Danny and Kevin, you will have e-mail shortly.
Some family illness issues caused me to be out of pocket for awhile but I'm back and everything's ok now so we're getting back on track.
Roger, Andre, John and Terry, you will have e-mail shortly.
Terry, the short answer is yes but I'll give you more details in the e-mail.
I've been out of the loop with a family illness but...
Nice going Paco, my thoughts exactly!
Thanks Gerald, I think people will be really happy with it.
Dave,
After the initial release I'll work on adding a DXF importer which will be part of the Pro version. That would let you bring...
Danny and John, to make sure we stay within the forum guidelines since this is not a ShopBot product, I'm responding to your questions by e-mail. If anyone else has specific questions, please feel...
Well, I've finally gone and done it. The software that I wrote for myself and have mentioned on this forum several times is almost ready for beta. I have some developers alpha testing it now and it...
No problem Roger, better safe than sorry. I made of the mistake of making the e-mail generic when I should have personalized everything to make sure people knew who I was. I also got caught a little...
Ok, so you guys beat me to it. I'm putting an announcement post together to post on here today. This is the software that I had mentioned about a month back. It's something that I wrote for myself...
Nice job Steve, that is VERY cool! Did you extend the Z axis yourself or did you buy that from ShopBot?
Man, those are some cool toys!
I did the Ascension upgrade for both the speed and resolution but also in large part for the ability to use GCode with Mach3. The communictions have never been dropped once, and I've tweaked Mach to...
Based on what Brady said about there not being as much meat on the 2 flute compression spiral I went back and looked at the Amana bit that I'm using and I think I see why I may not be having the...
I would also recommend ArtCam for general woodworking and sign making. I also have Rhino and Maya but use them as traditional 3D modelers leaving most of the work to ArtCam and the Vectric products...
I use the Amana tools 1/4" 2 flute compression cutters to cut 3/4 Chinese birch. It's some tough stuff with unpredictable densities and the odd piece of metal between the plys. I generally cut in 2...
Whoops, I missed the North American part of the request.
Brian, I like Mahogany for carved doors. It cuts very easily with just about any kind of bit. There will be some hand finishing as with carving any wood but I think the results are very nice.
Brett, that is interesting. Were they talking about bearing life inside the spindle? Having disassembled the Colombo I can safely say that there is no way anything is getting inside there. I would...
Robert, maybe I missed it above but what is the thickness of your spoilboard after surfacing both sides? I've noticed that if I just take the skin off of 3/4 Trupan on both sides, the sheet is still...
Brett, the spindle is completely sealed so there is no dust that can get to the spindle bearings. The case has channels in it that guide the air from the fan down through the case and out the bottom....
I tried several different Wagner guns and never got good results, plus the cleanup was terrible. I finally got a Graco DX from home Depot for $299. It is a light duty version of the professional...
Mike, I think I speak for everyone when I say... OUCH!
An odd idea but with valid logic I think. Bandsaws are used to cut meat, often when it is frozen or nearly frozen because it is rigid then. Freeze the rubber in a chest freezer or somthing that will...
Fear is the reason I didn't want to try it but now that I've pulled it apart I'm not too worried. As Brady said you just press the old ones out and press the new ones in, so far it doesn't look like...
Brady, I have an older model Fein and a Rigid shopvac. The shopvac pulls more vacuum (5") than the fein (4.5") so I'm thinking I need to get a newer Fein. What model are you running? I'm not even...
