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.

Power 48 hours 56 minutes

OK, it's time to revive this thread, cause we heard today of someone with over 3500 hours on his A model machine. WOW!

69 hours 27 mins on mine.

Holy cow it feels like I've done a lot of projects to have so few hours compared to y'alls--I feel like such a noob! Some of you have a massive amount of experience/carves.

I have 286 hours of cut time on my machine and it's a "B" I believe. I have a Rock Chuck (which I love) with the Ring Neck vacuum system on it that also does a great job keeping it clean inside. So far no major problems.......
