I build these carriage house overhead doors for a local overhead door company. I bought a shopbot 1 1/2 yrs ago, and I'd love to use it to make these curved top window grilles for these doors. It would save me hours of work if I could put a sheet of goods on the table, program the grille into the computer, and let the bot do it.
About half of these doors I build are cvg red cedar left natural, so I have to build those grilles by hand. For the painted doors, a dissimilar material would work since it'll be painted.
What would be a good material that comes in sheet goods to cut these out of? My first thought was pvc (Azek), but the muntins are about 3/4" wide and I wonder if they would deflect when being machined.
I tried to attach an image of the doors, but the file size 80kb and the allowable upload size is 50kb. The file is a pdf. How do I re-size it so I can upload it?
Thanks,
Jim
