With Mother's Day right around the corner I thought this would be a cool project to share. I created the 3D relief carving using Aspire, and I created bit maps of the carving to cut out the profile. I used a .25" 90 Degree V-Bit to complete the text engraving.


This was super fun to make and the LEAD CNC operated flawlessly!
