How to make epoxy signs part 1

Follow along as I walk you through, step by step, how to create a simple sign on the CNC.
I'm making this sign as a gift for a friends son. This process can be used to create these signs with any design.
carving an epoxy sign using the ‪@Bobscnc‬ quantum max, and ‪@bitsbitscompanyinc.8517‬ 1/8" downcut bit..

Appreciate it! I'll hopefully have that up soon!

Why don't you use a bigger bit to do the roughing pass before using the 1/8" (just thinking out loud)

[@littlecncshop]

You definitely can...and on bigger pieces I do. This was small enough that I could do it all with 1/8" in about the same amount of time as doing 2 passes.

​@littlecncshop why not use the "area clearance" tool path and step down from larger to smaller??

[@littlecncshop]

@@ClintonCaraway-CNC this was an area clearance. Switching to two bits would have saved me about 10 mins. If you read the description you'll see it's going deep, and fast. Wasn't worth setting up a 2nd bit to save minimal time.

How thick is your MDF?

This is 1/2"
