1

Generate Tool Paths

Download both the files. I generated the tool paths in Makercam. The instructions are in the video below. You can also use other CAM programs to generate your tool paths.

2

Cut and Secure Material

My Shapeoko set up uses the “hold down table” project. You can also screw the material into the waste board with wood screws.

3

Home the spindle

Jog or manually bring the spindle to the appropriate origin point. The file is set up with the origin in the lower left corner of your material.

4

Run the Gcode

I used Universal G code sender. There are several free g code programs recommended at shapeoko.com/forum. Once your Shapeoko is connected, zero your axis and upload the file. your file should be ready to run!

Finishing

I used an 1/8 in chisel and rubber mallet, to knock the tabs off of my piece. Then I lightly sanded the edges with 220 sand paper.
