Mohamed,

You can do it as kglad said, being careful with the Image Trace settings, not least Strokes,

or you can trace with the Pen Tool.

My guess is that you wish to just trace the outer shape, shown pale.

Thank you so much for the reply ,

I'm making it trhough the pen tool , i just need to know a faster way on Illustrator , regardless the pen tool , or if you have another opinion also , it'll be great .

For my part you are welcome, Mohamed.

Have you tried the settings/options linked to, especially the Stroke, which I presume is the key to the CNC cutting?

You can always set the right Stroke properties (colour/Stroke Weight) after expanding the Image Trace and removing the unwanted inner parts.
