Thank you. I thought your post was very succinct.

That must be why Festool gets about $150 per replacement board. Not a very big board, not all that many holes.

Not in one million years would I have thought that a gcode for a circle would be used rather than pecking with a 20mm tool. Shows the difference between a hobbyist and expert. Do you think Festool...

1. Do you know where I can get such a bushing?
2. By circular interpolation-- do you mean cutting the 20mm hole rather than a straight pecking routine?

Yes, I am going to CNC it.

Thanks. I should've mentioned that my spindle is a Bosch router, uses 1/4" and 1/2" shanks.

I need to make a replacement table (spoilboard) for Festool multifunction table. It's made from 3/4" MDF with 20mm holes. I need some advice on specifically what kind of bit to use and any other...

Don't I count?:-)
I arranged to get off from work to attend the first Mach seminar you put on. I failed to register quick enough and found myself without a ticket. Stayed home hoping to get a call...

It's fun... to try to come up with solutions that improve on existing wisdom. And cost-reduction can be considered an improvement. But you gotta realize that you're competing with all the industrial...

You can put me down as an interested party.

HI I AM IN ROCHESTER NY AND NEED A MENTOR...

I don't want to pull anyone away from this forum. Most of what I learned came from right here. But-- I have been working on a new site and you might...

I hope I've selected the proper forum. On this site American-Made Open Cell Foams & Closed Cell Foams: All-Foam Products Company: Buffalo Grove, IL there is a video (near the end) showing a CNC...

I could tell you because that's one of the things I know how to do. But it would be better for you to go to YouTube. There's a high def vid there showing how one guy did it. The only thing I would...

Not familiar with meshcam but it sounds like you've done the right thing there. I use SheetCam and it gives me a list of "post processors". You used the word "format". May be exactly the same thing....

There's probably no one less qualified to help someone than I am. But that sounds like the kind of problems I've had when I put SheetCam on a different computer and forget to select the Mach post...

I want to make some one piece jigsaw puzzles that are less than perfect fit. It will make it easier to get the pieces to go in. I want to cut the pocket 1/16th bigger than the piece. I could...

I'm about as good as the next guy when it comes to using a drawing program and free-handing an outline and then converting it to gcode. But it's so time consuming. It appears that this company is...

WordPress.com (and I'm sure other blog sponsors) will allow you to have more than one blog. In addition to ProjectCNC.wordpress.com I had another blog but I don't keep it up. I removed all the...

Thanks to everyone for letting me know about the pics. Now I know what happened and I believe people should share what they learn. I built a lot of the blog on an abandoned blog. Then I moved it over...

I can't tell you how upsetting this is to me. On my computer the images are all there. Thanks you so much for letting me know. I'll have to find out what's going on.

Hmm. I have no idea. Maybe it's because I was working on the blog. I hope you'll try again.

Just wanted to invite any interested parties to visit my newly organized blog. I'm posting the plans for my machine. The plans are free. There's nothing for sale there. Hope you'll check it out....

For years now I've relied on a particular double-sided tape for anchoring those products that cannot be clamped or held with a vacuum pod. I've always despised using it because (1) it's $10 for a...

1. Make a 1/4" version.

Already announced a second size on my site. It will be 3/8 x 1/4.

2. Make a version for 3/4" that has a lip on each end and on one side. The side lip will be useful...

Thanks my friend. And I did get the price down. They're $19.95 for a five-pack and ship in a USPS flat-rate box for only $4.95. I have a dedicated site at www.PinchBlox.com

I thank you and Dertsap for your comments. I have a dedicated site now. Probably does have some puffery though.

I don't know why you mean. Missing pages? My link below should take you to the home page. Then, there's a list of other pages on the right of that page. It's kinda crapped up right now because I've...

can you explain how you lower and raise your z axis? No. I'm the only one who knows. Kidding. There's a rack bolted to the back of the router bracket. A stepper motor inside the plexi case moves it...

This is just a short non-narrated video showing my CNC doing a dry run on a small piece of MDF being held down by my PinchBlox. Helps to illustrate how easy it is for the CNC to do a job without...

This is a short vid of my CNC. I just wanted to see if my new camera would make a pretty good video and if the format would upload. Thanks for watching.

Sorry. The other one I put up had a problem so I had to take it down. This is an animated video about a hold-down clamp I'm making and selling. Thanks for watching.
