Transform your ashtray crafts into secure and non-addictive strategy game items. Discover more details about Tic-Tac-Toe at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic-tac-toe. This eco-friendly metal version of the classic pen and paper game is far better than its tree counterpart, as long as you play it frequently. This entertaining game features 2 CNC milled components: the board and the pieces. The board is crafted in a single setup through two operations - milling the game area and pockets (in one go) while facing the top surface. Milling the sides, bottom surface, and custom engraving are optional steps. The X's and O's are cut from a sheet of material. However, if you don't have specific tools or materials like a 9.525mm end mill, 95.4mm x 68.8 mm x 15 mm aluminium stock or a 7 mm bronze sheet, the included ngc files may not be useful for you. In such cases, use the online Tic-Tac-Toe generator at http://machinetouch.appspot.com/tictactoe.py to adjust feed rates, tool depth per pass, and choose materials like wood or plexiglass. Before diving into the provided CNC files, try air cutting first or wait for video instructions, as the motions may not have been tested with your specific setup in mind. Remember, copying is not stealing, but cheating at Tic-Tac-Toe is merely 'meh.'
