Is version 3.0 currently available? Last time a new version came out I got an email from SB with a download link and instructions...I see the new versions of the control software have compatibility...

I have the Jet 1100C (canister model) hooked up to my buddy and it works great. The only thing you have to figure out is how to hang the hose so that it will travel with the moving head and stay away...

I was also thinking about it, and I upgraded to the newest SB control software, BUT I ran like 10 sheets of very intricately cut 1/2" MDF without a single error. SO I'm thinking it probably isn't a...

I've been back and forth with SB on this very same issue for two days now, and I thought I had it licked...but sadly no. I've run all the tests suggested above (I have a 73.8 efficiency rating by the...

excellent suggestions guys. I'll give those a try asap. I like the idea of doing a roughing pass with the vbit...especially when you consider that the little extra time could really save...

From my experience thus far I think I have to agree with you on the CMT bits. I picked up a few comparable (to the Onsruds in the "Starter Kit") from CMT and I have to say they seem to work better...

Yes I thought the speed might be a bit high. I put in a cheapo bit and pulled it back to 13000 and about 2ips. That really cuts the tearout and "fuzz" down a lot. I'll try the sanding sealer trick as...

I'm trying to use an Onsrud 60 degree bit in pine, oak, and MDF. Having tons of problems with chip tearout and bits of (forgive my lack of a better word for it) feathers left in the groove. I've...

I also use an 1100 CFM system, mine is from Jet. First off it works great for my machine, and the canister is soooo easy to clean, bags change out quickly as well. I have the Dust boot provided by...

From what I've read the lead laws are quite interesting. They apply not only to things a kid might put in their mouth because it fits (a small wooden toy engine for instance), but to things which are...

Cold doesn't seem to be a problem, but you will need to think about humidity and condensation. I wiped down pretty much everything steel with a thin layer of oil and there has been little to no rust....

I have the 48" standard model, and so far so good. But like others have pointed out there are some serious drawbacks (ie space limitations when using the powerstick, to some degree the accuracy, and...

I have a similar issue in my shop. The best I can do is use my 7 ft level and put it across the length of the machine every which way it will fit until I get it right.

Or alternatively you...

Oh and thanks for the replies!

I did some pretty serious adjusting of the rollers and got the tool marks down to almost nothing. I think at this point it's just a matter of fine tuning. Basically the rollers were not adjusted...

Has anyone experience a problem when surfacing the table on their buddy...basically where the first 4 or 5 passes around the perimeter are very rough and have obvious tool marks between passes. But...
