I love this inlay kit. Yes, I could make it myself. Who has time for that? I will be ordering more in the future. CIC please get yellow heart back in stock.

It is always nice that I can buy your product when I am in a hurry to get a project done and don't have time to get a panel glued up. I will continue to buy support you guys.

This was a great cnc project! The ornaments are beautiful and fun to make. I scale a little bit and copied the 6 onto a 12"x28" scrap piece of Beliwood that are currently curing! The waiting is the only bad part about it!

This was a fun project. The file was fine to work with. It’s really designed to put on 4*4 machine but with a little knowledge I broke it up scaled it by 1.250 per inch. Then cut piece by piece. So over all mine is 23 inches long. It’s well worth the price. I cut this project on a 4060 pro. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a little bit of a challenge.

I thought I would try out this new material (for me) and absolutely love it. I recommend using the suggested upcut bits. Initially, I started with a 1/8-inch downcut bit and wasn’t satisfied with the results. After cutting a few letters, I switched to an upcut bit, which cleaned up the earlier cuts and produced the sign you see here. I'm really looking forward to using this material for my project.

I had never worked with colorcore before. I made this sign for the company I work for. I am the maintenance manager at this location and felt we needed an entry sign. After making this one I now see me making 4 more for locations throughout the plant. The product is so easy to cut and has a finished look once the cut is complete.

It took me a few tries to get things just right. Lots of YouTube videos and CIC Inlay video, but after a few tries, I got it!!!
Wife is super happy with how it turned out, and that's what counts.
Thanks, CIC workshop, for making this project possible. Well worth the time, effort, and expense. This is truly a piece of art that we will cherish. I can't wait to start the next project.

I made it for my granddaughters in Washington state. They got it today and I got pictures of some smiling girls back. First time cutting BamX. I like it and will look for more projects to use it.
Thanks CIC

First time doing very detailed image carves. I was initially going too deep. That's a user error not a bit error. The mountains in that pic were .76 mm deep. I imagine even better detail could be found shallower. This bit performed flawlessly, even if it's programmer (me) is still learning.

Both the design file and tool pathing worked perfectly. I bought the Bamex and the recommended bits and here’s my opinion of them. Bamex is easy to work with and appears to be very durable. I used food grade mineral oil as a finish and it looks great. As usual, the two bits recommended for the project are well worth the money. I used the recommended speeds and feeds and all the cuts were flawless. The CNC I used for this rocker is an Avid Pro4896.
Thank you CIC

They look good, easy to install, and make a great finishing touch .
I used them on treasure boxes for my grandsons that hopefully will become jewelry boxes when they get older.
Great quality every time. I cnc alot of personilized gifts for business and realtors. I was doing all the milling from slabs before and this has saved me so much time.

Hello!
I ordered the custom inlay kit from CIC and was very happy with the results. I live in Michigan and thought it would be great to create an inlay cutting board that honored our great state. This was my first attempt at an inlay and I had some mistakes but all in all, it was a great experience. I will definitely be creating additional cutting boards in the future. I already have some designs in mind.
Thanks!

This was a very fun project. My first time using Bam-x and i am thinking of other uses I can do with it.
Everything provided in the kit was awesome.
Now i will be going back and doing the Bald Eagle kit.
I love these kits and look forward to the coming months to see what you have to offer.

Love the bit, works as it should. Initially received a defective bit that broke the 2nd time I used it, but customer service sent out a replacement and its working fantastic. I'm extremely happy with the tools, digital files, and customer service. I wish all companies could be like these guys (gals)!

I have a Shapeoko Pro annd use Carbide Create and Motion. The information was straight forward and easy to use. I missed a setting in the video on the start depth on the pocket and had to watch it make a cut pass on already removed materials, this will make me remember next time one thing to watch for. This is a great look and nice project.

