CNC Skull

[WJScrews]

I was able to create this 11x11 Skull and Cross Wrench plaque. I have a small engraving business and recently purchased my CNC Shark in order to add another dimension to the plaques I already make. So I plan to continue to post our creations on here for all to see. So enjoy and if you have questions please let me know I am willing to share what I can with other wood workers however some things I make come with copyrights so I will not be able to share those. I also have a laser engraver and plan to combine both aspects of CNC routing and laser engraving to create some cool stuff.

Very nicely done. You say that you recently purchased your Shark. You certainly are learning a lot faster that I did. Congrats!

Thank you, The only reason I seem to be learning fast is that I have had a Laser engraving machine for 3 years now and a lot of the design process is the same I simply have to change the how I output the file and of course use the tool-paths for the CNC where as the laser does not have tool paths it uses speed and power so the learning curb for myself has been faster then most i think.

great job can i purchase the plans for the skull

No need to purchase I got this Skull from a site that had it for a free download enjoy. The file is in eps. format which is easily imported to Aspire or VCarve after import you can choose the vectors and tool you want to use. I used a 90 Degree V Groove bit to carve the skull and a 1/8 inch end mill to cut out the skull. The wood used was pine select and was 3/4 in thick.
