Customer photo review of TBN-62124 - 0.25mm Rad. - 6.2 Deg TBN- 6mm Shank

Brandon G.

Took a while to dial in the settings. Recommend the Broinwood course if you’re struggling and impatient. I might have gotten there eventually, but that definitely sped it up. This was my first inlay with a TBN! Still have to let it settle before flattening it completely but was too excited to wait to share :D

I submitted a prior review for the 250th file and clock kit. I just have to brag a little bit because I submitted the clock to the Twin Falls County Fair and won First Place and Best of Class for Fair Theme Woodworking! Thank you CIC Workshop for helping develop the skills I needed (along with the files, materials, bits, and kits) to achieve this!

Customer photo review of November 2025 - Classic Game Box - BamX™

Robert D.

Thank you for the idea and more so for Vectric file. It sure made my life a lot easier. I bought multiple files from Etsy, From my experience nobody creates files as user friendly like yours Ryan. Thanks again. I’m looking for a January kit now?

Jon

This is my first ever 3D relief carving. I did it on a piece of birch plywood as a test so as not to trash good hardwood. Even on plywood, this bit performed exceptionally well. The finish is so smooth that no sanding was required. You can't go wrong with this one!!!

Second clock from the kit I received. Again, I highly recommend this kit. very well done and easy to follow and/or change. As one can see I changed the palm trees for the drinks. Thanks CIC.

Customer photo review of 1/8" x 1/2" O'Flute - 1/4" Shank - OF215

Scott B.

Lots of fun making this rocker!! a bit challenging because I didn't pay attention to the fact that my worksurface is 33x33 and the piece of BAMX I bought was 24x36.... worked out well though! Carbide Create doesn't do the fluting easily so I omitted that part. It's a bit early for my 6 month old grandson but he'll grow into it!!

Michael R.

I purchased this bit a few months ago I after surfacing and leveling a 20 x 42 inch walnut panel for an end grain glue up. I could not believe the near finish like surface this bit left! It saved me hours of work and my glue up was perfect!

Customer photo review of Wavy USA Flag CNC Kit

Kelly M.

You all knocked this kit out of the park. I did add the text 250 1776 - 2026 and used the same tool paths but had to use some hot glue to dam up some of the 250 to get enough epoxy.

My friend and I made three of these with the walnut inlay and two with epoxy. We loved how they all turned out. We plan to give them to our local veterans center for their fundraising auction. Many thanks to the folks at CICworkshop for sharing this amazing file.

This kit is awesome! I got the small so it fits on my Genmitsu 4060-Pro MAX. I used IDC Beast bit for clearing, the CIC 30 degree bit, and IDC 10 degree TBN bit for the final pass. Total machine time at 9 hours. Used Rubio Monocoat Pure for the finish. Will add the Rubio Sheen+ later.

I've used this for my finishing toolpaths on about a dozen projects so far. I use an IDC beast bit for roughing path first, at 45 degrees, then use this bit along the grain with 8% stepover. Very little sanding required. I use this bit on projects that are near notebook size and details are good with acceptable machine times. For smaller items I use another bit with a smaller tip radius. Highly recommended!

Love the clock kit! The file was very easy to use as well as all the items within the kit. Now, my kids have a great memory in their rooms for years to come!

Customer photo review of Wooden Tortilla Press CNC Kit

Kirk N.

This file is put together very well, for me it was a 16 minute carving from pressing go to it being done, a few minutes to glue up and install the hinge then finished with osmo polyx oil, highly recommend.

Customer photo review of ColorCore HDPE Plastic - Premium Multi-Layer Engravable Sheets

Mark B.

I made this Tic Tac Toe game from BamX and the X and O letters were made from HDPE. The HDPE was easy to cut using a zero flute cutter. They came out extremely clean and needed very little touch up. The BamX was also very easy to work with and the pockets for the HDPE pieces added a nice contrast to the game.

