This machine has taught me the world of CAD/Cam and introduced me to a group of outstanding people. However, now it is time to let her out of the barn and run as she was intended to. With work taking...

Eric,
I will give this a try. Can you send or post 8.5 files on your Google drive please? I do not have version 9

Mineral oil it is.
Andrew, thank you for the links. I will likely buy the wax and offer it as an add on.

Thank you both. I appreciate your contribution to this forum!

Andrew, what finish are you using on the cutting boards? Is it mineral oil and beeswax?

Eugene, for the wholesale prices you are charging, am I correct in saying you sell your boards with no...

Joe,
With windshield washer fluid it flows fine and does appear to speed up drying time.
I also took a hint from the European automotive painters who by law have to use low VOC paint. They use...

Thank you Joe for reminding me I own a Critter gun. And all the wisdom you provide via this forum.
Instead of water to thin the latex or acrylic, I use winter windshield washer fluid (blue). It is...

I bought a PRS 9648 two years ago to plan for retirement. No real business plan just more money than brains. I waffled at the time and didn't follow the advice to go with an Alpha. I regret...

Brady,
I snugged up the motors, double checked the pinions are tight too. I will also check 3,4,5 tomorrow.
However, I feel the most accurate and best method is doing what you recommended. So, I...

Thanks Brady. I will try this tomorrow morning.

I am trying to build the Russell Crawford stools he has listed on the Vectric site. These stools require two sided machining and holddowns inserted into either the spoilboard or another...

+1 for Fuji. as everyone has mentioned, awesome gun.

I took a slightly different approach. This was the very first project I cut on my SB over a year ago. It is a protective cover with no holes for the buttons. I couldn't figure out how to have a thin...

For what its worth, i bought the doors for my own kitchen. The wholesale supplier near me can sell me a completed 5 piece door cheaper than I can buy the lumber.
As for mdf doors, I use the Amana...

As a fellow Canadian I am smiling ear to ear at my two bothers. Both Kevin and Andrew represent what it means to be Canadian. We are polite, courteous and typically quite reserved but if offend...

What is the primary purpose for having this much adhesive on hand? Are you guys laminating or veneering on a regular basis? I assumed that most shops today used off the shelf laminations or...

Gerald,
Raptor nails will not pierce 1" hard maple. 3/4" yes but can also cause splitting of the wood. I am guessing oak would be the same. Softer woods are okay. I think T track with the ShopFox...

Gerald,
You can hold solid wood but only if it comes directly off of the planer or drum sander. If the finished wood has has sat for any length of time slight differences will allow vacuum to...

Bob, I stuck with the Black Box original configuration and didn't turn them on their side. If you look at the hurricane boxes they have the gate valves coming out of the top of the box. I figured...

Dan, awesome work!
Was this one finish path or did you run it once and then redo to clean up the fuzzies?
To leave it running and be elsewhere, at a minimum, I would have a Dropcam or camera with...

Here is mine all hooked up and working. Sealed the vacuum section of the case with silicone prior to assembly. No flanges on the plumbing, I used silicone again and a pressure fit right into the...

Here are the Flip-Op's files that I used.
I did enlarge the exhaust holes to be more oval shaped to allow room for the flex connector to attach. 1.5" connectors from HD.
Box is built, doing...

I am booked, payed and confirmed.
Andrew, I don't suppose you ride a motorcycle? I am planning on riding down on the Wednesday from Toronto. Last year I had to cancel at the last minute but as it...

Gerald,
I haven't called these guys but they are listed as a Superlite MDF distributor.

Andrew,
If I had your blower, I wouldn't worry about it either. :) However, I am building the frugal's man's version where every little bit helps.
For you, Windsor Plywood is in Thunder Bay,...

Joe, Gerald,
Over the last year I have used everything to hold material down. I started using two sided tape. That got expensive and time consuming. I have screwed material down but after 3 or 4 or...
