• Securing the Stock - One good method for securing your stock is to use super glue, activator, and masking tape as described in this video.

• For post processing, choose carbide3d.cps for the Post Configuration.
• To engrave with a V bit in Fusion 360 (e.g. lettering), you can select a chamfer mill as your bit and then edit the bit to create the appropriate V bit. For example, you can create a 1/4 inch 90 degree V bit with the following settings: Diameter - 0.25 in; Shaft Diameter - 0.25 in; Taper Angle 45 deg; Tip Diameter - 0.001 in.
• For poplar, cutting 5mm depth, a feed rate of 600 mm/min gave good results. At 800 mm/min, the CNC would skip teeth on the belts.
