Project Ideas
Business
Custom Inlay & Logo Service
Offer pocketed inlays for cutting boards, awards, desks, and signage. Use the bit’s plunge capability to hog pockets quickly with clean edges, then fill with resin or contrasting species. Upsell color-matched fills and food-safe finishes.
CNC Textured Panels for Interiors
Produce fluted, slotted, or pixel-depth wall panels for designers and builders. The bit’s reduced vibration and micrograin tips yield clean textures on MDF, ply, and hardwood, ideal for feature walls, acoustic treatments, and cabinet faces.
Precision Mortise Routing for Furniture Kits
Create small-batch furniture kits (stools, benches, side tables) with all 3/8 in mortises pre-routed. Customers complete the tenons and assembly at home. The 1-1/2 in cutting length enables deeper joinery for robust designs.
Guitar Cavity and Control Routouts
Offer pickup and control cavity routing for custom guitar bodies. The fast plunge and chip clearance allow efficient pocketing with clean walls, reducing fuzz and burns, and speeding up the workflow for luthiers and hobbyists.
Vent and Radiator Cover Manufacturing
Build premium wood vent grilles and radiator covers with clean through-slots. The balanced flutes minimize chatter while making repeated plunge cuts and slot connections, enabling consistent, high-volume production with minimal sanding.
Creative
Relief-Inlay Serving Board
Pocket out letters, patterns, or logos by plunging 1/8–3/8 in deep with the staggertooth bit. The micrograin carbide and reduced vibration leave crisp pocket walls ready for resin or contrasting wood inlays, minimizing sanding while achieving a premium look.
Fluted Wall Art Panel
Create rhythmic vertical or wavy flutes across a solid wood panel. Use varying plunge depths to produce light-catching textures; the staggered flutes clear chips during deep passes (up to 1-1/2 in cutting length) for clean, chatter-free grooves.
Modern Bench with Exposed Tenons
Cut precise 3/8 in mortises for stretcher and leg joinery. The bit’s balanced cutting and fast plunging make repeatable mortises with straight, burn-free walls. Glue up with exposed contrasting tenons for a striking craft-forward look.
Pixel-Depth Acoustic Art
Layout a grid and plunge pockets to varying depths to form a 2D ‘pixel’ mural that doubles as a diffuser. The chip-clearing design enables efficient pocketing, and the fine finish reduces cleanup before oiling or staining.
Lattice Lantern
Route through-slots and geometric cutouts in thin hardwood panels to form a light-diffusing lantern. The balanced flutes reduce vibration on delicate parts while plunging into corners and connecting clean slots.
