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.

Simon needed a bigger custom Lego storage box for

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

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 h

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....

Good progress on my vertical weaving at CNCROi.com

This is what undercut looks like. My focus tonig

This is what undercut looks like.

My focus tonight was on getting a consistent weave... tomorrow, I'll work on undercut, which is an easy fix... just put more heat in there, and the metal melts back in the cavity... just got to slow down a bit on the edges.

The importance of welding education is that you know not only why a weld fault occurred but how to fix it!

Vertical SMAW E7018 1/8" @ 120 amps.

Got a solid 3 hours of vertical instruction in the morning at college ahead of me, this is just extra practice.

I'm pretty happy with the progress I've made tonight after a few hours of 3F 1/8" E7018 SMAW.

Welding is a never-ending push towards absolute perfection that's never achievable as there is always something you can do better.

Practicing my vertical fillets using SMAW (stick) 1/8" E7018 at CNCROi.com.

Little rusty, but nothing a few more hours can fix.

Running at 120 amps.

The card is laser etched using our laser with accurate measurements... excessively wide fillets are on purpose. Generally, you wouldn't want to exceed half an inch... I have 2"!

Letting my quad plate cool down before overlaying this with more weaves... trying for that totally smooth, glass like appearance as usual.

Making a custom magnetic puzzle jig allows our cus

Making a custom magnetic puzzle jig allows our customer to make repeatable work using their UV printer onto metal objects with precise positioning. Most of the jigs CNCROi.com fabricates for customers are made out of MDF, it's the great default material to begin with then go from as volumes and quantities go up with tougher materials. The major advantage of MDF is that it's relatively easy to acquire, machine and work with in a production environment....

Need some custom industrial machine lamacoids? CNC

Need some custom industrial machine lamacoids? CNCROi.com makes those to whatever spec you require! Keep in mind that we can also produce custom metal tags and other items such as industrial stencils that you can use on your equipment. The major advantage of lamacoids over stainless steel or anodized aluminium is the contrast they provide, and the wide selection of finishing colors available....

Let's make a custom metal cottage sign at CNCROi.c

Let's make a custom metal cottage sign at CNCROi.com using our CNC plasma cutter from 12 ga hot rolled mild steel! I really enjoy making metal signage, it's incredibly durable for outdoor applications and just about any design looks great, backlit or otherwise, with endless paint color options. For this custom metal cottage sign, it's a fish with some choice words along the top, this is actually a present for my uncle who owns a cottage....

These custom plaques came out great, and the offsets worked better than expected at CNCROi.com.

Will apply another coat and then begin assembly. It certainly will be the most unique plaques I've ever made.

Thermwood makes very expensive tables, but they are worth every penny!

Custom wooden wall plaques laminated and made at CNCROi.com.

Now, sanding them to 320 grit, 3/4" thick @ 8.5" x 11", will be staining them tomorrow.

These will look awesome once the lamacoid is adhered and PCB boards screwed in... of course, camera footage is lost, so this will be a project that never gets a video.

Custom industrial anodized aluminium tags made by

Custom industrial anodized aluminium tags made by CNCROi.com can be customized however you wish, from size to thickness. The first step involved with making these custom industrial anodized aluminium tags is to laser cut them out to the sizing that the customer required them to be made at. There are two colors involved with this project, smaller tags for labeling a control panel are black while the emergency stop ones are bright red....

This custom steel hand rail was my first railling

This custom steel hand rail was my first railling project I've ever done and wow did I learn a lot fabricating it using both flux core arc welding for the tack welding and shielded metal arc welding for the bonding at CNCROi.com. I've done a bigger and heavier vault a while back but this was a whole other kettle of fish....

Let's make the biggest stencil I've made so far at CNCROi.com, a massive MDF stencil using quarter inch MDF. The bed on my 5 ft x 10 ft Thermwood CNC router is huge but you have to keep in mind, this massive MDF stencil is much bigger, each roughly 4 ft square section I router cut represents a quarter of the entire project, thus the entire stencil is 8 ft square....
