Some of you may remember I posted some pictures and a short video of a CNC table I built. I have put a couple more simple videos on You Tube if you are interested. I have purchased a program called V-Carve from Vetric for $500 and a 2080 piece clip art collection for an additional $100 when purchased with the program. This program is
amazing! I can design parts, enter text, choice of many different fonts, import clip art such as animals, trees, designs, different occupation logos, etc and you can incorporate this all into your sign. It has a preview feature which shows the cutting operation in whatever type of wood or material, two or three dimentional which can be saved and printed, or emailed to a prospective customer so they may view it in a realistic mode
without ever turning on the machine. Too Cool! :banana:
My videos are relatively short because You Tube has a max of 100MB which limits me to about 4 - 5 minutes. I am taking these videos with a still digital camera in the movie mode so I can't really edit (start, stop etc). I have been experimenting making signs, plaques and engravings in various materials. It has so many possibilities it is difficult to describe what all it can do. I have yet to hook up my plasma cutter because there is so much yet to do in the router plus when you are playing, MDF if a lot cheaper than steel.![]()
My lates video is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCLdQtIm32I
My wife set up a Myspace page to show my different videos, etc. Http://myspace.com/monteleone55
