    I'm new to routers, but I use a laser for my signs. For 2 colors I'll paint the raw material, then mask it with vinyl sign transfer tape, engrave it, spray it with color #2 then unmask the material.

    Here is a single color masked then I just burned the wood with the laser. Here is where I get my masking Sign Warehouse And if that doesn't work they have vinyls specifically for spray masking, or sandblast masking I haven't experimented with any of these and a rotary cutter, it might take some experimentation.

    Hey bpoulin, that’s the best info I got so far, thanks for the info

    When you say “I just burned the wood with the laser” what guides the laser? I mean do you have the gcode or another code for this sign on your laser?

    It's a Chinese CNC laser engraver, 1200x800mm cutting area. Check out the laser engravers forum here on CNCzone.

    Sorry bpoulin, I know about the Chinese Laser Engravers. What I dont know is how the engraver knows where to burn the wood on that sign.
