    Default Dovetail

    Has anyone else tried this? I keep getting an error, I tried to set up the configuration for shopbot, maybe I should try reading the owners manual

    I replied to your email. I think the error is that your feedrate is set too high.

    For some reason the email I sent you was blocked (message not allowed for policy reasons.)

    I've added the ability to specify feedrate in units/minute, and output the code in units/second.

    This was the issue mentioned in the previous posts.

    Default Test Cuts

    I got some new bits to play with. I used a 3/16" upcut for the pins, and a 7/16 8° for the tails. Came out absolutely perfect.

    I bought it but haven't had the time to even open it and go thru any info. So let me ask, has anybody made any dovetails with it yet? Any pictures you can post?
    Scott? you seem to be the moist ambitious among most of us...have you? I don't recall Scott do you have a desktop? If so, does it have the ability to cut something over the edge? (like where you would have to mount a vertical vise)
