I've got a Shopbot, and I like it a lot, but it's not the right tool for
machining brass, although it might work for engraving it. I'd be happy
to consult with these folks on the best way to get these tokens made
efficiently.

Thank u Jake
Here is more info on the position.
Its paid, temporary gig, and looking to hire immediately

Our team of 5 is seeking a Mechanical Engineer with experience using
CAD/CAM software (ours is Fusion & ShopBot) to join at our HQ in Oakland.
You’ll be joining a cross-disciplinary tq/bipoc team that is building
a protocol for dense community-owned distribution networks to emerge
between Artists and Listeners. Your role will be to produce and
iterate a physical prototype that interacts with our digital product.
We are in stealth, but previously launched the largest decentralized
digital music event
<https://www.notion.so/Press-6965b1902d7343eda66f9e5ce0732ece?pvs=21>
in history and are actively working with music communities in more
than 100 countries.
*Roles and Responsibilities*
At Currents, you'll be responsible for launching the first protocol
for decentralized distribution networks, starting in the music industry.
This will involve designing scalable, reliable web2+3 systems that
serve our worldwide grassroots communities.
* *Design* engraving and milling patterns for our brass prototype in
Fusion 360. Tackle design challenges in ensuring each token
unique. Troubleshoot feeds/speeds to ensure readable engraving and
accurate milling.
* *Manufacture* brass ‘tokens’ using a CNC, and troubleshoot
production challenges to improve production time while ensuring
quality and precision are maintained/improved.
* *Collaboration*: Work alongside our user research, design, and
engineering teams to iterate the token design/production to
address any usability issues.
* *Iterate* not only the product, but also your design/manufacturing
processes to increase efficiency in the fast-paced environment of
a startup.
* *Maintain* our ****ShopBot ****CNC, reading up and identifying
potential repairs or adjustments before things break.
What you Bring
* You’re well versed in CAD software, preferably Fusion 360. You’ve
done a lot of iterative/problem solving in past design work to
overcome challenges specific to certain materials, machines, and
intricate projects.
* You have experience using ShopBot CNCs, or have transferrable
machine experience and are eager and confident in your ability to
learn everything about this machine quickly. You have experience
working with brass.
* You collaborate with a human-centered perspective and an exacting
attention to detail in the products that you work on.
* You obsessively like to get involved in things. You’re constantly
reading and researching and sharing new findings with friends.
* Whether they're creative pursuits, side hustles, or hobbies,
you're constantly learning about the world through the act of
creation.
*A Strong Plus*
* Extensive experience using Fusion 360.
* Experience using a ShopBot machine
* Experience working in a startup or other fast-paced CAD/CAM work.

Here's a 10ft x 5ft cnc machine I built. It is a V1 Engineering
design that I modded with some custom 3d printed parts in order to
switch to a more powerful spindle/router.

Would suggest you post the same question to the V1 forums:

From guerilla:
anyone here have CAD/CAM & cnc experience?
i work with a tq/bipoc team of artists building the first
platform for community-owned distribution networks to
sustainably support music Artists.
right now we're producing a tool for sharing music that
involves cnc metalwork. we're looking for someone experienced
who's looking for short-term work and is down to hop on the
project for a couple weeks! we will offer a contract to
compensate you :-)
