  1. 1. I know this is a personal preference thing but I do not care for their chosen aesthetic. 

    2. Straight to cloud 7... What the?  I think they meant cloud 9 but it still would be a bizarre statement to make about a headphone. The internets do have some references to cloud 7 but whatever.

    3. I'm really hoping Justin didn't write this ad copy. :kitty:

    Yesterday morning first day mowing on the golf course.  40F to start.  39F four hours later when I finished. 

    If that continues, two words, Heated Clothing.

    While I'm generally with Steve and prefer heat to cold there is something truly awful about sitting and getting colder by the minute.

  3. I think you'll figure it out, but there's definitely a learning curve.  It was one of the reasons that I went with the Carbide3D product, so that there was the option of idiot-friendly software but not so locked in that if I somehow get more advanced you can run whatever you want. Figuring out the CAD/CAM interface does take a little time but I see that they've got their +VCarve software so maybe that's relatively user friendly?  Start small, work your way up, I'm sure you'll do fine.

    The water cooled spindle will help, but it is had to get at the moment as they have been upgraded and everyone is buying them up. I could skip the new 3HP and get the older 2 HP, which is probably more than enough for me. 

    Still trying to figure out dust. I have that dust extractor right next to it that I thought might work if it suspend it from the ceiling and step down to the dust shroud 2 1/4 size. 

    The extractor will certainly work, us poor people just use a shop vac which is plenty.  The first hurdle is just having a mount for the hose attached to the spindle.  Looks like you'll get a free dust boot when you get it all registered which should be perfect and the touch plate is a game changer too.  

    And if you can get an upgraded proper spindle life will be a lot more pleasant.  I'm isolated enough in the house that running open frame with the banshee router isn't impossible but I'd really like to get it enclosed and toned down a bit so that night time operation might be an option.  

  5. Not sure if you're already planning on chip extraction/suction but I'd highly recommend it. Also, if you can build an enclosure to help attenuate noise you'll be happier for it. I haven't managed an enclosure yet but the router is loud AF and I'm pretty sure we're running the same model. It's one thing to live with it for a few minutes during traditional router operation, it's another thing entirely to run it like that for hours straight.

    Had outer stitches removed from my neck today due a hole made recently extracting a growth. Not sure if it was ever really in doubt, but was tested and a simple epidermal inclusion cyst, thus benign. One of those I never felt in danger, but still felt strangely giddy when the expected test results came back. 

    Excellent news.
