What's the most useful thing you've made on your CNC?

Most of my early projects were decorative, but lately I’ve been making more practical stuff around the house. I’m curious what the rest of you have made that’s actually useful day to day. What’s the most useful thing your CNC has produced?

Boxes are always useful:

We don’t have CNC at work, and I have used my N4 to make and/or modify small batches of parts for prototype testing, avoiding the lead time of going to an external machine shop.

I was able to convince my boss to invest in 3D printing by buying a cheap printer (Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro) and having it delivered to work where I used it (we now have a Bambu H2D Pro with two AMS’s and an HT) , and hoping that I can do the same for small-scale CNC… :smiley:

Made several of these boxes with hidden compartments for grandchildren

For me its helper tools to do the tasks the CNC can’t do. Jigs and fixtures to drill holes in the side or a workpiece or at an angle, stuff like that
