Hi Phil - I'd highly recommend Sketchup. They still have a free version. Oops - looks like it only opens skp jpg and png's. Always a catch.
However, if anyone you know has a paid version, you could...
Machine can run home and land reasonably close to precise location, even with worn pinions. However, once a bit is spinning against the workpiece, all kinds of torque is applied, and loose/worn gears...
Lamination. Use raw veneer, which is typically .020" thick. 3 layers x .020 = .060. 1/16= .0625, so you're going to be almost spot-on, give or take a few thousandths. Further, you're properly...

Hey Ken- good to hear from you again.
I've been using the MDO ply with MDF plenum zoned out for vac, sealed with thinned down yellow glue. Glue down spoil board of 3/4 MDF, seal edges a couple...

That's right - I took "Industrial Arts", which first half was metal shop with you as teacher- making scrolls and welding with Oxy/Acetylene torch. Believe it or not, I still have the hammer I made on...

Funny you should mention lighting up a Kent dust shoe...
I finally got around to doing so a few weeks back. Had leftover 24V LED tape cutoffs from a kitchen job. Tapped into the 24V fan motor...

Downsizing is only going to reduce the flow.
Don't waste a nickel on smaller stuff, especially PVC.
Keep every bit of that big, beautiful, 6" metal pipe in place. Replace any PVC fittings or...
Generally, pressing the blue "reset" button in between the green "start" button and the red "stop" button should take care of it. There should be an additional red stop button located on the...

Particularly interesting to me was the "lin-wax" methodology. Pretty dang brilliant. Really appreciate you sharing your...
