Jack,
When doing test cuts I realized that final pass did not match the drawing of the part due to width of the blade. So I drew straight line perpendicular to profile and then offset lines one...
I created the part profile in AutoCad and the offsets of the tool path at .05" roughing and .025" for finishing. Then I used Vcarve to create the part file. I can't remember what the saw blade...

Neville,
10,000-12,000 RPM has worked well for me.

I think that Bill let us off easy but a few inches of wet sloppy snow is better than nothing. I can say that the southern end of the state has been getting all of our up north snow I am not sure if...
Wow, I am excited not only do we get to have a Camp ShopBot but it will be the end of our drought

I have skinned birch hollow core doors with 1/4" MDF for styles and rails on both sides and even put a glass window at the top, then took them back to the door shop to be pre-hung. The interior...
George,
I have been wondering about how things were going for you. I am glad to see that you are up and ready to go. I'll need to call you and stop by sometime. I was very impressed with what...
I down loaded the V Carve Pro trial version a few days ago I really like what I see. It will trace quite well and you can isolate colors for more specific tracing. It will clean up a drawing with a...
Hani,

Allen,
I have nothing to show yet but my 3.5 yr. old is

It might be a month before I get any designs together...

This sample is 36 ga. copper hand pressed into a 1/8" deep pattern cut in mdf. I haven't had time yet but I think a stylus could make easy...
Mark,
Nice job on the sign and thanks for the tips.
