A few years ago I cut 1000 blanks for a guy making spearing decoys for ice fishing. Never heard from him after that. I think he may not have had a good grip on how much work it was going to be to...
I am sure that was him.
This kind of go my attention as I just finished making some parts for a prototype extractor for a friend of mine. I spent some time looking at the site and came away with the feeling that it is more...

Like my Dad told me years ago, "You never learn a valuable lesson that don't cost you something". Over the years I have invested a fair amount of money in my education. Not to mention some hide, hair...
Brady, You hit the nail on the head.
it makes more sense to hire a hand carver to finish it up.
As far as that goes I am not too sure most of my customers would know the difference. But when...
Try enco I use lots of their solid carbide stuff. Lots of time they have free shipping.

32 mi. of track, I can think of some real railroads (1900s logging type) that didn't have that much track. You do nice work.
My Dad was a engineer on the DM&IR and as a kid I got to ride with...

Check your bearings. If your running a P.C. router you can get bearings at any bearing house. I would replace them with double shielded not sealed type. Search of old threads will turn up info on...
What has become of VinylMate/Little holdings. The web site is up but no one is home. Can not contact them via phone or email. Are they dead and gone?
I have used one to spray "Frog Juice" on letters cut from .25 & .50 sintra. Worked for me.
Terry,
In 67 and 68 when I was on a vacation at goverment expense I spent Christmas in a place that you would think would be a real Christmas killer. But even there the spirit was with us and we...
I do it like Robert does. If you run in 3D offset all you need to do is move the tool up to a safe start position. Taking into account how deep the tool will try to cut. That way you do not have to...
Dave, you must have seen the one they where making to cut the foam filled wall panels for building homes. I saw it when I was there. Very impressive.
Daniel, If you would send me a copy i will see what I can do with it in ArtCam. Is you e-mail address good in your profile????
Good luck, I never found one and the project I had went by the wayside.
Thanks for the info Doug. Makes me feel better about the way I did it.
I used a bit of silicone and some 3M 9473 VHB tape to hold things in place till the silicone dryed. Between the two I...
Tim, That was the same advice Joe C. gave me I have gone that route. I have just been watching here to see if anyone was going to come up with a direct recomendation on what works. You win.
Theory 3) You stopped the machine before it was done cutting the "m". Toolpaths do not always cut line by line.
Theory 4) You did hear the "m" when you layed out the lettering but when it came...
When you designed this and located it on your design sheet did you place it in the lower left corner of you sheet and use the lower left at the zero ref when you generated the tool path. If you...
Neal,
As Jeff said, "sounds interesting" and need to know what the "reproduction rights" would cost. Christmas is comming soon so more information if you would.