Mark B.

This HDPE material is very easy to work with and using a zero flute end mill gives Great results and leaves very few little wiskers of plastic to clean up. The color contrast on the butterfly garden sign I made for my wife really stands out. I did the whole sign with a 1/8 diameter zero flute cutter.

Love this kit, the end grain is beautiful. I would buy again. Really appreciate the professionalism they put into their products. Unfortunately my desk top CNC is not strong enough to to do the male insert for this board (ruined the maple insert 😔), so I had to go with expoxy. It still turned out very well!

Used a 24x12 Maple hard panel, .75" thick. Just a slight bow to it but was able to flatten out with no issues. Very happy with the materials and how it came out overall! Thanks!

Of all the kits I’ve purchased, this is the one that my wife likes the best and so do I. Finished it’s beautiful! It will hang proudly in the living room, which was my wife’s idea! Thank you for the design, everything went perfectly. Don

Customer video review of 1/32 Radius - 5.4 Deg 3D Tapered Ballnose - 1/4" Shank - TBN1-32

Tj M.

This badge was carved with a Golden Boy XL (Chipbreaker) roughing bit and a 1/32 Tapered Ball Nose from CIC Workshop. These are my go to bits for most of my carves. I could use larger Tapered Ball Nose bits and get a faster carve but after the amount of years these Warriors have sacrificed, let’s take some to time and capture the beauty of their badge to honor them correctly.

Customer photo review of Osage Orange Inlay Plug (18"x12")

Don C.

Excellent files to work with, as usual. I lost a star, don’t know how that happened, so it is now a historical flag between 1959 -1960. Used Rubio Monocoat Pure, absolutely beautiful.

My inlay didn't come out the way I would have liked. There were small gaps between the letters. So, I redid it with resin, and it came out looking great. I should have watch the things that can go wrong video first.

Love the wood combination! Did a variation of Ryan's design and raised the stars for the smaller version. Very happy how it turned out. Can't wait to try it on the larger board soon!

Curtiss C.

Made this 2 sided sign for the end of my driveway. I’ve had nothing but fantastic compliments from all my neighbors. I used 3/4” black colorcore with 1/4” for all the pieces. 24”x24”. Thanks for the file!!

Fred C.

Beautiful result for the small wavy American flag. Finished with 3 coats of satin poly. Ryan hit another home run with this kit. The flag blank, Vcarve file with tool paths, and the instructional video provide all you need to turn out a beautiful work of art. Well - ok, you do need CNC skills… My wife and I love this one so much, it’s not for sale. I think this is a six-peat for me…

This is an AWESOME!! kit. Could I have milled the wood, put the flag board together, then the 3D file to carve it? Yes, but Y'all make it so we don't have to mill and glue up the wood saving us a significant amount of time. I made this first one I bought for my Dad's birthday and engraved in it the US Army logo, Dad's Vietnam Army Unit, and their patch. I still need to deliver it to him, but he loves the pictures!!

Cuts easy and appears to be durable. Had a little bit of cleanup in the lines from some plastic burrs leftover but that could be my fault as it was my first time using it. I like the way it looks..

Excellent inlay kits. These come read to use and save a ton of time, letting me focus on creating and not on material prep. The inlays and bases are flat, smooth, and the only limits are your imagination!

Customer photo review of September - Complete 🔥Inlay Starter Kit🔥

Eddie P.

Bought these last on November 2024. I got to them in Feb. of these year. So far the boards are stable with no warping. The rose was for my girlfriend, Rose. The 3 blade propeller was for my nephew who flies small planes. I have to say that I have extreme confidence these will last a long, long time as both my girlfriend and nephew use these as kitchen countertop displays. I also recently ordered the small kit. Flubbed the CNC process last Sunday and just now ordered two more. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR...

The mazes turned out great & Ryan’s video recommendation for holding down the acrylic worked way better for me than what I’ve done before. And the kids really liked them!
