I got mine at Lowes and they were marked in MM's

Just being too busy with a store display. But on the other hand, I tried it again yesterday and it was perfect all the way so I'll probably be able to do my own. Henry could you help me put it together at least?? Oh please please please. Did you find everything at homedepot??

I offerd but ,, she never got back to me , and now I have to many orders , don't have time now

Question on a 2 sided carve , how would you set it for the carrier to stay at same place so to turn the board around ??

That is a feature of the advanced carrier base I am working on. The rails have to be flipped so the sandpaper is down and you need the side clamping. One puts shims under the board to get the 1/8" for the measure and then slides the shims out and lowers the board just below the sides. That way the board can be slid in and out without lifting the head.

But, as I said, I am working on it.

Just playing with the ACB. Being able to make double sided parts accurately is probability the most important thing I want the CW to be able to do. Here are two double sided carves which also fit together. Even the blocks of MDF they are made of line up. The carrier in the carrier base was measured only once and then all the four carves were made without any remeasuring. I would slide the carrier in and out while flipping the piece in it. Each side was a separate project.

Making prototypes seems to me to be a use of the machine which should be more popular. I love it.

(There is no way anyone would guess what this is going to be!) First try on the table, second on the carrier. After a few more MDF carves, and I will carve it out of cast acyclic.
