Hi all,

I have a job where I need to do a narrow (3/16") grove cut in a cabinet side for a striker plate. My usual pocketing tool is a .25" M.C. bit, which will be to big. I added a .125" spiral...

Woah...
Thanks for sharing. I've wondered how much a difference the aluminum skins make on the dibond compared to regular .25" PVC sheet stock.
What do you plan to do to fix it, reduce the font...

Haven't in a few years. When I was using it we found that the machine had to be dialed in with regard to the spoil board. Material thickness was also a big concern and you need to have a very...

Joe,
Many thanks for the gilding advice. Especially the 'free gold' tip for a beginner such as myself. I have a 1/2 sheet of 15lb. HDU leftover from a project awhile ago. Perhaps I could use that...

Joe,

Are those letters cut from sign foam? It looks like you are gilding the tops of the letters after painting the fonts? Possibly painted with the MM gold paint technique you shared with us on...

Thanks for the compliment Bleeth. That project was fun because of how smooth it can go when all the trades can communicate easily. In this case, templates were cut for anyone that asked (I usually...

Here's a weird one we did awhile ago that was out of the ordinary for us. In this project, the assembly jigs that were made on the shopbot were as important as the milling of the chery wood itself to...

I've never found Joe's comments to be unconstructive. Critical yes, but not unconstructive. Personally, I like being challenged over my ideas. It's not uncommon practice in a serious art and design...

Hi Mike
Thanks for sharing. Those signs are really cool and I had been thinking about making more of this kind of thing as were surrounding by lakes with cottages.
The wild edge bark looks...

I just recently noticed a similar issue when cutting thru paint mask on a surface that had paint applied with a roller as you mentioned Jim. Luckily for me it didn't matter for the fonts I noticed...

Well,

Here's borrowing a coupla pages out of Joe's book. I really like the use of extira for post wraps. Might have gone a little deep with the fluting on these. Make a note for the next one....

Whoops!
I incorrectly stated a 1/128" of deviation in 5' in the above post. Should have wrote 1/128" in 6'.
Panels in the above pictures were 72" long.

I also meant to say 'I see no reason NOT...

O.K., it's been about 40 sheets of melamine, MDF and plywood since I finished adjusting the rails using stretched fish line. Finished cutting some mdf parts this morning and decided to check some 6'...

My apologies for not responding sooner Joe,
Thanks for the tip! That sign looks really cool from what I can see. So much going on with surface texture, color, shapes and layers.
Is the substrate...

Hi Andrew,
I get the same curve in the same attitude of the parts wether they get cut from melamine, Mdf or ply.
curves always in the same orientation. It has always been present to a greater and...

Perhaps my problem is running a glue pot instead of a cartridge glue system? Was the Holzher Sprint a cartridge bleeth?
My lil K201 does all right and will run all day without much fuss. Cleaning...

Hmmmm......
A bander that has been designed to take table saw cuts.... I'm gunna have my doubts on that. Even my friends 14" lagazzi wasn't tight enough for his holtz-her. I'm running an scm 201....

Whew!!!

Thanks for the heads up guys. That coulda cost me. Appreciate the feed back.

Sheesh...
Sorry for the above image sizes. They're annoyingly large. I should have resized them instead of just looking at their file sizes before posting.
The idea of using a 2x4 support came to...

Well here's one upcoming PIE sign that were doing to help a kid earn an eagle scout badge. He's taking on an old run down cemetery to rehabilitate. Funds have ben raised for the sign materials and...

Thanks for the input Brady,

IF the machine's specked at +- 1/64" over length then have I reached it's point of diminishing returns?
By spinning one of the boards around and placing it next to...

Between Putting machine together and making a test cut as shown in previous attached picture Ma nature had a big laugh. After I got machine together and broke for lunch the power went out and didn't...

Though I didn't take a picture of it, the first thing that caught my eye was that the rail sagged in the middle a heavy 1/32".

SAY WHUH?!

I checked and rechecked up/down, left/right deviations...
