Hi Kevin,

Excellent work and a fantastic 'Permanent Picture'.

What size is the pcture and what cutter did you use?

Thanks,

Tony

Thanks Tony

The image is 6"x8" and I used a 60 degree engraving bit with a .01" tip from onsrud.

Very nice job Kevin, may I ask what machine you are using? I'm looking to buy a machine, but want a beginner model first. Not a 10,000 machine, but one under 5 grand at least, I'm just a hobbyist.

Welcome to the forum randy. Have you considered building your own machine? I believe Jay and a few others around here have built their own machines and they seem to be pretty happy with them. If you prefer to buy I think I would recomend taking a look at shopbot.
