Put these stock guides on today and cut some 15’ pieces of ash to make stiles and rails for cabinet doors. Worked pretty well, real test will be ripping larger sheets.

I’ve been happy with the Freud Industrial blades I’ve bought.

The baffle is two separate pieces, so it all can be done single sided. I still need to draw up the internal supports, but I do have the dados in the base where they will fit. Did it as a exercise to make something simple in Fusion that I could actually use someday. Who doesn't need more home theater subwoofers?

Ice Ice baby. Way cooler than my box 😂

I think that's somewhere around lesson 224. I'm on 2.

I present to you...a box. But it's fully parametric. Now I need to figure out how to do each component in CAM. Baby steps.

I get that. There are 1001 projects in my mind, how many actually will come out...no idea. Have you checked out the cnccookbook? Going to give it a whirl to see if it helps out or is worth while, 30 day free trial.

Thank you, I’m kind of also coming to the conclusion I need to learn Illistrator or Inkscape for vector creation. Like guitar, wish I would have picked some of these things up years ago.

I’ve already purchase VCarve Pro and have been learning to use it, seems pretty easy for most tasks. There is a post processor for my machine so it all should (hopefully) work well. I’m also working through Fusion and putting my head into the parametric modeling mindset since I know it’s probably the best thing for long term 3D design. So much to learn, so little time.

Send them my way! Edit:just got the call that it ships in the next two days!

Looking good, I'm dying over here waiting for mine to show up. Any day now, any day. What CAD/CAM are you using? I've been peeking at Chinese CO2 lasers on Ebay that work with Lightburn, way easier on the pocket book than comparable Epilog/Trotec machines.

I'm guessing that means you don't have a woodshop?

If you have some nice wood working tools, we would love to see them.

My opinion of the Festool stuff is they are excellent tools, but designed for little European craftsmen named things like Lars, Otto, Klaus, and Gunter. If you have the space large dedicated tools will always be easier to work with. That table/fence look pretty good, I would just verify you can put stops on that t-track. As for the lift Incra stuff is solid. I don't have much use with it but the Saw-stop I have seems pretty bullet proof.

Amazon also sells a couple in the $6 range. Just search 3.5mm TRS. Some of them you have to select to them choose the length.

Any copper wire will work, you just want to make sure it will fit the connector. Microphone cable is the go-to when building them for audio, but is overkill quality wise. FYI you can get premade 1ft cables , they will just be TRS which doesn't really matter.

Giving Hammer a call tomorrow. Looks like there is a 4-5 month wait now, but saving $1k might be worth it.

How much were those? Like very similar to the Minimax and the same size.

This will smash sticks much better. Plus I want someone else to try it before I bite the bullet https://www.elitemetaltools.com/tool-shop/products/minimax-16-combination-jointer-and-planer-fs-41c?sku=FS 41C X

You might as well order this along with a large cyclone extractor. https://byrdtoolexperts.com/shelix-head-for-dewalt-dw735-planer-lander?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=dynamic-search&utm_content=lp-from-standard-groups&gclid=CjwKCAiAz4b_BRBbEiwA5XlVVpc4u6gdRQ-M-Eaqqoj6w9iIqE7V5AwATyFqVlOebRB72OWGf5p3WhoC95gQAvD_BwE

It’s a popular choice 😉

Which one are you getting?

I second the Arm R Seal. I really like the General finishes.

It just sits there. That metal on top will have some motor things to move it around and a spinning thing to make wood, plastic, and aluminum shavings.
