Simple Sign Project

Signs are a favorite project for Shapeoko owners and one that many Shapeoko owners have found to be very profitable.

We'll take the same sign and show two different executions: a paint-filled sign, and the sign made of letters cut out, and glued onto the background.

Here's what you'll learn:

• How to trace images.
• How to edit curve nodes to clean them up.
• How to group and ungroup vectors.
• Using variables to set cutting depths.
• V-carve toolpaths.
• Manually nesting parts to cut.
• Using Oramask to make painting easier.
