Tic Tac Toe

[Tim Lucas]

Been making some of the tic tac toe boards featured for Christmas on the Vectra site. Had a good time making these and my dad (lives in PA, 84 years young :eek:) is giving them away like crazy!! Sent him 3 - then 12 - now 20 more! :D Making them using spalted oak with clear, and maple for the painted ones.

Looks good Herb, I have a lady painting them for me and we have found that the paint is a little thick so I had to enlarge the cutout in the base so they would fit.

What type bit did you use on corian and what feed and speed rates did you use? I have a pocketed sign to do out of corian . My cut depth is .15 and I would like to use a 2 flute quarter inch bit . any suggestions on a feed and speed for this ? Thank you Gene

Gene,
Start slow and then add in speed as needed. I would use an Onsrud bit. The sharpest looking one in my pile.

I rarely cut Corian, but when I do......... I cut it on the Bot.

Gene , that was the first time I cut corian on my machine , although I have routed it before on the router table . I used a 1/4" 2 flute spiral down , I believe it was a Southeast Tool bit , I was @ 80 IPM and .125 depth per pass , I had the router speed dial to about 12000rpm , since it was first time on machine I went slow , cut fine could have went faster on the feed .
