Saw this design on the internet. Very cool idea. Takes some trial and error to sort out details.
First, thanks for attacking this topic. I got my indexer working pretty well using ShopBot documentation with a lot of searching and reading thru this forum. But, it would’ve been a big help to have...
Very cool. Now, if I could paint like that....
I just figured out what you are asking — no dye, color change results solely from compression. Also, the effect makes you think about the strategy for the design — which features to press into the...
Yeah...I’ve been playing with some scraps of plastic I collect, like Corian, HDPE, acrylic, etc. I’m still a bit shy about cutting metals. Need to get over that. Especially for small details in a...
Thank you. Harbor Freight, bench top, $80. But, I think I could’ve just mashed it in a bench vise. Never done leather work, just cheating by watching YouTube videos. Hoping to get my kids to design...
Here's another, close up photo of the key fob with debossing.

Debossing die carved into HDPE, pressed into veg tanned leather key fob purchased at Michaels. Pretty fine details — even though can’t be seen on the die itself. . Logo comes from a video blogger....
Birch would work just as well, and I probably have a bit more lying around. Thanks.
To secure stock that is too large for my indexer, I tried to remove enough material via my table saw so it would fit into the chuck's jaws. Looking for other methods, I liked the square metal...
Thanks for kind words. Looking forward to doing more. And, anything to get my kids away from iPads/ computer games. Now, if I could just get one of them to learn (the free) OnShape CAD program.... ...
After winning our state tournament, my daughter's 11-12 y.o. fastpitch softball team is representing WV at the Southeast Region Tournament this week in Georgia - facing teams from TN, GA, NC, SC, FL,...
Thank you for your service. I'm always looking for training alternatives - not much offered in southern WV. I just subscribed to training program offered by Legacy...
I believe this is what happened. I added a new bit to the Tool Database in Vectric's Aspire. To avoid conflicts, I assigned a high Tool Number -- No. 20, I think. While stumbling around and...
Guys, thanks for the help -- some day I hope to pay it forward. Got home late tonight. Stupid day job. I'll work through the suggestions/questions tomorrow evening. My screen shot is a couple of...
I have a newer PRS Standard (3.8.14) with spindle running Vectric Aspire (4.510). First time this has happened.
After loading a cut file that worked fine yesterday (created in Aspire and saved...
Sorry for my slow response - I missed e-mail alert. I removed and inspected the switch - which I should've checked before starting a thread. Looks like I've been driving the switch into the nut....
The Y proximity switch (#2) now has lit LED and lit indicator (#2) in the Position window (screen shot attached), with message instructing to move away from stop. The Y position is about a foot away.
In my very first camp at TechShiop-Pittsburgh, I took away at least three critical techniques that will truly save me hours of frustration and redundancy. My cnc lives in my basement, and I don't...
I'm running a PRS Std with spindle, z-zero plate, and indexer - about 2yo.
My x proximity switch isn't working - stays dark whether on or off the limit/nuts. I checked the wiring connections -...
In Charleston, I have a PRS Standard (spindle) with indexer on a 4'x8' table, running Aspire. I'm still climbing the steep side of the learning curves for all three. And, this is my first post. I...
