Thanks for the input. I will check your sources out. I was use to just going to Lowe's and picking them up. Those shelves are empty. Thanks.
Anyone out there know a source for dust mask and spray respirator filters? In my 48 years of woodworking, I never thought I would have trouble getting either one. Corona! Everywhere I check, out of...
Thanks for the reply. I noticed in the latter you didn't use the speed reduction. How did that factor in? You have give me the courage to give this a try. I may ask you something again in future....

The truck is just what I was looking for except the customer ask for a 10 wheeler instead of a 18 wheeler. I will keep looking for something from the sites others mentioned above. I've done a...

I shaped a spiral handrail down a set of steps a few years ago. Only a 150 inch radius. The Bot give it the correct twist. Took a little while to write file. My question is has anyone done this on or...

Thanks

Thanks for the help on this. I'm sure I can make a 2D cad drawing of what I want. I have Bob CAD CAM and Bob Art software. I don't have any experience with setting up carving with a ballnose bit. The...
I would like to carve foot prints with my ShopBot like the picture. I have done V-carving with v-bits, but no carving with round nose. If any one can help me it sure would be appreciated....
In my R&D yesterday, I came upon the Starrett automatic center punch. As you push down on it, it releases and makes a point. I may not mount it directly to spindle, but some where on the Z axis. Then...
