Curious, what length bit and diameter did you use with that tall of a "Z"? Russ
Russ the 12" Z axis was helpful because I wanted to make the component parts easy to assemble on the job site. The leaf section of the post carving for example was splined and glued together on three sides before machining. The fourth side was splined and not glued before machining; just clamped on my 6" by 6" fixture. See attached photo. The result was a "clamshell" that just needed the fourth side assembled to complete that part of the install. You can see in the photo that I still needed to extend the holding fixture past the table edge to enable machining on four sides. The leaf section is 10" square on the outside; 8/4 material. I only needed to use 3" long bits....nothing special. I usually use .5", .25" and .125" diameter bits for most of my carvings

Great jigging there.
More like singing "99 buckets of money" to me. ;)
thanks.. LOL..:D
Yes....but I'm not much of a beer drinker anyway... :D
Thanks Charlie, I am always impressed by how each of us with similar equipment and software come up with some really clever solutions! Russ
I love doing architectural also - it lasts for as long as...and it shows what you can do - very satisfying indeed - great stuff !
