Thanks for the excellent video on making the acrylic sign. Really appreciate your detailed information on the acrylic milling, and the pointers to the LED standoffs on Amazon. Something I haven't seen before and very cool. Cheers, Ralph
very good video and tutorial, I'm retired Army and my son-in-law found you guys and this is something we want to expand my wood business with.

I must have missed this one when it was first put up on You Tube. Great tutorial and the sign came out great also. I was curious as to what stop-over was used on the V-bit pocket. Thanks!
Thank you for the inspiring video and sharing the tools and tool paths. Keep up the great videos
Glad we could inspire! Thank you!

You are welcome, thank you for checking out our video
Those acrylic mounts are cool!
Thank you
Where do I find the mounts with leds built in? @shopsabre
Would you please link those mount lights?
SIR, CAN YOU SHOW US HOW TO CREATE ACP SIGN BOARD DESIGN AND CUT PLEASE?

I would like some more detail on the engraving tool path and what V bit was used
He not only covered it in his description of the video but also wrote it down in the details of the video
@@stephengmeiner3264 Somebody was paying attention ;)

Hi @daryncashmark6518, we had a stepover of .008 or 80% of the flat diameter of the engraving bit. Thanks for watching!
80% stepover - We appreciate you checking the video out
Any links here to the LEDs?
What stepover are you using for the V-carve to get a consistent surface without lines?
You always want to use the smallest step over you can afford to do for time -- the smaller the step the better the finish but the longer the cut time.
I am not understanding where the light is coming from, the side of the mounts?
The light comes from the edge, there is a LED light we installed in the base and it shines through the piece and reflects off the engraving.
how deep did you carve in the vbit text?
You have to go at least 1/16th but depth is more personal preference because as soon as you break surface it will begin to show light reflection
Why not use a straight bit for the lettering instead of the v-bit? I've never made an led sign before.
Light projection is based on the lines created by the tooling. With a straight cutter you get less bounce.
Is the V bit faster than a diamond drag bit?
There is two sides to this answer, it most definitely can be depending the project
One if for surface etching, one is for engraving, so speed comparing depends on the application, material, etc.
What was the name of the device you guys used for the led?
If you search LED standoff acrylic lights on amazon you should see them, the brand we ordered is called Topnike.
@@shopsabre Sweet! Thank you.
@@MrJcTTK You are welcome!
The name of bolt?
Are you looking for the bits being used?
@@shopsabre No. I mean the bolt with led
