I'm cutting out shapes with a computer controlled router / cut-out tool. I did most of these for table tops. The grayish circle in the middle is a dime. Well - these circles, ovals, squares & rectangles are some of the basic shapes that can be created in the CNC software. The plaques, duck, star, heart & unicorn are free carvings I download from the internet - a set of 2000!! The CNC software comes with a small set of fancy carvings also: Filagrees, rosettes, shells, Fleur de Lis, etc. Think carved like a fireplace, ceilings, headboards... I'm just doing an outline of the carvings & cutting them out at this point. You'll notice the unicorn did not come out very well - it was reduced from 8" to 3" - it also lost detail because the cutting bit is too large to cut the intricate shape - 1/8" dia. cutting bit. The wood is baltic birch plywood - it is approx. 12"x24"x1/8". If anyone would like to suggest any shapes - I'm doing another cutting soon!! If the shape is not available I can draw it in Sketchup & import it into the CNC software.

Cutting out shapes with a computer controlled router / cut-out tool. Circles, ovals, squares, rectangles are drawing tools in the CNC software. They can not be angled - if you wanted the grain at an angle. The plaques, duck, star, heart & unicorn are free carvings I download from the internet. There were 2000 all together. The CNC software comes with a small set of fancy carvings also. Filagrees, rosettes, shells, Fleur de Lis, etc. You'll notice the unicorn did not come out very well - it was reduced from 8" to 3" - it lost detail because the cutting bit is too large - 1/8" dia.

I finally designed a piece of furniture in the CNC & Sketchup software that actually cut & routed accurately enough to fit together! Lots of trial & error. I got some 1/8" baltic birch plywood for about $1/sq' - I probably won't be using it for furniture anymore as it requires a bit of sanding, instead maybe use it for dollhouses/roomboxes. For furniture or smaller items - poplar will work, but cherry is even better. I have an old cherry table-top I need to slice up into thin stock.© MP2014

I just picked up the Dremel Trio on ebay & have the Dremel 300 - my question is does the Trio do what the Dremel with the shaper / router table would do , or do they do different things ? Just figured I'd ask before buying the table , thanks.
