What this video covers
This second installment in a foam tombstone milling series focuses on the software side of CNC fabrication, walking viewers through setting up speeds and feeds in Carbide Create for cutting foam. The workflow culminates in exporting ready-to-run g-code for the Shapeoko 3 router. It is aimed at haunters looking to produce professional-looking tombstone epitaphs, plaques, and signs using digital tooling.
Key takeaways
- ◆Carbide Create is used to configure speeds and feeds specifically for foam milling
- ◆G-code export from Carbide Create feeds directly into the Shapeoko 3 CNC machine
