your file and modified the outer part to UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. I am going to cut it 10" diameter so all the detail will show. The G-code file is something over 49000 lines!...
I have a jpeg that I need converted to DXF. I have a friend in the Marines that I want to make a custom Coaster for. I have tried to import a wmf file in to Autocad but it says no way. Is there an...
I used 6-32 socket head machine screws through the board. Drilled and tapped into the anchors(DuPont Corian) The letters were made from 1/4" aircraft plywood. I made them 1/4" longer on the bottom so...

Hello the group. I have not posted in about a year. I need some help. Can someone please convert this Coast Guard insignia to DXF for me. I have been beating my head against the wall with PaintShop...
This is a sail I make for wind chimes. The holes are to mirror it and engrave the other side. Also makes a nice HOT pad. I use DuPont Corian. Take different color spray paints and spray on it and...
BCNC,
Here is a squirrel I drew to make a sail on a wind chime. With teeth and without.

Here is yet another sleigh.
I eat and write left handed. I throw, hammer, twist a screwdriver right handed. I can drive a nail with either hand....the left is not as strong as the right so I normally use the right. Being able...
Salty do a search for laminate flooring. You will find tons of it. I have some that looks like oak in my living room. It is much more scratch resistant than real oak. It locks together on all edges....
I drew this butterfly to use as a sail for my windchimes.
Ray the starfish looks good. I have not cut it yet. Still cleaning it. I wish I could find a sand dollar too.
I thought I would pass along how good Dupont Corian and other look alikes work for engraving and the like...signs plaques(spelling?). Woodworking tools will cut it just fine but the stuff is tough....

I built basically the same as you. Mine have a fixed nut in a tube and another nut with a flange on it clamped in the other end of the tube. Turn the flanged nut toward the fixed nut until it...
Swede I share your interest in RC airplanes. The problem is my CNC hobby is hurting my flying. I find myself playing with the router when the weather is right for RC. I have had my router running for...
Go to this site for download of 3.34b. The worst bug I have found in it is when you start up Kcam it starts with pin 1 that I use for the spindle control running. There is not a button to turn it...
