Hi all,

We have a 4 X 8 foot machine on order and are selling the CW (Compucarve). It has 42 hrs on it and is currently returning from CW in Texas for an X axis stall. The Z truck and chuck were...

Thanks DrBob. I now at least know where to begin looking !

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I last posted. I just received my machine back from Texas. It was sent in for a varirty of problems, one of which was an X axis stall. Tried out the machine and...

Is the frequency 50 or 60 Hz. (cycles per second)?

Thanks for the Sling Shot tip Al. I spent 20 minutes on a stuck bit yesterday. I always lightly oil the adapter and chuck when I chuck it up, but it didn't help yesterday. Finally had to spray some...

I ran into this quite a while ago and the cause was the cutting bit became lose in the holder which allowed the bit to move up and down within the confines of the "flat" on the bit. Only showed up on...

Thanks to everyone for the help. I know the 3:27 was accurate because the my CC went down 3 hrs into the carve with a cut motor error in May. (CC took a vacation to Texas to get repaired). GREMLINS...

Thanks Joe. I appreciate your checking it out. All I can figure is the original was uploaded a while back with an older version of software (1.15)

Here's a new one. The estimated carve times about 1/2 of what they used to be!
I always label my uploaded projects to include carve times. A few months ago I uploaded the kissing cherub ptn (9" x...

I recall seeing in one of my woodworking magazines a year or so ago that there is a solution you can soak the green log end blanks in before letting them dry that will stop the checking. I'm sure...

Here is what I would recommend. Make 2 ptns.

ptn1; 0.25 thick veneer plywood stuck to a sacrificial .25 plywood to get minimum 1/2" thickness. Place top piece venner side down to reduce tear-out....

I was referring to the white (light) areas of the photo. Thanks to everyone for the replies.

I originally posted this as a reply to a thread in Gallery. I since tried it out and it worked. I did add a small registration carve to the upper left hand corner just to make sure carve was going to...

This may be old news, but I THINK I have a way to restart an aborted project without having to "air carve". Jeff Britt got me to thinking in a recent post about carve regions. Be sure you save the...

Thanks Lin, will do.

I've read every post I can find on carving corian photos and can't seem to find a consensus regarding depth and height. Ive found everything from leaving .002 - .003 for the white areas up to leaving...

See "How do I do a cut path (Software section) post 3, choice 3. I've attached a jpeg of an inside round. In your case case, just select the hole and then select on of the roundover bits.

When I started the reply I did not see your post. Was my first time uploading a pic from designer and it took me a while. Saw your post when I posted.

Bob is right. Glue ups are the best. A single board will be very prone to warping!

The only way I know to accomplish what you're after is to draw 4 trapizoids (1 for each side) so that the intersection of each trapizoid actuslly forms what amounts to a corner miter. Then you can...

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but I believe you will get the results you want by putting 2 identical patterns at right angles to each other to form the corner. The resuting corner...

Here's 3 options. Option 1 and 2 require more equipment than the CC. Option 3 is all CC.

1. Prefered method - use cut function, put piece on router table and route perimeter.
2. 2nd choice - use...

Hi Guys!
Just a note for future reference from an electrician and EE. Normal practice is to switch the hot (Black) leg, not the neutral. This is for safety. It will work either way, but by switching...
