hello , I'am fairly new to shopbot but in a short time I've tackled alot of different
types of projects. I inherited the machine , I never had plans on having one but now I'am hooked. I've been seeing and hearing about all the things you can do with plywood , any hints on the bits and helpful info on the subject. also i just seen a vynal cutter bit ??? thanks

I looked at the thread got some info. but still have some questions a video would be nice. when doing this on the shopbot what kind of bed do you install on the machine? And what software, I have V carve , 3-D Varve , and photon V carve. After I retired I took a job Traveling for a sign company and they did alot of cnc work but all vynal was done on a plotter. If I could do this with my machine could be a nice gig for some play around cash. i live on a large lake with alot of boats.

Videos on their website. Great tool. I have a piece of 1 inch melamine that I fasten to my table, then two sided tape the vinyl down before cutting. Russ
