Try it with your shop vac to see the results. Maybe it is better than I remember.
I might give it a try.
Cutting boards is done. Not perfect but getting closer on doing good inlays.

Good to know since I was considering trying some sort of over the blade method, stetting with the already included blade guard. Guess I’ll just deal with it for now.

Take 2. I don’t do cutting boards unless they are a gag gift.

If I end up having to go jigsaw, I will go to Home Depot and buy an upgrade anyway.
They sell upgraded Festool jigsaws?

Jigsaw?

Don’t put to much clamping pressure on end grain boards when glueing inlays.

Fuck Putin! 2x8 is pretty substantial stock, tho...
Sounds like a job for Steve.

Picked this up recently and it’s really good. I have a few (dozen) rums. Always looking to expand.

I'm chuckling. My coffee doesn't come close to my rum...

Do tell?

Maybe I’m not coffee snob enough, but I found Onyx to be good but nothing amazing. It’s readily available here since it’s almost local and a handful of places have it as their daily drip.
I’ve actually never found any coffee to be good on the same level as a good beer/whiskey is. Maybe I just need to spike it more often 😂

I'm not. Just curious if anyone else is.
Visited Head-Fi for the first time in 10 years. What a train wreck.

The new Timberlines look like money. Induction side burners and modular everything. The XL is the biggest and most expensive grill they make -- and therefore the one you should buy.
That Treager does look pretty nice, I like the addition of the induction for searing.

What's the current wisdom on pellet smokers? My wife wants to get one for the summer (seriously). Is a giant Traeger still the way to go? I love my KBQ, but it takes a lot of monitoring, specific log sizes, etc. Any suggestions would be briefly reviewed before pulling the trigger—I rely upon the kindness of friends.
More detail—she picked out the 780. Seems like plenty of capacity, but should we spring for a Timberline?
Stretch has a Memphis which I’ve been eying for a while. He probably can give some feedback on it. It’s more of a Head-Case smoker than a Treager, though there is nothing wrong with the current Treagers. Also check out Blaz’N Grills and RecTeq (though they might have sold out to corporate).
As for the size, unless you plan on cooking for large gatherings the 780 size will be just fine. I did four briskets at once on Al’s larger Treager for Mayberry but other than that I’ve never needed one that size.

^^^ You, my friend, are bananas. And it is awesome.
Naaman, you are also bananas for buying a 700+HP truck and thinking it needs more.
If I had access to that much HP I think I'd be featured in a different thread here.
Also, who knew that the forum software had embedable stock GIFs? Huh. Learned something new today.
Always need moar power, though I’m not sure how far I’m going to go since it is my daily driver. First thing I need to sort out is the garbage HK stereo that came with it.
Sadly I dropped it off at the dealer this morning because they forgot to seal up the firewall somewhere. Terrible wind noise coming from under the dash. Dropped it off at 0730 and they have yet to look at it 😡. Glad I waited two weeks for an “appointment”.

Turbos are amazing. Very efficient but a level of complexity a good bit above a blower.
Is he compound boosting or is the blower coming out?
HS
Planning on options for both, with the compound being offered initially. Rippa currently has a twin turbo option that puts down about 1000whp. but they are mounted really low.

That’s going to be a self serve thing IMO. I don’t see Stellantis offering a lot more power on such a heavy vehicle although it’s not out of the realm of possibilities.
My suggestion is an upper pulley swap supported by a “cracked” and tuned PCM and bigger injectors…poof a good bit more power. Warranty on motor and possibly trans voided, but such is the price of vroom vroom…
HS
Satera is working on a single 80mm turbo set up that should do 900whp on E85 and 700whp on 93. Might be a good option.

This one was a strange cut as it was the for the plug of an inlay. In VCarve Desktop I cannot see any way to change the depth in the VCarve function by adding passes so I just went with it. Did the top of the clear out and then went to the middle and was not set to ramp so it plunged and started doing its loops and snapped off. It was an Amana Spectra Coated 1/4” down cut which had a nice clean shear right at the collet mark on the bit. Collet should have been pretty damn tight as I tend to be paranoid about random flying 19000 rpm projectiles.
In better news I finished the carve of the next yard sign with no drama. This one has such interesting grain, I am not sure if a basic brown text resin will even stand out. Going to paint the Texas, as I was not smart enough to come up with a way to carve it that I could fill with three different resins without having a big purple Texas.
What was your feed rate? You could also have a bad collet. Pull it out and inspect it carefully, they can cause a score mark that weakens the carbide. That being said I’ve had those Amana bits just break when running them properly, shouldn’t have an issue having it replaced under warranty if your speed/feed/chip load was within limits. If doing it with ToolsToday it’s a simple process of an email with a picture of the bit and a screen shot from VCarve of how you were running the bit.

What about Sandblast(ed)?
Not a fan of the color, would be nice if they did something else other than cosmetic changes. 702hp is nice but it really needs a couple hundred moar, and that’s what people were hoping for 😢
