    I needed a way to put my brand on the bottom of some wood bowls I've been making without the laser burning the brand name off center and ruining the bowl. Sounds like a job for the LEAD CNC. Thanks for watching, and please remember to follow me on instagram for more cool stuff.

    Turned out great @Jacob Tabor I like how you set it up in the drill press so you can jig the bowls. Nice work man thanks for the share.

    Just started trying to learn enough Fusion 360 to be able to make a second attempt at creating a brass branding stamp for my wood projects. I've done a few things on my Leads 1010 but only using the software from Openbuilds. Want so share some F-360 insights on how to get the design project from CAD to G-Code with a CNC newby? I pray I can be as successful as you have obviously been. KaDee's Rusty Blade Creations

      Aww thank you! I will tell you what I will make a youtube video about the brass one I'm planing on making right now. I will make sure I send you the link. :)

      Thank You Jacob. I was terrified to ask for help since I don't understand how forums work and therefore that was my very first post. I appreciate the kind response. But, You tube, I do understand so that looks like a success path. In the interim, I have already developed my design on Fusion 360 and I think it is a unique logo/graphic. So I can't wait to take the 3D vector drawing from CAD to the next stage of calculating tool paths, so I can cut it. THANK YOU JACOB! KaDee

    This was cool. I would have been scared to use my good v bits on aluminum. I think there would have been a cheap one coming on the slow boat for me if I were to try this. Also, I like how it brands your name the right way. If that were me it would have taken me until the first brand was made to realize I forgot to reverse it. ;)

      Thanks man I believe it was something like 250mm/min and about 4 passes around moving in slowly.
