Supplies
Tools:
CNC 6090/ Any size your laser engraver , we use power 80w
orbital sander
Software:
Materials:
wood block (mine was a 2" pine cube)
clearcoat

Start by sanding all six sides of the cube to your desired smoothness.
Keep in mind that you’ll only be able to do minor sanding after the engraving is complete.
You’ll need to run the laser five separate times, so it’s crucial to place the block in the same position each time.
The best way to ensure consistent placement is by using a simple jig.
I used a piece of scrap plywood with a 90-degree cutout to secure the cube.
Place the cube in the jig with the end grain facing up, and establish your working area for each side.
For this cube, I had a working area of 1.88”.

Choose a font for the letter on the top of the block.
I recommend experimenting with different fonts to find the best one for the specific letter you’re working with.
Create a square the size of your working area, then create an inset approximately 0.125” inside the square.
Combine the letter with the inset rectangle to form a single object,
allowing you to engrave the negative space and leave the letter with a border.
Next, select a font for the remaining text. I used the “Amita” font with sizes ranging from 20 pt. to 30 pt.
Optional: After creating your engraving designs, make a copy of each and set it for score lines to outline the engraving.
This adds a neat detail to your finished block.

Engraving settings: 30% power, 150 mm/sec speed
Scoring settings: 30% power, 50 mm/sec speed
Engrave each side of the cube individually, following the design.

Lightly sand the block to remove any scorch marks, and use an air compressor to blow off the dust from the engravings.
After reviewing the pictures, I noticed my block could have used a bit more sanding.
Apply a clear coat and allow it to dry completely. Finally, lightly sand the finished block to achieve a smooth surface.

I am a beginner at CNC, I’ve never used a CNC machine before and with in a day I was carving. An awesome machine for a beginner to learn as hobbyists. I used the manual and the help video. One hour to assemble and test, very friendly and easy to use. It’s a good buy for the money. I would definitely recommend this machine to someone getting into CNCs.
