thats the idea to get the parts out quickly.

Right now it takes under 3 days to mill this guitar with 2 CW's. on a Hass it would be under a day I guess.




Thanks

My 21 year old nephew has a band. I think I'll make him a new cutom one. He picks a strat now. I put mine down years ago but I still have my Martin 12 string and my Guild 6 string. Sold my piano though...

i recently downloaded and now a 1/8 cut is cut in one pass causing a lot of vibration is this the new norm and is this going to damage my cut motor my machine goes out of warranty next month

Excellent Work !!!!


I think everyone knows this but I found Card #4 in Machine #3 yesterday and when I went to load a project it asked to update the card from 1.126 to 1.130 and I thought... Just say No.... Then I called Chris and asked if it would work using the 1.126 card and 1.130 Designer... He said "Yes" and give it a try.... I did, a square Cut path and like others have posted but it worked multi pass cutting.... I tucked that card away for the moment.... Interesting.....

ok i did a search now how do i get the firmware back on my card i do not like it cutting in one path i have not had any fires but i am afraid my machine will over heat

Can you give use some details like..

How deep is the cut, what woods are you cutting?

have you cleaned and lubed your flexshaft lately?..

are you bits in good shape?

cut depth is .125 i clean the bits and i did lube the shaft i touch the shaft and it is slightly warm my question now is i want to go back to multi pas cutting how do i do that at this time i am using red oak but i have a very large supply of douglas fir

[dragoncarver]

wow i just noticed that you make violins. i am a celloist my son plays left handed strat not as well as jimmie ( i hear dead musicians on the radio )

[liquidguitars]

thanks I have a lefty PRS i am building soon.. and would love to build a cello 2.

cut depth is .125

Thats odd.. 1.126 will cut .125 " in one pass anyway.

One way , is to keep 1.130 software installed and use the 1.126 firmware on the memory card only when needed.

i would be happy to give you any measurements from my cello if you need them/ the bit does cut but the flex shaft shacks quite a bit it does not get hot still how do i get the old version back on my memory card
