First I apologize if this is duplicate but can't find elsewhere. I have some questions about the link... I have an older prt w/4g update. No vac, single PC router.
-I normally screw sheets...
Don,
I don't have the shopbot link but have been nesting on the THM control for several years now (I believe code is the same). Many times, changing the size of the material + 1/2" or so and...
In a crazy sort of way I ran this this link a couple years ago :-). We have both the Thermwood and Shopbot routers which are both excellent machines. A couple years ago the THM was down for routine...

Brady,
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll report back as soon I get the bit in and give a try.

Having troubles with edge quality on Gatorfoam edge quality. I have seen the archived post:

Mostly I'm interested in bit part numbers...
Yes, double thanks to Barry and the guys from Shopbot. I know a lot of work goes into getting these camps together. Thank you again for hosting.

Steve,
We used to do a lot of latex around here, and some brands can take up to 4 weeks to completely cure. If you can spray, I would highly encourage you to take a look at ML Campbell's line-up...
Danny,
My speeds are close to Ryan's. We are running 10"/sec and 17k rpm. I got these from the Onsrud tech on the phone. Interestingly, he gave me formula changing speeds for when a bit starts...
Danny,
We cut this all the time... Compression is only way to go. Unfortunately this stuff eats bits for lunch. You're going to need more than a couple of bits for 39 cabs. The bottom 32nd and...
"A dream team would be an alliance between Shopbot and Thermwood." Terry, you don't know how right you are. My interaction with both of these companies is amazing. Both Shopbot and Thermwood bust...
Danny,
I really don't know which direction to point you... other than which direction not to go. We purchased Cabinetvision a year or so ago and no longer use. I've bumped into a couple of shops...
Mike,
I've done some similar work for a couple of the shops in the local mall. Maybe I'm not understanding exactly what it happening, but the customer likes the shiney gold and silver. So I take...
We've looked into this and the finish is awesome. There is a guy here in Phoenix that has the setup to powdercoard MDF and he has a ton of money in it with the ovens and such.
Recently our paint...
Ryan,
Another trick if you are using water based products (interior), One thing I do is switch paint types between the base and the carving. If you paint the base with a latex enamal, mask,...
Ryan,
I use both the Avery mask and plain old shelf paper from the grocery store. Both work great for me. If you go the shelf paper route, the only brand that works is the Kitrich clear and you...
Matt,
I know I read somewhere both Pottery Barn and IKEA both use powder coating on some of their items. It didn't mention specifically which items had powder and which this "10 step" process, but...
Jim,
I have that same router. You shouldn't have to hack at anything with the saw. If you pull the top off (like you are going to change the brushes) you will be able to pull that post. As I...
Shari,
When purchasing your milwaukee router, make sure you order a 1/4" collet. Mine (base package) did not come with one and it took a couple weeks to find one here in Phoenix.
Fred
Forgot to add... that coupling this product and some of its output with vectric's v-carve and artcam and there is some really nice/fun output.
Fred
Many years ago there was a very nice vector drawing package called Expression by a company called Fractal Design (media house). It was very unique in that it could brush strokes and very natural...
Brady,
I finally got the name of the guys where the samples came from:

Neal,
Where do you purchase the WR-155? Just looked on their website and they don't have anyone here in AZ.
Thx
Fred
Brady and Bill-
Yes and Yes. Was using an oil based kilz and a polyester resin. Switched to water based kilz and epoxy and it looks/works great. I've never worked with foam before and it sure...
