Oramask 813
On PVC I use a "0" flute at low RPMS and cutting aggressively.
I did a separate motor for each quadrant - Eric bought my machine.
As usual Scott, AWESOME work!!
So sorry to hear...I had asked him several questions back in 2008-09 when I was getting started...I chuckle now, but at the time thought I was dealing with one of my old drill sgts!! But his advice...
I cut my teeth on a Shopbot machine...going to an event at headquarters in 2007. I purchased a 48x96 PRT in 2008 and used it part-time for years. I decided to go to a smaller unit as I was using...
Pretty sure I can put a check mark after all of the above...if I could only remember when my pencil was...
Eric, is that the machine you bought from me??
I have done 50+ "PVC" historical signs with Oramask...works great!http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=26562&stc=1
I used the Onsrud 30 degree bit for my full table (4x8) gasket to cut cut 248 coasters...worked great!

Glad you clarified Scott!!
love to see you business card...
Prayers for sure Scott, had back surgery, shots, in pain for over 40 years, but nothing like you're going through - we pray for expert skill of the surgeon, strong screws and rods and speeding...

Thank you for the suggestions.
Dick
Thank you all for your input!!
I am currently working on a large 2-sided sign made out of Port Orford Cedar - the letteres will be V-Carved and painted - normally I would use a spar varnish over the entire sign when...
I am looking for something I can use to fill a V-carved design that is tinted - I want to be able to sand it flush with the piece. This a design carved in beer flight paddles...Any suggestions? ...
Do it Scott! Paul's a wealth of knowledge..
Dick
Probably just the nature of that piece of wood...
Mahogany needs a lot of sealer as it is porous...I've used Spanish Cedar (actually in the Mahogany family) and Mahogany for exterior signs... great to carve, resistant to rot and bugs...just need to...
For a $1000.00 it's not only high tech but high priced!
Dick
Scott, if you go the Amana route the small one like I have is just fine is just fine...I used it on the big ShopBot and now on the smaller machine...cutters are easily and accurately replaced
Dick
Zamm, I use the smaller Amana RC 2249 http://tools.toolstoday.com/search?w=planing%20bits and love it. Dick
Joe, do you a Sikkens clear coat on your signs? And if so which one?? Thanks
