Using Carbide Create to cut board. The field lines went great. when doing the logos, the 30 deg bit was leaving taller lines in the center field and endzone logos. I changed the tool path in Carbide Motion to an Advanced V Carve and it took much less time and cut everything down to the max depth that was supposed be.
Although you cant see the feet, they are on this piece and they make the project look way classier and much more appealing. I’ve made literally hundreds of boards of all kinds and for years I've used the rubber feet with the stainless screws. Yes, they work and I’ll use them again on some projects but for these premium inlay project and epoxy boards, I’m sold on the upscale appearance of these.
The Golden Boy XL performed great. I needed a longer roughing bit to route out control cavities in guitar bodies, and extended flute length works really well. I was able to do a 2D adaptive strategy at full depth (in my case 30mm). Total time for the cavity was maybe 4min. Really impressed. I used the recommended speeds and feeds for a hobby CNC w/ spindle, at 15% optimal load. Wood was poplar. In harder woods I'll likely dial the optimal load back some, but time will tell. 100% recommended.
The kit arrived well package as usual. I can't be more happy with how this turned out. I made it for my friend's son as a gift. He loves this team. Thanks again for another great kit and product!
Loved the maze kit, was my first build ever from a kit, and it turned out perfect! I just gave the maze to my next door neighbor's granddaughter and she loves it! I have purchased and received 3 more maze kits and will be using them as Christmas presents. Thank you Ryan and all of CIC!

used the 1/16 to reach the areas that my 1/8 o-flute missed or left rounded. I'd never used a bit that small before, so i used really safe numbers for the speed/feeds. 13mm/sec, DoC:.4mm, plunge=3mm/sec
My first order with CIC after following along on YouTube. Love you guys. The process was smooth and the packaging is absolutely perfect. You can tell they take their time and ship it properly. This project came out perfect. It’s now on display / for sale in my shop at the United States Military Academy, West Point. Huge football following here for Army. I also have the large flag to do now, and I can’t wait to get that out on display.
This was a fun project to cut out on my new Shapeoko CNC, and was one of my first cuts from plans. I learned a great deal, and was inspired to buy two of your inlay kits to begin learning inlay creation and production. Thanks for all you do to support the CNC community.

Been woodworking for years but relatively new to CNCing. This project was a ton of fun. The kit was very good and complete, but the real benefit was the accompanying video which made this easier and a good learning project for a newbie. Looking forward to using this at my next tailgate!
I made a few adjustments to the file and everything turned out great. I can’t wait to create more versions of this product. Thanks CIC for offering such solid foundations for us to build upon.
I buy lots of material and bits from CIC. I’ve found the products to be superb. These are some projects I recently made for a craft sale. Ryan’s videos have taught me a lot. Thanks much.
Ryan was kinda spot on about the time savings by using premade panels. As a small garage shop business, I lost days at a time trying mill, glue and surface panels. By adjusting my workflow and products around two uniform sizes, no only am I able to keep the CNC humming daily, I spend less time trying to mill everything to the same size or spend time trying to program around various dimensions. Every program gets dialed in one and done. Well done, Ryan! You’re on to something and your new business model should be wildly successful!!
An easy carve and beautiful result! I downsized it to fit the Cherry workpiece I had and spent a little extra time sanding with finer grit to get the shine I wanted. Added a chamfer to the edges and rubber feet to the underside to give it a bit of pop.
