I did all of that, and it said that my photo's were too big, went to photo's properties and it said that they were 109 mb.........so how do you make the photo's smaller?????????? Bill

Hello Bill,

Yes, 109MB is very large for a single photo file size. You must have a very high-resolution professional camera for them to be that large! Typically, my 5 megapixel camera at highest quality setting will yield a photo file size of about 5MB maximum.

In any case, you probably installed some photo software that came with your camera. When you open a photo in your software, there should be a way to reduce the size of your photo. If you can find the "resize photo menu" (check your software's Help File), reduce the photo dimensions to 640x480 pixels, then save the photo as a .jpg. That should get you well under the size limit for the forum upload.

The only way to get them that big would be to scan them in to the computer. If everything is sety to best on a decent scan it could go that big.

Only other thing is they are 10.9 mb 1.09 mb, either way, still to large for here.

Hi Bill,

That worked, but the photo's viewable size is still very large at the current 1890x1417 size.

You are on the right track, but a size of 640x480 or up to 800x600 will be much better for viewing online.

Thanks Michael, I know what to do now. That is the 3/8" material by the way. Billwww.enhancedwood.com

It has been too cold to operate the CW lately. I finally got my workshop above 60 degrees today and tested the 14.5 inch wide sled using version 1.126 on 1/4 inch material. As before the CW prompted me for the thickness of the material and I entered .23 for the baltic birch ply I am using. The gear I wanted to carve came out fine with only minor marks on my 3/4 inch thick sled.

Hello Mike,

Can you tell me at what point does the machine prompt you to enter the thickness? ...during setup?...just before you install the cutting bit?...etc.

Thanks in advance.

I believe it is after the board is measured and I have told it to center on board and after it has requested all of the bits. It then homes and looks for the board surface on the keypad side of the CW and asks me to enter the board thickness. I plan on doing another gear tomorrow and I will pay closer attention to the sequence. I will attempt to take photos of the messages and post here.

Thanks, Mike. Looking forward to the details and pics if you have the chance to post them.
