A carved shop sign, part 4 of 7: Cutting it out

The board's edge is added to the job as a profile right through the stock. The job warns when it would be cut before the carving, Put in cutting order mends that, and the cut is ramped in, held on four tabs placed by hand, and started on the bottom edge.

A carved shop sign: the whole project

A carved shop sign followed from a blank drawing to a machine. A 600 by 300 mm board is drawn by typing its size; WORKSHOP is set in a carving font round an arc; a border band is made by two offsets; an emblem is traced from a picture. Everything inside the edge is V-carved, with an end mill clearing the flat floors; the outline is cut out last, ramped in, on four tabs placed by hand, starting on the bottom edge. The simulator finds nothing to fix, a job sheet and three programs are written, and the first program is framed, checked, started, paused, resumed and run to its end on a pretend router.
