I would like to make a arcade stick housing in wood and mill some text or icons or whatever in it.
What would be the ideal solution? I have seen alot of nice housings and boxes with machine milled graphics and/or letters in the wood.. looks awesome.
Would like to do it myself but aint sure if there are any good solutions within reach?
I wouldnt mind buying a woodmill if its small but they cost a fortune right? Any tips?
Having someone else do it:Contact a nearby woodworking store, plaque maker, craft store, or trophy shop.
Doing it yourself:Check out the Mostly Printed CNC
here.
The regular "525" version should work well for you, but the "LowRider" version is probably too large.
A YouTube search for "MPCNC" provides tons of useful and informative videos.
The standard build size has a 2' x 2' cutting area (600mm x 600mm) but you can build yours larger or smaller.
You can mount a variety of tools on the MPCNC like a router spindle, drag knife, pen, foam cutter, 3D print extruder, engraving laser, plasma cutter, welder. . .
