Michael,
I do agree with all your comments. My reason for doing what I did is twofold. 1. in order to fix the problem and make the machine work again I needed to spend about $250 and wait for...

Greg,
10-4 but, the only way to fix it anyway was to replace motor $140 and flex shaft $75 plus all the shipping. At the least, I bought time (10 hours so far).

Lawrence,
Yes, NASA has done spectacular things, and I do support them, we have two jets that race in the Reno Air Races and have built 9 of the jets that race (we hold the course speed record...

The Cut Motor Drive Cable on my machine rounded out the female shaft on the motor (go figure another design problem). Every time I try to do a project for a customer on this machine and make some...

Never mind, the wires came off the little bracket that holds them and were in the way

Dummy

The plate that pop's out and the bit then touches is not popping out, everything else works fine and I can stop the bit with my hand and it still does the project, it also does not look like it is...

Al,
Thanks for the idea, I made my arc (it is 24" long by 2.5" and from center to outside edge is 3" drop) and then used my pattern as you suggested miniature/smaller
laid end to end at various...

Gents (Ike),
Have been making moulding (same pattern as need to bend) for house. Now I want to
put over an arched window. The moulding would be approximatly 2 1/2" wide X 24" long and 3/4"...

Badger, Ike,

Thanks for your comments and yes the networking may be worth the price. Sorry did not get back sooner but was out of town. Ike, will find out schedule on
Thursday as to when I...

Ike,
Well yes, I am trying to find out if I will learn more than what I get from Tips and Tricks.

I will be up in Susanville next week ish putting an engine into Doc Blevins L29.

Ike,
The $400 is for the two of us to registure, then, it is plus airfair, hotel and meals, so this trip is well over a grand. That is why I ask the question. I understand what it says the agenda...

Gentlement,
Not sure where to ask this. My Wife and I would both like to attend (from Reno) but before I spend $400 on this + airfair + hotel + food, have they had one of these before? Was it worth...

Thanks Ike, I guess I did not pay attention to where you were, Susanville. I will keep that in mind when I have problems on the next project. Do you know Doc Blevins up there?

Dave

Ike,
I will try turning around if possible without a lot of gear changes. The problem with shipping in, is 1. if you insure the machine the cost to ship two ways will be $150. 2. would be...

Gents,
I have now cut 60 feet of moulding. I am stacking 3 wide and taping together and carving the center and yes, I am using aux. rollers. After every 30 feet, I have to take the rollers out and...

Al,
Thanks for answer, I am making baseboard moulding and the carvings are random (not to end of board) so if I just shorten the board by the 4" in my pattern, that should take care of it without...

Cabinetdesigner,
Now my wife has asked if it is possible to also have the bubbles as it's own file with no fish?

Sorry,
Thanks,
Dave

Cabinetdesigner,

When putting the fish with no bubbles into my project, it still has a small bubble in the top left corner, can this be removed without too much trouble?

Thanks,
Dave (sorry...

Gents,
I am making some moulding. When measuring, the board goes to the left, then to the right, then to the left and then back to right. On a 12' board, this takes forever. How can I bypass this...

Gents,
I am carving some moulding and the machine in order to measure the board runs to the left, then to the right, back to the left and then back to the right. For a 12' board, it takes...

What you say about the narrow board makes good sense to me, so, if I loaded three boards and sandwiched my carving board
in the middle, this may be the solution. I will try this today, thanks.

Cabinetdesigner thank you for the help. We are making baseboard moulding and this fish will be part of the design. Our house is a bar inside and out (looks like a Margaritaville Resturant) and very...

Thanks, I will check pressure. The machine only has 66 hours on it and on small projects no problem, but on long ones, it has
always done.

Dave

Cabinetdesigner,

Thank you very much I think it will work just fine, but if I could ask one more favor, could we do
one without the bubbles.

Dave

Gents,
I have sandpaper belts. As the machine rolls, they move to the left side of the machine and will roll up on themselves. Is there an adjustment for this (like on a beltsander)? They will...
