Is that supposed to be two negatives in one sentence? It certainly doesn't make a positive in my mind. Of course if you have a good mother that can help there may be some hope to turn the two negatives around.

Since I use "unread post" quick link I do not think I miss much. No time restriction there. If I may redirect the 'gripe'; one thing that irks me is lack of feedback when WE(more than one responder) suggest possible causes/solutions and the member requesting assistance falls off the plane...

As I said to you with the other issue you had a while back don't give up hope. You're posts are always welcome, informative and very well thought out. In life we all need to stay positive. Negativism is what is wrong today.

UNANSWERED? example? JPG, Well, I wasn't looking to call anyone out, but I guess I left the door open here when I brought it up. We all get busy, so there is no judgement here on my part, but it does get frustrating when posts get missed. I think sometimes there is just a sudden flurry of activity ...

John, Thanks. Maybe this is the link below? Yeah, I don't know if I will ever get a full CNC one day, but doing vertical work on the end, like joinery, definitely interests me. Since I am not doing production work though, I think the SO with the Workstation may be an easier platform to do specialty...

OK, I guess I glossed over that part. I think he was just demonstrating that one draw back of a dove tail bit. I wouldn't characterize it in general that it is easy to make a mistake with the SO. Like any tool you have to pay attention. The SO has a 1/2" margin of error where it will self corr...

I have issued a warning to the offending user. I've not done this before but I hope it gets his attention and gets over the as dusty says "Expletives (even cleverly disguised expletives) are equally inappropriate and unwanted." Ed Ed: What you have done is appropriate but there are others...

Where did he show that. I guess I missed it. The circle on the screen is 1/2" in diameter. As long as the cut line is any where inside that circle Shaper will adjust and cut exactly where you tell it to. If you wander outside the circle Shaper will instantly retract. :confused: John, It is aro...

You’re going to have to explain it to me like I’m five years old. I’ve never used a lathe before. :( LOTS of videos on YouTube about turning. Yeah. Thanks for all the help. I was asking specifically how to turn this specific object I put in the pics. If you’re not going to be helpful, how about you...

I’m following this with interest. I haven’t yet watched the video, but I can imagine that suddenly retracting a dovetail bit might not be a foolproof strategy. Yes, that is a problem with dovetail and key hole bits. However, you would really have to be not paying attention to have that happen. The ...
