It breaks my heart seeing guys buy a brand new Onefinity Elite, spend hours perfecting a 3D door panel or mirrored acrylic carve, and then list it on Etsy for $15 just to get a sale. You cannot compete on volume against massive shops. We were bleeding margin until we completely pivoted away from Etsy retail and went B2B. We installed 'The Quiet Prospector' to automatically pitch our custom inlay and signage work directly to local architectural firms and custom home builders. Now we only take high-ticket bulk orders. Are you guys mostly doing B2C on Etsy, or are you trying to get into commercial CNC work?

Hello everyone! I am exited to join this community! I have worked for a furniture manufacturing business for the past 21 years and love anything CNC machining or CNC programming related. I have spent most of my past 10 years focused on perfecting CNC files and programming new products to run on the companie's 5' x 10' Onsrud CNC's. I enjoy the process of 3D modeling new products in SolidWorks and then applying tool paths to them in Alphacam but recently I bought my own CNC and quit my job to focus on my home business (Accurakit LLC ) with my wife and 9 children. I enjoy the product designing part of the business but the reason for joining this community is to better understand marketing and product pricing. I have started an Etsy shop (Accurakit) the beginning of this year and have had some success but now am realizing my need for a better understanding of marketing.

I’m Ryan, the founder of this group and a passionate CNC entrepreneur. I’m super excited to have you all here. This community is all about helping each other grow, learn, and create with CNC machines—whether you’re just starting or looking to take your skills to the next level. Here’s a little about me: - I’ve been working with CNC machines for 10 years, building a business and helping others do the same. - My favorite thing about CNC is turning a simple design into a product that people love. - Fun fact: I love Bourbon and Tequila, and have over 100 bottles in my collection/stash Now it’s your turn! In the comments, let us know: - Your name and where you’re from - What stage are you at in your CNC journey (just starting, hobbyist, business owner, etc.)? - What you’re most excited to create or learn with CNC - A fun fact about yourself! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing what amazing projects we’ll create together!

Hey everyone im a commercial sign fabricator and all around tinkerer i have a 4x10 plasma table and a 4x10 cnc router .

I live on the big island of HI. I grew up in IN and traveled through most of mainland for work. I have a woodworking and laser business. Recently expanded into CNC. I make lots of stuff. Cabinets, jewelry boxes, signs, cutting boards. I’d like to make smalls for my farmers markets and craft shows. Hoping cnc will give lots of new and faster production to increase sales. I have access to lots of amazing woods like Koa, monkeypod, mango, Milo, kamani , lychee etc as well as domestics. Been woodworking for over 35 years. Just recently believed I was good enough to sell my work. Really want to learn to add furniture templates to my machine. Such as Chippendale chairs, 3d panels for projects, joinery, and garden benches, etc. I’m part of another community on Skool here one of my friends recommended this to me as I’m expanding my business. Currently I have a few custom orders to complete. I just got an order for another box on Sunday with a Celtic cross to be cnc’d or laser engraved on top. Person gave me total artistic license. Here some pics of recent builds. Don’t have pics of it completed for some reason. Xcarve 1000x1000. Www.graywoodworksdesigns.com
