Folks -

Well, we got the spindle running and the table surfaced! We used a 1" planer bit with 75% stepover at 1.5"/sec and it took 75 minutes to surface the table -.008. The spoilboard registered flat within 1/8" along X, and 1/32 on Y. There were some sawtooth ridges that I think are because Z is *just* out of plumb - how would you reset something that looks level - it would be only a nudge.

What kind of feed speeds could I expect cutting MDF with a 1/4" straight bit and the 3 hp colombo?

Finally, how (again, sorry) do you reset the table size in SB/PW? Somehow I have a 48" table in my previews and need 60/96 or 48/96... I *know* I've seen it, but darned if I can find it now...

Thanks again and sorry if I drifted... We're just giddy at finally making our first cut!
