You could have several things going on here. You could have a loose pinion on the Z axis, you could have something on the underside of the table...

I was thinking about this more. As I was explaining what happened to some coworkers and showing them this picture it became clear that my problems...

Congrats! BUT I notice your end mill was Z-Zeroed considerably lower than the VBit was...VERY important to ZZero at the same exact spot on the...

.5" depth is way too aggressive. Unless you are in a production shop with a cast iron machine, that wouldn't really be a good depth. I personally...

Vibration on the machine translates into the cut quality. Seeing as we both have the same spindle, and almost the same machine....try being a little...

Thank you for this insight. However, I'm not sure how it could have impacted the erratic nature of the cutting? It was running fine and went...

As all that material was cut from the face of your project the board likely changed shape from the change in the internal tension of the wood and...

No sorry everything has been sold. I will post a new thread if I get another one in. -B

Just to follow up with this, here is the test cut I did tonight with the Onsrud 52-367 on a scrap 2x8. I did a conventional cut at 12500 RPM and 4...

It looks like my control box just quit. I have a 2002 PR box. Is any of this still for sale?

I’ll give that a try, thanks.

Well....I'm pretty sure you might be right about that. Shopbot will send someone soon to help me out but I'm still tryin! Thanks for your reply!

Rpm is whatever the porter cable router runs at. Feed speeds are 150 x and y and 50 z

What speeds and RPM on the 3d finishing cut? -B

Wow! That's so creative!

Oh man, that's nice!

Like Scott, I didn't see the wedges in the tenons at first. Nice decorative functional touch. I love cherry.

randydimmette, couldn't tell you. sorry. I get a friend of mine order it for me through his business.

I know this was talked about earlier, but that really is a nice dust shoe...joe

Does it make the same noise when plugged into a different motor channel or when plugged directly into the board (bypassing the extension cable...

Thanks for the info. It does work. The problem is it’s noisy. I was thinking about turning apart and seeing if I could fix it but figured a new one...

Love your crazy projects Eric! I'm a regular on your YouTube videos... Can't wait to see this as it progresses!
