I don't have a picture to share, but can tell you what I have done. I used the dust collection kit from a Craftsman system for my piping. This is smaller and the connector ends fit perfectly into the 2 1/4 inch opening of the dust collector. I suspended a rod from the ceiling down to approximately 4...

Thank you very much Roger. Excellent advice. Would you be willing to mention just a few of the fonts you prefer.

Joe......that's great advice no matter what you are working with. I have both in my shop and they ARE used along with safety glasses and hearing protection. Thanks for the reminder of safety.

I am using the same software as you are Joethegasman. I will need to get a couple of bits but that is doable. Thank you for the input. If you or anyone else has a suggestion on working with cedar and a suggested font I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks...Iwejan

I'm a fairly new CNC owner and after a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I have started work on some very basic signs. I would like to know from those more experienced than I, what is the best bit or bits to use, and any suggestions on working with cedar boards. I should also add that any sugge...

First, let me thank all of you for the information on my post. The majority seem to be in favor of not using a single line font and that is what I will do first. I'll let you know how this works out.

Would it make it better if I change the font to a multiple/double line and perhaps use a different carving path if that's what you call it? It is only text. As you can see, I don't think I'm anywhere near ready to try importing a sha...

Please help. I'm new to the use of a CNC. I have watched as many video's and tutorials as I can find, but apparently must have missed one or two as I cannot get my first project completed. The project is nothing more than a 5.5 X 16 inch flat sign with two lines of text using the Helvicka font. Ever...

Thank you drueth. That did take care of the problem. Glad there are people like you to guide the likes of me.

Need some help. While setting up wording in a text box, I apparently performed a keystroke of some type that caused all of my words to appear in the text box vertically rather than horizontally. I have tried everything I know of to correct the issue, but after entering the text and either moving the...
