CD Business Cards
I’ve sorted out how to cut CDs fairly well and made some business cards out of them.
They are very popular!
There are a bunch of offshoots from this project so I tend not to make cards out of them anymore! Here are other business card projects.
Here are some of the spinoff projects: Vinyl Clocks, CD Earrings, Drawing Robots, Spirograph Business Cards, Vinyl Business Cards, CD Mirror, Hendrix Portrait, Guitar Picks, wind mobiles
Other experiments:
-
- Banksy Clock
-
- Record Clock with CD Flowers
-
- CD Flower Inlay
-
- CD Inlay
I decided to make a fixture to make things more efficient. Here’s the first fixture.
Worked well so I made a load of other things. Guitar picks, hands for clocks, price tags and much more.
The fixture needed improvement and got worn out pretty quickly. So I went another step.
Worked great:
As you can see below things have grown from there considerably.

Hi.
My name is Jp and im from South Africa. Im trying to cut a clock face into a cd and im wondering if you could share your settings with me? Bit type and size and cut speed and feed rate. I also see you use a jig to hold the cd, could you share the stl file too?
Kind regards

Hi, I live in India and also work with waste materials. Please could you tell me what machine you are using?
It’s a cnc machine.
Okay. Is it possible to buy it? Also you mention you made specific fitments for CDs, can one but those also?
Clock hands from a CD. That is an awesome use for the material. Very light weight, and flashy. Perfect.
Yeah, I’m just working on version two of the CD hands. CD material is a bit more sparse son I’m going to use inlay rather than make the hour hand entirely out of the CD.
