CNC Wood Engraving Colour In fill HOW

[Unknown Member]

Greg from National engravers on his forum might be able to advice on this? His done some bits for me in the past with infill in metal

[Simon Worrall]

Put a piece of stencil vinyl down before engraving, and cut through both the stencil and the wood.
Then fill in as normal and remove stencil.

I can remember making a house sign in woodwork we used a liquid plastic

[Martin Pearson]

quote Fatbloke50:

I have a small CNC machine I want to use to engrave wood for door numbers / house names.

How do I colour infill the engraved text ?

Sorry if this is a silly question but using a paint brush doesnt give a nice edge.

Thanks

It will if you use the right type of brush & take a bit of care, you will also need to seal the wood before painting to prevent paint bleed. Paint mask, application tape etc can be applied before carving which may also help as Simon says. You really need to invest in some proper sign writers brushes to get the best results.

If you take the time to introduce yourself & tell people a bit about yourself & what you do you will also find you get a better response to questions.

We do these by sealing the surface with varnish, V bit routing, then paint the lettering and sand it back lightly on the surface and re-varnish the whole thing. Leaves nice sharp edges to the lettering etc.
