Wrecking my Brain

I am in the process of making US Flags with the pledge of Allegiance on the front and am having an issue making the stars. I use an RCK-360 v-bit for the stars and have used a quarter inch mill bit and a ball nose bit to clear out the flat areas between the stars. But both the end mill and the ball ...

Re: Shark HD Laser Attachment-Is it worth it?

Not looking for something to cut through the wood, just engraving. I'll mull over it some more. Thanks.

Re: Diamond drag engraving

I'm still learning how to use my diamond drag bit. It's called a drag because you don't turn on the router. it just drags across the metal engraving. I haven't quite figured out the pressure yet because it still leaves shadow of the engraving on the metal. Live and learn.
