First cut your machine ever made?!

What was the first thing you had your machine cut when you got it running for the first time? For me it was the roadrunner design in mach 3, it was so simple but I was extremely happy to see it do what it was supposed to be doing.

LOL, the table on my machine was the first thing that got cut!
After that it was a Raptor model (the dxf is available on here).

It's not even built but it has cut me several times. I hate steel.

After the leveling of the table cut, mine was a foamie (rc indoor airplane)

On my first machine(converted auto parts tester) I milled my name.... backwards! I had to reverse the wires on the X axis!

My first cut was a circle and then a square in blue foam. I had spent so much time and my budget was pretty tight, so I tested every cut in foam initially.

Here's a link to my thread I started the day after...One years worth of pics and videos of my 43" x 98" MDF machine FIRST BUILD!!!

Unfortunately I am limited to cutting in the middle of the day on the weekend as it is in the spare bedroom of my apartment, lol...
