For those that were curious about my process on cutting out these signs, here’s a look at how I did it.
First I sanded down the plywood to 220 grit, cleaned it and then stained it. I let it dry overnight. I gave it a quick wipe down of any remaining excess and then laid down the Oramask 813. I just used a soft rag as I went along to smooth out the mask as I stuck it down.
Then I created a toolpath to cut the outlines of the letters around 0.03” depth just enough to score the masking material and I peeled up the remnants. I did this because in earlier tests the cutting was putting side pressure on the mask and causing a lot of it to lift off the material.
The the CNC did its thing clearing out all the letters nicely. There were still a few sharp corners of mask that lifted up, so I cut off what wouldn’t stick anymore and laid down some fresh vinyl to then hand cut with a razor blade. All in all a pretty simple process. Next these letters get painted white and the mask will come off.
