A bit about our beginnings...

.

CNCKing.com started life in 2007 as a passion for designing CNC toys and through the years became a huge resource to learn how to CNC, it has evolved several times over those years and most recently, I decided to disable digital files purchases so I can concentrate full time on my other business CNCROi.com.

Thanks to all my customers and supporters though the years, I absolutely loved building this site and always cherish this as my beginnings. This site is now just a placeholder of my design passion, it opened so many doors for me and it’s how I began in the world of CNC.

Practiced little flat fluxcore GMAW as I've been doing so much stick SMAW recently at CNCROi.com.

Flat position looks good, a little rusty but happy with the results regardless.

Welding is more fun that golf, far more challenging... always something new to learn.

Today CNCROi.com will make a custom Corian sign blank for a customer that wishes to finish it up on their own but didn't have the equipment to get it to the point you see in the end of this blog post. Corian is a solid surface material, generally used for countertops but I've found it makes for a fantastically durable and quite nice looking signage as well, it can be easily machines (if you have the right machines and bits) and paint fills perfectly....

CNCROi.com needs a welding fixtures table, so I'm

CNCROi.com needs a welding fixtures table, so I'm designing one based on watching far too videos and company options out there using elements I liked from this mishmash in my head.

Will be roughly 4ft x 5ft, use 3/4" holes and have 5 sides. Looking at using either half inch or 3/8" plate for the top and four sides... HEAVY!

Welding tables have two purposes, to hold stuff with precision when being welded and to act as a heat sink while it cools to minimize distortion.

Roughly a year and a half attending college Welding courses... learned a ton, graduate in April, this guy needs to be designed and built by year end so I can take on precision welding projects with absolute repeatability at CNCROi.com.

A big mdf glueup that will form a 3 dimensional UV

A big mdf glueup that will form a 3 dimensional UV printer jig, it's basically a full sheet cut into 5 pieces then glued together.

CNCROi.com will use one part of this as a proof of concept, then the other part for the actual jig, to be manufactured this coming week.

Flatness is very important, so will be shaving both sides before making the jig.

This project created a custom steel plate MDF jig

This project created a custom steel plate MDF jig using our CNC router at CNCROi.com. The applications for jigs are endless, each product, whether printed, etched or carved into, in volume, requires a custom jig in order to achieve repeatability and accuracy in a production setting, and yes, CNCROi.com makes those using a variety of materials, MDF through Acetal to Aluminium!...

This is the custom aluminum grid table under my thermwood cnc router spoilboards at CNCROi.com.

This is where the vacuum is established, thus creating awesome holding power.

My previous thermwood didn't have this, it used another sheet of mdf within an aluminum tray, worked great, but this provides a whole other level of suction and support for projects that I didn't know I needed before I got it.

Need a custom clay embossing stamp? CNCROi.com mak

Need a custom clay embossing stamp? CNCROi.com makes them using any material you want but generally, we make them out of acrylic. Acrylic makes for the perfect custom clay embossing stamp because the clay doesn't stick to it as readily as other materials, such as wood or rubber. When it comes to making custom clay embossing stamp, the only real limitation we hit generally are details that are too small for the clay to accept, remember, we are dealing with a fine clay, not ink, as such, you don't get as much detail with a solid as you would with a liquid....

Simon needed a bigger custom Lego storage box for his growing collection of bricks so I decided to make one for him perfect to his requirements. The material I made this custom Lego storage box out of was 5/8" MDF, it machines very well, glues great and sands fantastically. CNCROi.com always has a digital version of the designs we fabricate, this helps proof the design but more importantly, end-up being the files we use to communicate with our CNC equipment, regardless of which one, as to what we will ultimately tell it to make for us....

CNCROi.com makes custom awards and plaques however you want, in this case, these are custom PCB board plaques that celebrate carbon emission savings. As luck would have it, I lost large portions of the photos and videos of this custom PCB board plaques project but luckily, the process involved with making these is something I had other videos and photos looking for a purpose laying around so I'm using those to explain how these were made....

Steel machine equipment plates can be customized however you wish by CNCROi.com, from material type and gauge (thickness) to color, when we make them using anodized aluminium. For this project, CNCROi.com used plasma cut 12 ga 304 stainless steel that was then fiber laser etched permanently. CNCROi.com could have used laser or even our waterjet for this custom steel machine equipment plates project as we were sanding the surface on both sides anyways but the plasma was already warmed-up from a previous project so I threw the sheet of 12 gauge 304 stainless steel 2B and proceeded to cut out two rectangles to the customer's spec....
