No everything turns out as expected - this little item was intended as a butter mold but a mistake in the programming made the recessed knights into raised knights. It is now just a curiosity.

Just found this in the garage, I thought it had been dumped. It is the test sample I used for cutting signs that are longer than the working area of the router table. This was compiled with the Script font within the Mach3 write wizard and was cut in two stages. It was stained to make the characters more visible.

Come on all you guys, the idea of this thread was for YOU to post pics of items YOU have routed, it is not just for my stuff.

These were cut 4 mm deep in pine (smells beautiful whilst being cut). Incidentally it is a lot more difficult to compile a word with just one letter upside down than you might think.

You could take yours Jim - Looks like it doesn't need tracks.

Hi RC,

Yes you are right the files are stored in Adobe Illustrator format. I am lucky and have a friend who's work computer uses Illustrator and she converts the files to bitmap for me (during her lunch break, of course, not during working hours - well I believe her anyway).

Another piece of MDF cut 4 mm deep. Overall size approx 350 mm x 300 mm.

Sorry but I posted here the routed image of a Company Logo which is, of course, subject to copyright and I realize that I should not have done so.

If you happened to see this image please erase it from your memory.

Sorry once again,

Tweakie

Another picture of Gemme but this time with less reflections and the tool marks are now visible.

Another sample from VCarve pro this time with the carving filled with sandings in the top pic and wax in the bottom pic.

Cut in thinner stuff and filled in any colour these would make nice coasters.
