I’m Ryan, the founder of this group and a passionate CNC entrepreneur. I’m super excited to have you all here. This community is all about helping each other grow, learn, and create with CNC machines—whether you’re just starting or looking to take your skills to the next level. Here’s a little about me: - I’ve been working with CNC machines for 10 years, building a business and helping others do the same. - My favorite thing about CNC is turning a simple design into a product that people love. - Fun fact: I love Bourbon and Tequila, and have over 100 bottles in my collection/stash Now it’s your turn! In the comments, let us know: - Your name and where you’re from - What stage are you at in your CNC journey (just starting, hobbyist, business owner, etc.)? - What you’re most excited to create or learn with CNC - A fun fact about yourself! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing what amazing projects we’ll create together!

Hey everyone im a commercial sign fabricator and all around tinkerer i have a 4x10 plasma table and a 4x10 cnc router .

I live on the big island of HI. I grew up in IN and traveled through most of mainland for work. I have a woodworking and laser business. Recently expanded into CNC. I make lots of stuff. Cabinets, jewelry boxes, signs, cutting boards. I’d like to make smalls for my farmers markets and craft shows. Hoping cnc will give lots of new and faster production to increase sales. I have access to lots of amazing woods like Koa, monkeypod, mango, Milo, kamani , lychee etc as well as domestics. Been woodworking for over 35 years. Just recently believed I was good enough to sell my work. Really want to learn to add furniture templates to my machine. Such as Chippendale chairs, 3d panels for projects, joinery, and garden benches, etc. I’m part of another community on Skool here one of my friends recommended this to me as I’m expanding my business. Currently I have a few custom orders to complete. I just got an order for another box on Sunday with a Celtic cross to be cnc’d or laser engraved on top. Person gave me total artistic license. Here some pics of recent builds. Don’t have pics of it completed for some reason. Xcarve 1000x1000. Www.graywoodworksdesigns.com

Hello I’m a total cnc virgin, I finally bought my first hobby Cnc it’s a FoxAlien Masuter 3S, it arrived yesterday and I’m itching to set her up but I have family coming to visit over Christmas so I have to wait until NewYear before I can get going. I must say I’m a bit, well a lot actually, daunted as I know absolutely zero except for the YouTube videos I’ve watched, I have no clue about what bit to use for what process or anything. Is there any suggestions where I should start ? I was recommended a set of Gemnitsu 1/8th bits are they of real use? I hope so… As for me I live in the UK, I have 2 dogs and 4 budgies and my new baby is called FoxAlien 🤣🤣🤣 I look forward to learning from you all, please be patient with me. Have a lovely day and thanks for reading my little intro 🌻🌻🌻

Hello folks :)
