You don't need a ball nose bit or a chamfer bit if your software has a fluting toolpath. I make chamfers on bolt holes using the same end mill I use to drill the holes....

The vertical gantry plates are 1/2" thick, as are the Y axis end plates. I see no sideways flex on my Meteor at all. No flex at the router mount either. On the Nebula we have where I work I can...
I own one of their Meteors (25" x 49" cutting area) and after using it for awhile went ahead and convinced my college department head to get one for our furniture design shop. That after have a CNC...

Thanks, Jim. I went ahead and bought Cut3D, and found a tool add-on for Sketch-Up (Free) that will export SKP to 3D DXF files that Cut3D can import. I'm going to run a few tests with it all today....
I bought the Pro. So far fairly impressed, but looking for something that'll let me carve a chair seat with it. The included Vcarve V5 software is 2.5d.
I've had my Shark Pro for about three days now. Only two problems. My Colt router body doesn't tighten in the mount. I can rotate it by hand or when changing bits with it in place. I also notice...
