This video is a beginner's easy CNC project tutorial. This is a woodworking project that anyone new to CNC routers can tackle with confidence. I’m Garrett Fromme, CEO of IDC Woodcraft, and I’ll walk you through every step: how to design a simple CNC project, set up basic toolpaths, generate g-code, clamping your material, select and install the CNC bit, run the machine, and completing the final touches.
The project—a “This Is Home” sign—uses just one CNC router bit. While you can create this design in any software, I’ll demonstrate it in Vectric’s VCarve Pro software and on the Altmill CNC router.
