CNC 101 question ---multiple circles

Post by Hunter1876 »

Newbie.
I would like to know how to make multiple 1/2" holes in 3 or 4 rows on a piece of material
that is 36 x 5 1/2. I can't seem to find it in the tutorials.

Scott, I am assuming that the first two photos are buttons. Can I ask what the third photo is of?

Thanks
Richard

What do you use for the key "chain"? I normally just use the ball chain. Not sure if that is the correct name for it or not.
Are there any pics of your cribbage boards on the forum anywhere? I'd love to see them.
Thanks
Richard

This was a proto for approval, was going to ask customer for preference between split ring,stainless ball chain,and carabiner.
Personally like 'biner because that's what I use, BUT it's the only one that doesn't specifically say "Made in USA" which means the big C.
I use ones made in France, but haven't really searched much.
A Shopbot friend recommended this company;
http://www.ballchain.com/estore/merchan ... t_Code=4SS
Crib boards were based on a basic design,and then Kirk on the Northern Desktop made the first ones on the site. We've parted ways, but he may be a vendor for us. His Desktop is here in my house, but Dad financed him a router version of the Shopbot Desktop for his 2 year sweat investment.
Some pics of the dozen he made for a local shop are here if you scroll down.
Website being revamped.

First order based on our button quality and sight unseen by buyer went out to Camden Maine today:)
Think the market is untouched by good quality VCarving designs so far, laser guys have it, but if high quality, laser is NOT the same:)
