WELCOME!


It is hard to believe that it was almost ten years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated with what I saw and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff.

Through extensive research and LOTS of hands-on practice I quickly found out that my MultiCam router was capable of just about anything imaginable.This journal will chronicle that journey to date and continue each week with two or three entries as I continue to explore just what is possible with this wonderful tool... -dan

Welcome to my world of routing


It is hard to believe that it was less than five years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff.

Through extensive research I quickly found out that the CNC routers were capable of just about anything imaginable. The software was capable of the same. But amazingly in the sign world everyone I talked with was using their routers as fancy jigsaws. I wanted to do so much more! I wanted to create textures and wonderful 3D objects and this was just the machine to take us there.

After months of research I determined that MultiCam made one of the very best routers around and I wanted the very best I could possibly have. They had delivered hundreds of these machines around the world. They offered a bullet proof machine and backed it up with first rate support. Twelve weeks after I placed my order our machine arrived at our shop and we began a journey of discovery that continues to this day. This journal will chronicle that journey to date and continue each week with two or three entries as we continue to explore just what is possible with this wonderful tool...
