SmartShop Videos

This video showcases signmaking with aluminum composite (ACM) and acrylic materials using two of our most popular CNC routers! Notice the efficiency of the machines in their order of cuts as they create a workflow to deliver results in minimal production time and limit material costs as nesting utilizes the most of your material leaving very little to waste. For this nested lettering, we used a 3/16" O-Flute Down tooling bit for the aluminum composite material and a 1/4" O-Flute Up Cut tooling bit for the acrylic material.

Take a look as a slab of Oak transforms into a beautiful, custom bar top with natural accents, set into layers of resin epoxy. This video features each step in the process of the build, from fly cutting the materials to finishing off the epoxy pour and installing the table tops. Natural elements, including an oversized pinecone cut by the Laguna 14|BX bandsaw, provide a fresh design on this advanced CNC woodworking project.

This week's featured video dives into the progress of engraving a stainless steel flask with anodized coating as well as laser cutting high density fiberboard (HDF) and assembling it into a decorative box. Take a look as the SmartShop® EX CO2 laser outlines the custom "Father's Day" design in the first swoop and then finishes it off the second time around, revealing the silver polished look of the underlying steel. The laser then quickly cuts out the gift box template allowing the user to easily put together the finishing touches.

In this video, we show the process of using our SmartShop® EX CO2 laser to cut beautifully designed wine cases and home décor signage. We chose a variation of material for the boxes, first cutting white acrylic and then turning to high density fiberboard (HDF) to give it the rustic wooden look. Regardless of texture, the laser accurately sculpts fine lines with ease making these perfect as wine bottle displays or gift boxes. The acrylic sign making serves as an aesthetic piece of decoration, which can also double as wall art. The CNC laser was able to cut it with excellent quality and precision in just a matter of minutes!

In this video, we explore the possibility of making a leather wallet from scratch with the use of a CO2 laser and then apply a custom laser engraving with a fiber marker. We first outline and cut out the wallet parts with the SmartShop® Laser|EX, which are then assembled into completion. The Fiber Marker|EM finalizes the piece with a detailed serpent, fitting perfectly with the texture of the leather. With each layer of lasering, new elements appear with enhanced precision and quality, making this machine the ideal candidate for laser marking and etching.

On our latest project, we machine a beautiful piece or butcher block to create colorful accents with epoxy. Take a look as the inlay is first cut out by our SmartShop® SUV CNC router and the tabletop is then transformed with the filling in of the resin.

The lettering is first carved with a standard 1/4 inch end mill and is detailed with a standard 1/2 inch V-bit to finish it off. After the inlay is finished, we used a 2 1/2 inch three flute carbide bit for flycutting. Lastly, the table gets processed through the Industrial Widebelt Sander.