I cut out and built the press the day I got the plans. Beautiful ! Then I got (free) the Deer pattern for a large complicated Inlay project. Your video was a great help as this was my first inlay on my CNC. (Longmill MK2 30 x 30). Both male and female parts were perfect using your 3/16th endmill and your 30 Deg. V-bit. Both cut wonderfully and the project is in the press right now. Can't wait until tomorrow to take it out and finish. I'll send pix of both when the project's done.

Ordered the brass feet for my cutting board. As there was a lot of work put into this board, I didn’t want the standard rubber feet. The feet from CIC didn’t disappoint. I will order again with next board.
I love the monthly projects as they greatly enhance the learning process of CNC's and add new perspectives as you create a new product. Fun to make and easy to learn. A double win!
Carving plastic is a new and fun endeavor.
Great. Just great. Great material, wonderful project, properly packed and shipped, and: all one needs, all the p;roper sizes, no trip to the hardware store for just few screws, and where to get just 1 to 3 of those metal balls...
They have good people there in Texas.

The inlay builder kit is high quality, flat and square right out of the box. Saved a lot of time not having to make end grain boards myself. Very nice end grain boards, great price. I have ordered this more than once. Fast shipping, Thank you CIC.

This is the first time I ever used this material on a project and WOW !!! Its great. There is only one concern I have. I am wondering the best way to remove the small fibers after the cut. Inside the lettering ect...
But it was very easy to work with and it gives a project a POP! I used a 1/8" ballnose bit for the ring carving and a 1/8" 30 degree Vbit for the lettering. I did not want to use the O flute bits I have because I wanted to try normal bits and it worked great.
Highly Recommended!!
Everything cut nice and clean and it came out just as I had hoped. I used the 1/8th and 1/16th oflute bits and a 45 deg bit for finishing the edges. I made if for my business because regular signs blow away, degrade, etc, and get expensive to replace. This isn't going anywhere, and it stands out above everything else!
I’m a novice at woodworking in general and CNC routing in particular. I watched the CIC Video on the round over bit, ordered one, and used it successfully on my first CNC design. I did a rough draft using MDF to have a church committee review it, and the results were much better than expected. I still have much to learn, so I will be watching more videos soon.

Everything went as expected. I did knock a few of the finer points off when cleaning up the "fuzzies", so next time I will be more carful. I think I also put too much glue in the recesses and that held the insert up a little too much, leaving a slight "line" around some of the parts. Perhaps a little more "bottom clearance" would work better for me. I'm very happy with the "first try".

BamX is Awesome to work with. I enjoy using it for projects and will buy more of it when needed especially when you have a sale on it.
Unfortunately, as you see in the picture, my CNC ruined this piece due to two loose screws allowing the Z motor brake to slip (lesson learned: periodically check the screws). However, the previous piece came out great as seen in the other pictures!

My Freud bit was getting dull so I order 26 from Ryan. Bit cuts very nicely. 3D carvings appear to show more details in them and less sanding. I willcontinue to buy my bits from Ryan and the team at CIC.
I purchased the Custom Inlay Builder Kit from CIC Workshop and was very impressed. The kit lets you choose high-quality woods like Walnut or Maple for a 12” x 18” cutting board. The materials are top-grade, sanded to 180-grit, and perfect for inlay designs. Assembly was easy with clear instructions and a helpful video. The result was a beautiful, professional-looking board. CIC’s customer service was quick and helpful. I’d highly recommend this kit to any woodworker—it’s great for beginners or p...

I Love carving with this stuff! Great for sing making for indoor or outdoor.
Be aware though, don’t show your kids or friends what you can do, you’ll go broke buying more color core. Esp if they’re like my bunch and thinks CIC sends me this stuff for free.
Ps Slim, the 3/8 OFlute worked great. Thanks for the assist on the feeds and speeds.
This bit is super sharp and smooth! The detail it can produce is outstanding! All the bits from CIC that I have ordered have far exceeded my expectations! I'm a customer for life!

I love working with this stuff and my customers can't get enough of it. It is so beautiful. Make sure to use the Golden Boy Roughing bit and the 1/4" round over bits. The rougher bit saves wear and tear in the bowl bits. This stuff is tough!
