[@ForestWoodworks]

Great project and specific use of CNC clip art. This is a great resource for CNC woodworking artisans.

[@LeadDennis]

You are making it look so easy.

Can I carve this stool project with my desktop program?beautiful project!! Thanks

[@steinbierz]

I am loving these videos! I am just beginning in CNC routing and have been playing around with Adobe Illustrator to work on projects. My plan is to use AI and then Vectric Aspire to send them to my CNC. I see people in online videos using .AI, .SVG, .DXF, etc., and also see a lot of CNC files offered on Etsy and other places in various formats. I am still confused as to which type of file to use (or purchase) and I know that Aspire can accept all that I mentioned. I notice that your videos offer .DXF files and am just curious if this is the file type I should be working with and also, when in AI, exporting the file to Aspire as a .DXF file. Thanks.

I wish videos like this would give basics speeds & feeds... Thanks though.

I doesnt seem that accurate to just flip the part over and line it up on the profile mark in the spoilboard? I guess close enough?

[@bomberutkrec]

what rpm did you use with the dewalt 900W? Im new on this and have the same machine but im afraid of melitng the plastics

[@DCDLaserCNC]

For the acrylic job, you did not really need to screw it down to the table since it was fastened down with double-sided tape. Am I missing something as to why you fastened it down with screws?

[@HarmanRobotics]

It was so that he could cleanly cut the perimeter - which was inside where the screws were placed.

[@sawdust302]

Are you going to show the Shaper Origin?

[@davidcole333]

This is how you make mass produced crap to sell on ebay.

[@airwolf61970]

Cnc is not artisan nor is it woodworking I believe ethiclly. It should be disclosed that the art and carving were obtained using cnc.

[@danmays1935]

Actually, Chris did a pretty good job of full disclosure in the opening of this video. A simple slip of paper including that information with any sales of this step stool should satisfy your demands. While it is good to be finicky about ethical behavior, it is equally important to pay attention to spelling. (ethiclly) :-(

[@apocabike]

The title of the video makes that pretty clear

[@thefilthelement]

That's just a dumb statement, using a planer or chopsaw isn't woodworking either then

[@MuscleMustang07]

lmao if you're broke just say that
