I've been wanting to play with the V-Carve capabilities of the BobArt software. This was made with a 1/8" endmill to clear and a plain old 3/8" 90 degree chamfer cutter. It is cut to .125" depth. The program did a nice job making a 3-D effect on the lettering. The sign is for the "Epiphany Rock" - a 700lb piece of white quartz that was being discarded after the previous owners' disturbing attempt to break it with a 12lb sledge were thwarted. It had a sign saying "U-Haul" that Val spotted so I retrieved it with the tractor and we put it where I can see it from the shop window. It is a nice place to sit and think about machining problems...
