Wood in hand is worth 2 in the bush !
Last batch, posting for a member purchasing
Here is a pic of the same pieces about 4 years later, still retain their original hue, a bit dusty to be sure. [Sorry if the pic is sideways, never can tell from forum to forum]
CNC is just a tool to use, or not, as one sees fit. I do alot of things "by hand" but of course, tools are used unless I am to gnaw the wood with my nails and teeth. So I am not sure [and don't...
Not exactly clear what it is you are trying to do, what tooling/settings you are using ect. Offhand, that does not even appear to be a lithophane.
I switched to LED a few months ago, glad I did.
Brightest was too bright for me [daylight I think], "warm" did the trick for me, I don't want it as bright as an operating room in my garage.
...
Nice floor.
Not nearly as prolific cutting as most of you guys, pistol grips, yoyos, light switch covers ,guitar pick guards are a few things I make from cutoffs.
Burn alot too, even save my...
I'd differ on the poplar, get a nice piece it can be stunning, almost marble like ,,, But getting a nice slab can take some doing.
Cherry and maple to me are boring for 3D, but yes they do cut...
Check for worn brushes, usually the culprit in router power issues.
Power cord can also go bad, has happened to me.
Just using a juice sniffer to see if it is getting power is not good enough,...
I would wager mechanical problem too.
Wouldn't hurt to try a different font, if you haven't already ,,, And add a zero plane.
I use a 1/32 ballnnose and get details down to a single strand of hair.
8x10 takes around 5 or 6 hours, could be less if you are willing to sacrifice detail.
I've sold quite a few and made some as...
Simple holes are no problem, but if you want any kind of shaping other than a hole, specialized tooling is required.
Diamond tipped hole saw - Might go into sticker shock depending on the size/brand.
Not sure exactly why [technically] since I never had the need to find out, but I recall reading that you cannot do lithos with VCP.
Edit:
Confirmed, only Aspire and PVC can create lithos
...
pics would be nice if possible, just the black and oddballs, have enough whites and grey
I agree these can be a very tough sell.
People who think nothing of spending $60 for a new iphone case or $40 for a half assed screen protector will recoil into instant sticker shock if you want...
Have 1 more Priority box of 6 left and thats it, sold around a dozen boxes and I am down to personal stash after that. [Po ladies dread seeing me, boxes are pretty heavy]
As stated in OP with the...

I use a big old spring [probably 10-14"] that attaches to a hook in the ceiling, and a heavy duty velcro strap at the other end of the spring for the hose for quick removal when necessary, all found...
Came out very nice, have done a few of those as well.
I leave my machine unattended all the time, the ability to make something while doing something else [whether it be sleeping, going to the...
I could make a table far better than that - In my dreams, nice work !
Hey you spelled Property wrong !
No just kidding, looks nice.
I learned early on that light will shine through in spots that the eyeballs cannot detect so I always overcoat, usually once one way,...
I started a thread here about that cocobolo, nice wood but something unnatural about it and it still doesn't add up in my mind.
It drastically increased its vibrancy when cut, almost as if being...
Looks like a poodle is trapped behind the wood !
That is a little slice of cocobolo, looks freakishly orange I know.
Thanks for the orders, all have been shipped and I have a bit more if anyone is in need.
