Garage Sign

Made this garage sign for myself, as you can see in the pictures, I am a big Ford fan. Made this out of a piece of Select White Pine from Lowes.

Nice work Dave, I’ve had you subscribed on youtube for a while now.

Are you able to provide me with a link to the exact bit you use on most of your carves. I have seen you reference an Amana 90 deg a couple of times.

Is it this one? https://www.toolstoday.com/p-6015-in-tech-series-insert-v-groove-router-bit.aspx

Yes that is the one, they work great

I use the same cutter.
It works great and the inserts are cheap enough too.

@DavidDHoard So I picked up this router bit and its working pretty good but I seem to have more chip out in the thin areas (cutting pine) than I did with my 60 degree that I was using previously.

Would you be able to share your speeds and doc settings?

Thanks

Tim

Tim, I usually run a 40 ipm with a depth of .08 per pass.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot like that.

Tim I also forgot and made a cleanup pass on the v-carving as deep as the cutter will allow. Aspire let me set it at .344 deep, this helps clean up some of the lines
