Just a question. Don't mean to hijack, but it is somewhat in keeping with the OP's question. Is there such a thing as a plug in wifi module or something similar that would allow the CNC to be run by...

My ShopBot, old PRT96, came with a pause button. It's still connected to the control board, but It's been years since I've rolled up the cord and hung it on the wall. If I remember right it's a good...

If that's a 3/8" cut it makes my point even more valid. It looks like the cut has gone at least the width of the bit past the corner in that photo. That's .375". Where did that much play come from?...

If that cut was made with a 1/4" bit, that's a lot more movement than just a few .01".

I usually don't have time restraints on 3d projects. So, if I have a job that requires a smoother surface with little, or sometimes no sanding, I found taking .001" off on a final pass gets rid of...

I might be wrong, but it seems like the ball end already cuts from the edge as it moves across the surface. The exception might be plunge cuts. I'd be interested in how this discusion goes though, as...

We live in a climate that (except for this year) gets below 0°f this time of year. I've never had the unheated space drop below 45°f, 20 years and counting. Only the garage door wall, is exposed to...

I think you can apply that argument to many many trades. I've been a sign shop owner for decades. I started out hand lettering. Then computers came along and I started punching paper pounce patterns...

Not sure, but I imagine someone has run across this before.
I learned several years ago that the TIG welder would stall the CNC. I would start the CNC, then go in the next room and work on welding...

Is it better to stick with 9.5 for awhile until they come up with a fix. Or is 10 still worth the upgrade?

I second what Brady said. I bought a VFD a few months ago and the included instructions were sketchy at best. Went to you tube and they had the same complaint about the instruction manual. I even had...

I've cut a fair amount of HDU and also pink & white foam from the big box store with 1/2" bull nose. Single finish pass is all I used. In the early days I even ground a bull nose end on a 1/2" drill...

Thanks Brian.

Thanks for the compliments Russ. It's appreciated. I get a wild hair every once in awhile, but those times are getting fewer & fewer. I feels good to have this job done though.

Thanks Robtown. I've been through a few straight line wind storms that did damage, but nothing like this. Once is more than enough for me.

Thanks Joe. Yea, we were lucky. There's houses all around us that are no more.

Couple more. There's CNC millwork all over the house. A little at a time here and there.

Wow, when you think of flooding, kids isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind. lol.

We had to replace both the entry door and window above it in the foyer. That ended up being a strip to...

That is pretty cool.

Thanks for the comments Scott. I used hydro barrier and anti-fracture cloth on the whole floor, all the seems and hydro barrier behind all the tile, floor and walls. A little over kill, but like you...

And, a few of the house after the tornado. Looks bad, but we came thought it in much better shape than many around us.

Thanks Brady. After almost 3 months of working in my spare time, my favorite part of the project is that it's done. :rolleyes:

Thanks Cory. I have a lot of files on the computer for cabinets, millwork, etc. that I've done around the house over the years. It does save a ton of money and gives you the opportunity to make stuff...

After shots. A lot of the woodwork/cabinet work is from the CNC and wasn't damaged too bad by the tornado, so it stayed.

Thanks Scott. Yes, it made a huge difference. We had to remodel because of a tornado from almost 3 years ago now. Of course the master bath was on the bottom of the re-do list. That coupled with some...
