    Sold about 25 corian cutting boards in 6 hours.
    Used the bot to put in drip trays and v carved names on them so it turned out well.
    Handed out a lot of business cards and talked to a lot of people so I hope we will get more business from that.

    Sounds like you may not have charged enough
    Excellent for a first show.
    Did you put any contact info on cutting board itself ?

    Use a wedging jig?
    You can get pretty small with something like Franklin Gothic Demi Bold and a 45VBit and still be unobtrusive and legible.( Drillman1's on E-Bay little $4 1/8's are great for that, as you can always afford to throw a new sharp one in.)

    Kyle I try to stay with his Kyocera Tycom brand, but bought some of these from 30-90 degree and hard telling the difference. Celtic buttons were done with these in a 90- and just used his 1/8"EM in old dry Rosewood with excellent results. He has an 8 piece set with the full range 30-120 degrees for $40 that looks good for playing.
    Haven't cut Corian, but Black Walnut through Bloodwood, .8-1.1, .4-.6, 14-16K at 1/2 diameter passes--Usually duplicate toolpath/edit and then run a 1.6-2.0,1,16K clean up pass if needed(still working on best depth for speed, but .09"pass works good for quality).
