I like your cam clamp, I'll be copying it. I don't understand the square to round transition for the dust collector.

I cut this a few years ago. It took me quite a while to convert the file and cut it. Not sure if it was was worth the effort.

I am very much into recycling and so when I purchased by Buddy a few years ago I kept thinking what I could make with the crate it came in. After it sat around for a few years I decided...

With your experience in cutting plastics, if I were you I would look into making the sign using color core plastic sign material. It is easy to cut, no painting or finishing is involved,...

Several years ago an electronics repair shop caught fire. The fire spread so fast that the entire shop was engulfed before the fire department arrived and it burned to the ground. As I recall, the...

I have used epoxy to fill vcarved letters and liked the results.

Before cutting, I coated the board with a clear coat. I think that I used several coats of polyurethane but epoxy would...

If you forward your email address I'll send a picture of a sample of v-carved colorcore, I don't know how to attach a pic in this reply. However, I don't think that v-carve is appropriate for...

I have cut colorcore and love the way it cuts. I usually use a 1/4 inch straight bit or upcut. On a sign this large you'll probably want to make a rough cut with a larger bit to reduce the cut...

I cut some veneer for a friend a year or so ago. The first attempts was a disaster, the veneer chipped and split. For the second try, I had him attach the veneer to some mdf using some spray on...

I think that you handled this call great. Yes, the guy was a bit ballsy asking you how you make your bat houses but at least he had invested in a kit. For everyone that calls with those type of...

It sounds like they may be just using you to determine how many hours they can afford to put into the job and also for setting their prices. A couple of things raised flags for me 1. I've been in...

This link shows what some students in Nebraska are doing with a CNC machine. I am always amazed by the things people dream up to do with their CNC's.

I can understand your shop space limitation as I purchased a BT 32 because I have very limited space. When I purchased my router I was concerned about the accuracy of the Buddy compared to the...

I assume that the standard will handle the plywood with the 8' powerstick and the powerstick outfeed support system. However, you said that the reason that you were purchasing a buddy is...

I've been watching this thread since its beginning and would like to throw my 2 cents in.
Erminio is charging a price that is acceptable to his customer and obviously the customer is able to pass it...

If you are not cutting to deep you may want to consider some of the combination core plywoods which are now available. It has a standard veneer core in the center but also has a layer of MDF...

I have been trying to use the inlay feature of PartWorks to inlay some veneer. The pocket is cutting nicely but when trying to cut the male piece the veneer breaks up and is unusable. I have been...

I think that one of the greatest failures of our educational system is the elimination of shop classes. School administrators seem to think that the only purpose of a high school is to prepare a...

I have a Buddy standard using PartWorks for design software. I have always used the (arcs)(inch) postprocessor for creating toolpaths assuming that it is the best one when any curves are involved. ...

Does the font look the same if you repeat the cut with the piece in another part of the table? I have had similar things happen and it seems that it was caused by PartsWork and the font I was using.

I am unable to enlarge images by clicking on the thumbnail image. Any suggestions?

Please put me on the list for the Vancouver Camp.
