Wood Sign Making – First Steps: Fusion 360 + CNC machine

I tried my hand at wood sign making with a CNC machine that was installed at my school. I made two hand lettering wood signs for my nephews’ bedroom doors. I go from design (CAD software Fusion 360) to making a wood sign on a CNC router. This is not meant to be a full tutorial but just a rough outline of the steps you have to take.

## Partners and “Advertisement” label ##

I explain the details in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1dMYEi5Nh8

I want to let you know that I cooperate with a couple of tool companies. Occasionally, they provide me with some of their tools for me to use in the shop.

But: Whenever you see me using a tool it means that I like it and think it’s worth using. When I do a review, I tell you my honest opinion.

I want to be transparent about these partnerships, however, so that you’re not kept in the dark and can make up your own mind if you think I’m in fact unbiased or not.

My partner companies are: Bessey, Kreg, Maschinenhandel Meyer, Triton, Bosch Professional, PNZ Produkte (as of 04/2020)
