How To Use Masking Before You Carve Your CNC Router Projects



In this video, we are going to demonstrate how to mask your CNC projects before you carve them on your CNC router. I use Oramask 813 masking for CNC router projects. It is brand name and works well.

In this video, we will cover how to prepare your material before applying the masking an the important steps to follow as you apply it.

I recommend getting the 150 foot roll since it is used up quite quickly when you get shorter rolls.

Get your Oramask by clicking the link below.

  2. When masking a long board if you use painters' tape and tape it down in the center and a couple of spots on one half to hold the masking in place. Then fold the other half over lightly cut the backing paper then peel it back a couple of inches and proceed just as you did in the video. that way one person can easily put down a long piece of masking by him/her self.

  3. Thanks for the demo Garrett. Merry Christmas.
    I’ve been working on several Christmas things with my CNC. Bread & Cracker trays, family signs, and charcuterie boards. Oh, and coasters made from trimmings on the charcuterie boards.
    Love your stuff. I learn a lot from you.

  6. I've been using Oramask for years now…I would suggest a few tips…1) seal the wood first with shellac, 2) once mask is applied I roll it with an ink roller (obviously without ink) to get more uniform adhesion, and 3) after carving, prior to painting seal the carved areas with shellac…no bleed of paint into surrounding wood…

  8. I use to use Oramask until I watched a video by Rob Shuster @Sidewinder Drums using water based wood filler. Simply Stain and Seal with shellac or lacquer. After that dries put on small amount of the wood putty and mix with water to make a sloppy paste and spread a light coat over what your going to carve. After carving paint or stain what you want. Sand off the wood filler and finish as yo want, no worries about masking lifting up i
