Gerry,
thank you for getting back to me, I appreciate it. I’m super new to the forum (haven’t actually purchased the Shapeoko yet, but I am shortly), and wasn’t sure if you would see the question. I was very interested in the piece that you had created as it had the look of items I plan to make. My plan is to cut championship belt plates from brass on the machine. They will have recessed area for paint (about .040" deep) and some other detail work. I have made similar items before, but using acid engraving. It’s just too messy and unpredictable. Then the step where to get the contour shape, I’d have to get a metal cutting bandsaw. I’m trying to simplify things.
Again, thanks for getting back to me.
Gord
