Let's Get Started

To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.

STEP 1

Step 1

Begin by outlining your letter on your 1/4" MDF material. If you prefer the deeper shadowbox look of our letter, we recommend choosing a letter with all straight lines for easiest border addition on step 4. With your material clamped, cut out the shape of your letter. For straight cuts, we recommend using your Saw-Max equipped with the SM500 Wood & Plastic Wheel. For curved cuts, we recommend using your Moto-Saw tool. Tips for using your Moto-Saw tool: • To cut along your template pattern using the Dremel Moto-Saw. Mount your Moto-Saw base station to any table you'd like to work on and snap the tool into place.

STEP 2

Step 2

Place your MS51 Wood and Plastic Cutting blade into your tool. You can distinguish this blade by comparing it to other blades in your kit. You'll notice that the teeth on this blade are placed further apart and are larger compared to other accessories. Install your accessory, place your plywood under the foot of your tool and lower the foot. • Plug in the tool and set the speed to (6), turn the tool on and begin cutting along your tracing. Make sure to let the speed of the tool do the work and gently guide the material through the blade. TIP: For interior cuts in your design, drill a small hole in the area you need to cut, mount your MS51 blade through the hole and complete your cut.
