my new litho

Post by tonydude919 »

Here is my new litho. It is 5x7 inches 1/4" corian. Used .125 ballnose for rough and .0625 ballnose for finish. Took 3hrs total cut time.

That really looks great Tony. I have PhotoVCarve but have not used it yet. Can you give me your settings and I will try to carve a piece of 5x7 1/4" Corian. Again, that is a job well done.

Thanks,

Gary

Nice job. It appears you back-lit yours. Did you use LED's? Did you use a diffuser? Dale

Looks great Tony. What do you use for a power supply for the LEDs?

Thanks

Great job Tony! May I ask, where do you get the corian? I'd like to get some but I find that they are pricey. I just like to find the best price for some corian so I can make some & get my feet wet. Thanks,
Bigfoot
