Easel launched Community Cut Settings. It's designed to give you the collective wisdom of the entire community. The heatmap plots feed rate against depth per pass for a given spindle speed, with each tile representing a combination other makers have used.
Collaborative design + CAM software for makers, pros, and shops. From sketch to carve, Easel makes digital fabrication easy, fast, and web-based.
- John Stroup's Tree of Life panel has crisp linework through the branches and roots, with the circular frame tying the whole carve together.
- A lot of people underestimate what CNC can do until they see full-room work: curved stair parts, long-span joinery, and repeatable precision at architectural scale. That is when this tool starts to feel limitless.
- Shoreline Furniture's cherry bar tray with garnish cups is such a clean build. Three nested cup pockets up top, tool well below, and a roundover on the edges to finish it off.
- Freshly cut walnut still warm from the bit, a quick pass with a brush, and the grain lights up. That moment when rough toolpaths turn into something you want to keep forever is why people fall for this craft.
