Introduce Yourself

Take the time to learn the machine, spend time in the forum and you will save yourself alot of time and money.

That's my hope!

Excellent resource. I had checked out the site, but never seen that part. I wonder - has anyone assembled a similar, logically laid out list of things over and above the manufacturer's recommendations? The sorts of things that people who've learned the ropes look back on and wish they had done differently at the outset? I see a lot of good info scattered throughout the forums, but I have yet to find a master list of essentials (like adding dust collection, for example.)

Well, excellent. It had looked like a sea of "RTFM" posts, until I read the whole thread. Good info. Thanks!

Well, that's what was supposed to be a positive thing... gone bad. Especially, if RTFM means what I think it does.

It does.

I just realized that the reason I missed the good bits is that the forum defaults to showing newest posts first, rather than last. This is the opposite of nearly every other forum I've ever joined. I changed my settings, and will now be seeing the beginnings of threads right from the get-go. Life is good.

Hi.

My name is Jim and I'm a carvaholic....

I'm the tech manager for a medium sized cabinet shop in my day job. I support our Cabinet Vision design software, as well as maintain and repair PCs and shop machines- including our 5x10 KOMO CNC router. I'm the sole user of AlphaCAM and ArtCAM. Unfortunately I don't get the chance to play with ArtCAM and the KOMO often enough, so I bought a used Carvewright model B yesterday, and I'm waiting for it to be shipped. When it comes in I plan to install the upgrade belts, and purchase either a Rock Chuck or the CarveTight spindle.

Looking forward to making sawdust with this machine.

Any advice is quite welcome!

Jim,

Welcome to the CW forum! Hoping your machine makes it's trip safely so you get off to a great start.

Take the time to read up here and also on the support section on the main CW site.

Looking forward to you sharing your cnc background and projects!!
