Gerald:

My rollers all came through incorrectly drilled, so they couldn't be aligned with the machine. We fabricated 4 L-shaped brackets to attach to the frame and adjust the ends of the roller...

Bob:
It's a long shot, but I had comm problems that I ultimately traced to a bad fuse. (F4) Instead of failing open, the current limiting fuse ratcheted the current up and down on one leg of the...

Drawn up in Rhino. Cut from 2 sheets A/C 1/4 ply + 1/2 ply scraps. Buddy 48 w/ 10' power stick.

Where are you in Pennsylvania? It might be worth your looking at Harbor's website, calling them for advice, and finding out if they deliver to your area.

Thanks Andrew: I saw the photos of your setup. As I noted above, I have had both upward curl and downward, mostly at the corners, which don't get to the rollers except at full X travel. It is...

I installed a 4 x 8 table on a 10 foot power stick with the ShopBot outfeed supports. I used 5/8 MDO with a 3/8 MDF spoilboard epoxy glued to it. The results have not been satisfactory. With changing...

For my 4 x 8 Buddy table, I was worried about weight, so went with 5/8 MDO and 3/8 moisture-resistant MDF. We glued it with epoxy, and were amazed when a corner separated in about a foot....

We've had good luck at about 2/3 that price with

Ron fixed one of my issues, but another has arisen. The edges of the female mould have tool marks rather than a clean and fair edge. I've tried bit sizes form 1/8 to 1/2, and raster X, raster Y and...

Ron Churches took the time to work with my file until he found a way. Setting the machine margin at .0001 (or other value a lot smaller than the bit, causes PW3 to ignore the margin cut and...

E-mail on the way, thanks.

That's probably the answer for ones with a center flange, but I had hoped just to use the original flat surface. I also hoped to use the same process to pocket for inset of shafts, etc.

I've done that, and the border cut is right against the sides of the pocket.:(

Already did that. Thanks

Thanks Steve, but that thread sort of overlaps my problem and doesn't solve it. Putting negative numbers in for machining margins, where the program will accept them, does not stop the program from...

I am trying to learn how to cut female moulds for fiberglass layup of foil shapes. I can model the foil in Rhino, subtract it from a block and get what looks right in Rhino and after export in...

Thanks Brady. I don't think Harbor Sales still has a Baltimore facility. They scarfed a 12 foot panel for me twenty-five years ago for a boat that my son and I built. They're now in Sudlersville, on...

I am about to mount a 4 x 8 table on the powerstick for my Buddy. I see in prior posts that Brady Watson recommends MDO support board and high moisture resistant MDF for the spoilboard. Brady, I'll...

Thanks Bill. Please ignore the e-mail I sent you. As soon as I know a bit more about the scarfs I need for the Stambaugh boat, I'll be using the utility and downloading the cut files.

I'm trying to track down the file for plywood wavy scarfs, but am not having any luck. I can't find anything on 100k Garages or the Shop Bot site. Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?
