    Not totally sure without actually checking but I think it is about 90.
    Sometimes I'm just totally underwhelmed!

    I hope the winner get a free carbide bit or two.. never used the 1/16 bit yet.

    Here are my times , all working 100% with the exception of my carriage adjustment on unit one I lost the right side gear pinion and it just hangs however it still carves fine as i adjust the table each load.. all units have the 1/2" Rock installed but the CT would be same i am guessing.

    unit 1- 904
    unit 2 -591
    unit 3- 419

    total cut motor time 1914 hrs

    My first machine had about 300 on it. Then my Rev B has a few more. I have replaced my controller twice but I think the first before the change was about 400, then about 270, and I just hit 65 with my new controller. I dont use it everyday but I log about 16 or so on the weekend when I can. I have got a grand in hours just all spread out. I finally learned how to ground my machine so hopefully I wont burn any more controllers.

    Well I got my CW in Oct 09, it has:
    cut motor 31 hours 38 minutes
    Power 48 hours 56 minutes
    servo 38 hours 33 minutes
    Scan 4 hours 19 minutes

    Now who can beat these numbers (low that is)
    Using Designer 1.187, STL importer, Center line, conforming vectors, scanning probe/PE, and the ROCK chuck.
