Does anyone know for sure. They did not give me a deadline a few months ago.

I don't like the little tabs. I need these to be an exact fit and don't want to sand afterwards. It can't be that difficult to add a pause function to the software.

What I have to do now is baby...

Pkunk, thanks I think I'm going for it.

Can you put in a suggestion to put a "pause" function in the software from my other post. I'm sure you know the big guys at LHR.

I have not been around for a while but I just upgraded and now it wants my id and password to activate the license. I am clueless if I have one so I went for new user and put in my machine serial...

John, thanks, you were a great help

John, I have never seen or used a metal lathe but that sounds like it would help if you say it will give accuracy. But you also talk of a cross feed on my existing lathe do you have any suggestions...

John, yes basically what I want to do is fit one circle into another. Or a round block into a cup. I want the CW to carve a cup with straight walls and straight bottom then on another piece of wood I...

John, exactly, I am trying to eliminate the turning part to make the 2 jars fit into each other. Once I use the CW to fit the jars into each other I will then turn them so that some of the colors of...

Yes I want to fit one jar in the other. And yes 1inch is fine. I am acually trying to make jewerly boxes. If I can this working I will make the base of the jar the make the cover the same way. My...

I want to carve 2 jars from 2 different color woods. I need one to fit snug into the other so I can glue them and turn it. Has anyone done this or have a simply way of being accurate. I tried but my...

Is it OK if I turn the lights out in my garage when the machine is carving? The reason I'm asking is I tried to carve 4 boxes with cut thru sides and 1 side of 1 box did not cut at all. Those the...

Al, sorry I just wanted Chris or someone from CW to call me on this. Do you know the new number for support. When I called today it said something like it was out of order. I read on the site that...

Is there a chance that CW could start a newforum just for Probe questions.

Mike

Help.. When I start it measures the wood for a few inches then the wood stops moving but the belts sounds and are still moving. I opened the side and the grears look OK but I noticed the rear belt is...

John, I know exactly what you are saying in the word "bowl" problem. For now I just want to use these carved segments for eith the top or bottom so they won't be at an angle. Maybe when I get good...

John, thanks that helps, I quess I will have to use Corel, hopefully Adobe Photoshop has something like that so I don't need to but Corel. I really wish CW would just ask what arc I want. I really...

John, thanks that helps out alot. But one major thig I need to know is what is the arc of that curve such as 30degrees. For example if I wanted to cut 12 of those pieces that you did then I would...

I want to carve 12 seperate pieces with each having the same design but I want each to have an arc of 30 degrees. Each piece I want to be maybe about 2 inches wide. When I'm done carving I will cut...

I'm so sorry Bob I meant a thckness sander vs a planer not Jointer such as a Dewalt planer. But I get the impression that a thickness sander is better.

thanks
Mike

Bob, what would be better a thickness planer or planer?

Mike

Is it possible is I have a board that is not exactly the correct thickness across the whole board that I could plane it with the CW. I am not that good yet with my bandsaw.

thanks

I think I probally fixed my own problem. I noticed the bit was not rotating but the shaft was making noise as if it was. So I re-connected the shaft to the bit and it went OK from there. I still...
