Problem with traction Belt

[badger]

Has anyone found a way of using the new lightsaber bit without ruining the traction belt. I have gone through 10 belts already.

If anyone has found a way of using this new bit without ruining the traction belt let me know.

:rolleyes:

Awe...see now Badger, you didn't read the manual. It MEASURES the thickness first and the beam stops at the bottom of the wood!...Gezzzzz...:rolleyes:.....Read the book!...lol

Read the book, I just couldnt understand this light side dark side stuff so I thought I could just wing it. Oh well live and learn.

Yea...that part confused me as well.... :confused: . But then I figured it didn't matter because, it's GOT to be smarter than me! http://www.carvewright.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Chris and Badger,
I can't believe you have both missed the obvious! Simple steps to prevent catastrophic burn through on the traction belts:
1. Cut out aluminum foil the size of your wood project
2. Prep the "BOTTOM" of the wood with TiteBond III
3. Glue the aluminum foil (Shiney side up) to the bottom of the board
4. Dry for 2 1/2 hours
5. Lase on.. should be nice, crisp and clean cuts without damage to the traction belts.

Good luck!

:confused: ***DISCLAIMER*** :confused:
The above steps should only be implemented when using a LHR Certified Light Saber. Do not stare directly at the refracted beam as it will make you stupid. Body armour, eye protection and Right Guard should be worn at all times while operating in the desert heat. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is the only approved power source for the light saber.
