Welcome to the G-Code-Examples wiki!

Here you will find various examples of my machining efforts.

I started a custom guitar pick business called PurplePlectrums.com around 2012. The concept was to make larger/thicker guitar picks that were easier to hold than the conventional thin plectrums. Additionally they sounded better since the larger mass accompanied with the variety of advanced thermal plastics and their tonal properties. After I mastered making them by hand I quickly incorporated CNC machining, wrote the G-Code and started milling out batches of them. A colleague now completely runs the business and the production of the plectrums.
