I am no longer a shopbot virgin! This is my first cut performed on my table with no problems. I used a plunge cut round over bit and it cut down approx. 1/2" into the plywood. during the operation it paused to ask if the holes could be cut where it stopped at. My question is, was that the place I should change bits to a spiral or straight bit to cut the holes? I aborted the operation because it was late and was making too much noise but can I restart the file without having to retrace my cutting before it gets to the hole cutting part? Or go to the file called "vachole"? Another thing i was surprised by was The crappy $100.00 dust collection system i have. I have some real nice 4" flexible hose (like dryer vent hose only thicker) 50 ft for 25 bucks and i hung it up and the little bit of sawdust you see is where i forgot to turn it on after cutting started, it sucked it out real good.
So far im a happy camper!
