Tell us your machine, bits and wood. We build V-carve and 3D G-code, tuned to your setup, so you can skip the CAM work and go straight to carving.
How it works
Pick a design
From our catalog, or send your own artwork or 3D STL file.
Fill out the order form
Your machine, bits and wood. About 5 minutes.
Get your files
G-code, a toolpath preview and a setup sheet in 2 to 3 business days.
Run the outline, then carve
Run the outline file with Z raised to check alignment and clamps. Then carve.

Setup and safety
Zero X and Y on the bottom-left corner. Zero Z on top of the board.
Run the outline first. Raise Z about an inch and run the outline file. It traces the edge of your job in a minute or two, so you can see it fits the board and clears your clamps.
Stay with your machine. Wear eye and ear protection.

Questions
What’s the outline file for?
It traces the edge of your job in the air without cutting. Run it with Z raised to check alignment and clamp clearance before you carve.
Will any STL file work?
Most will. We carve the top surface as a relief, so undercuts and the back side won’t carve. If a file can’t be carved, you get a refund before we start.
Why do 3D jobs take longer to run?
Finishing uses a small ballnose and fine passes. Expect a few hours. Your setup sheet shows the estimate.
What are tabs?
Small bridges that hold your piece to the board while it’s cut out. Cut them with a utility knife or flush-cut saw and sand smooth.
Why measure my board?
Boards are rarely their labeled thickness, and every depth starts from the top of the board.
Can I use a different bit?
No. Files are built for the bits you list. Ask for a revision if your bits change.
What if the carve comes out wrong?
Send a photo. If your order info was right, we fix the file free. Otherwise it’s $10.
Can you split a big sign into sections?
No. The job has to fit your machine in one cut.
Refunds?
Not once work starts, since every file is custom. If we can’t support your machine, you get a full refund.
Can you do my team or company logo?
Only if you own it or have permission. That goes for STL models too. We don’t convert trademarked logos or characters.
How do I get help?
Email us your order number. We reply within one business day. Troubleshooting answers most questions.
Can I sell what I carve?
Yes. Sell the carvings, not the files.
