Gravograph and Trotec are pretty much on par as to 'quality'... even so, this is my drag chain wiring now-- and farther forward, the...

On my 140 the bevel is about 28 degrees. I keep one primary bevel angle after some time and lots or stropping i restore the primary bevel. Its the...

1- my 50w machine came with 2.14.9 on a stick, but didn't use it because my other 3 machines were using 2.14.10 . My 'ebay2' machine was setup with 6...

I absolutely agree Steve! I started with no dust collection thinking that if you do woodworking that you just have a lot of sawdust to deal with and...

Never? OK... "Exits" can mean different things as you know.

The "smart money" never exits the market - only the fools do.

Off topic, but do you have any idea of what happened to Johnny?

A lot of products are on a boomerang effect. When everything was in short supply, lots of orders just sat. When product became available, tons of it...

The feather board you see is 12" high, but you can make it any height you want by adding/subtracting rollers. The rollers stay in place for all...
