All,

Years ago, someone was kind enough to help with with an A-10 ptn file. The subject strings have since been erased or archived, and I have no idea whom it was.

Attached is an image of the...

Gashawk, I would love to have a Corona at my computer!! Perhaps referring to Cortana? LOL

Dick,

Actually no I dont. Twice a year I clean out the scrap pile making cutting boards.

Well, since its the first time its happened to me since initial purchase in 2008, I dont use sleds that often, but something to consider.

Disregard previous happiness....

30 minutes into it, this happened..... New Y motor ordered....85600

OMG, I feel like such an idiot! Tested another board, another pattern, no issues. Just for S&G's I ran original project board through table saw thinking perhaps just a bit out of square? Sure...

Bergerud, what do you mean by backlash?

As a thought, after noting that during the length measurement, at a random spot, I would get CHECK BRASS ROLLER message. So, I swapped brass rollers, and...

Well, I must have irritated the carving gods recently. Need some diagnostic help. Both machines having issues now.
Machine #1: Goes through the measurements, finding bit, etc, perfectly. Carving...

All,

Thought I would share this image, took a while to merge imaging and get a good output! Prototype set for 24 x 32." Of course I will have to split it down the middle, but it can be done.
...

I can tape to the ends, but a sled would be too short wouldnt it?

Steve, yes, I always use two layers along the tracking edge. Something else for consideration, this piece is 2" thick oak, 8 x 38" so there is some weight to it.

Ok all, help my memory here. Whats causing these slots to shift to the left?

Steve, thanks for the assist sir!! :-)

All, I need a second or third set of eyes to look over this .mpc before I put into production.

The two larger slots are dado slots for two vertical uprights to support a chevron shaped shadowbox....

Yep, its the cut off switch, right side. Motor engages when you push against it.

Thanks B!

All,

I just returned from overseas after 6 months in the desert and the first thing I wanted to do was get back in the shop.
So I started a project and didnt even think to re-lube the...

Found the issue, it would seem the first 3 wires in the ribbon have torn. Back in shape tomorrow, after $10 for the cable, and $59 in overnight shipping, lol.....

ALL,

This is a new one for me....

Just cleaned the rails and the nuts due to crank down binding. Machine is reassembled, went to start a new project, and when the "Stay Under Rollers" pops up,...

Rolltide, I have an A model originally from Sears, and a C model. Both run awesomely. Do things happen from time to time, sure. But the biggest thing is taking care of it. I clean mine after...

Copy, will do sir and advise....

Designer 3 sir...

Dan,

Can you alter the breech.mpc to reflect a casing diameter of 1.875" ? The one previous was great, now I need to lay a real round in one.

Please let me know.....

Mike

Dan,

Can you rescale this to 3.5" diameter? I am trying to do a production of 100, and I cannot seem to mirror or copy/paste them into a project that is 3 per board.

I dont understand why I...

Here is the logo piece and the chevron, and images....
