CNC Carved Tissue Box Cover
This nice cover is sized to go over a standard rectangular tissue box. I used textures on the bottom of the panels, but they have enough space for lettering, logos or image carvings.
There is a free download to go with the video that includes notes and the .dxf file for the box top, sides and ends.
Make a Lathe Steady Rest with your CNC
One of the best things about having a CNC in the shop is being able to make jigs and fixtures to augment your more traditional tools. These lathe Steady Rests are a good example.
This is a simple but effective steady rest that uses skate wheels so there is little mark off on the parts. costs well under $50.00 to build since we give you the .dxf files for free!
DXF files are available for lathes with swings of 5,6,7,8,9,10 and 12” (bed to spindle center) so most current lathes are covered. We also have a hardware list.

In this video, we show you how to make one with built-in T-Slots for clamping quickly and easily.
