I am currently looking into using a simular unit from Grizzly, I haven't bought it yet but I believe it will be sufficient to at least keep the dust managable. Eventually when I get my shop built I...

Doug, I have been considering the very same one. As I mentioned in another thread "eventually" when I get my shop built I will invest in a real nice big cyclone DC system but until then I am also...

What small DC systems are some of you running. Right now the closest thing I have for a DC system is a Sears Shop Vac which I do not want to sit there for hours running while I am carving, it would...

That's good that you got it hammered out. I have/had a desktop that I was using for my Graphics machine which for some dumb reason eat up CMOS batteries so I had to replace it about once a year or...

I am thinking of buying a scanning probe and have been looking at Dealmonger since they have a pretty decent price, I just want to make "sure" that I can register the pattern editor if I buy this...

I also ordered one too, I haven't done much carving in several months but I have a project I want to build that I am wanting to do some Asian style patterns and carvings onto so that has prompted me...

Basically and STL file format is a mapping of the whole surface of a 3D model with Triangles. Like if you had a model of a cup in your favorite CAD program and exported an STL file from it. If you...

Cool, I will try the software then, I am an RP Engineer and deal with STL files everyday so I can create what ever shape I want. Though the Go3D sites have some decent contour ones to play with too....

I might be a little dense (well maybe a lot) but I couldn't find any mention of support for STL on the "Image Analyzer" site. Am I missing it?

An STL file is basically a triangulated mapping of a an object. If you created a 3D model in a CAD program that can export out an STL file there are generally an option for type of resolution. The...

Mine will not slide up unless I rotate the whole chuck around a bit then it snaps right up. It's like it has a sweet spot that you have to hit before it will slide up and release the bit holder. ...

I just replaced my Z-motor and encoder and now this actually happened to me on one test. Ran another test on another piece of wood and it didn't seem to do it but still a bit disconcerting just the...

I know that almost every post (or every other) has questions and answers of what type of wood was used in a project. I was wondering if a Sticky couldn't be provided with either a chart of materials...

Mine is doing the plunge thing now too. I can't even carve anything and it immediatly plunges through the board while doing the first cutting :x , it also cut down on the thumb release. I emailed...

I ordered mine last week from Sears, they said it would come in the 17th but as it got closer and reading some of the replies here I was getting real skeptical about it actually being in yesterday. ...
