Bert Why can't you run it in the x axis?

My guess, based on about 12 years using Trotec, is that they have the parts on hand. Even if they don't it's a one day flight and delivery from...

It shouldn't be too much of a drive for you to go to the Trotec US HQ and see the machine first hand.

I would think if I was doing cabinets I'd want to provide Drawings, build materials, number and size of cabinets, finish, hardware and hardware...

It's odd. I read of people's planes rusting and rust spots. Likely because I use only vintage planes, but I live near portland oregon and current...

Eric I agree about the alien blood. I once sprayed it on our stainless steel counters at work and the overspray hit our counter keyboards. It melted...

Interesting Thanks gentlemen

Nellie Welcome to SMC. The info that I have indicates that Trotec uses Iradian tubes in all their co2 lasers. Vytek makes no mention of Iradian...

Aaron Honestly I didn't realize I had posted that. I was writing a longer reply and then thought I deleted it. To my surprise Jim replied to it and...

I'm amazed that some of you, even process wood by hand at your ages.

Charles I read the article. In some sense it almost seems like the cabinet makers were the general contractor, and then they employed sub...

Thanks for reading Stephen

You could always try those 3M velcro wall hanging dealie-ma-bobs. I've used them quite successfully for hanging large heavy mirrors and picture...

Ken Quit singing the praises of the Moravian. I haven't thought about a bench since I built mine 6ish years ago. Now I've been researching...

Everyone thank you for the reply lots of great information. My more intended point though was to ask what takes more skill accurate dimensioning...

Thanks Warren I once had a thread in a similar vain and you had made a comment along the lines of "only take down the high spots" Honestly that has...

I'm regards to the date codes, I would assume tires are much like the rubber hose business. The tires / hoses last much much longer than the mfgs...

Being a diesel truck owner when a set of tires costs 1500 or more, it makes you think twice about that saving 100. I used to buy really cheap...

Hi weogo I'm working on turning 2x6 construction material into a table top. Doing large boards is definitely a challenge. Especially edge jointing.

I second this. For my wife's rig we bought some general walmart special tires. Barely got 25k out of them.

Good to know. I've never ordered from them. Only know about them because I have a 113 saw and looked up upgrades once.

Doesn't matter now. Checked the Facebook listing to message the guy about going to look at it tonight and the listing says sold... I had messaged...
