    99.999% done

    1st, thanks to all for advice found here. There are a few picks I've included of the finished machine. The table has T track on 4" centers for hold downs almost anywhere. The speed problem was corrected with dampers I bought from MicroKinetics. Yeah they cost a lbit but my speed got maxed out at 52 ipm due to CPU speed. They ironed the problem right out. I also changed the 1/4" fule line connectors to 1/4" to 5/16" solid connectors from dumpstercnc.
    The gear pictured is an escapement gear for a clock. I'll post a video on youtube as soon as I can.

    Well done, and nice escapement. What kind of motors are you using? And the router?

    425 oz. xylotex, cheap $16 router from Harbor Freight. Got a variable speed Rigid laminate trimmer to replace this one when it dies. Check out the video on youtube.
