Converting a X2 clone to CNC

[Shawn]

Thanks guys. Spent a bit more time this morning playing with the setup. I thing the bit was slipping in the collet yesterday? .002"doc, 7ipm feed and 54,000rpm. The top engraving was done with a very fine endmill .5mm? The second was cut with a three sided 30 degree tool. The engraving is .135" tall on aluminium plate. I did flatten the stock on my shaper to make sure there wasn't an issue with surface irregularity.
