This is a very old thread but there is some news. I saw a video on the Trotec Web Site recently about new software that Trotec has that works over a network with a Mac or Windows computer. If your...

The advantage that a workshop has over normal living space is that a shop is full of steel machines, big toolboxes and a large concrete floor. These hold the heat and dampen the effect of exhausting...

The decision has been made to create the new forum.

My shop is 24 by 36 feet with a 9 foot ceiling with three garage doors and one personnel door well insulated walls and ceiling. The garage doors leak typical of what you would expect.
Shop size is...

Texas is very proud of the fact that their electrical grid is not connected to the national grid. There are very good reasons to operate outside of the main grid, think about the power outage that...

There is another video that shows a fire that started by a shop vac that was being used with a CNC Router. The shop vac was under the table so the fire spread to the spoil board and the router was...

No Bags, No Filters, No Hassle.
I have been exhausting chips and dust outside since the early 1980's.
Performance increase is excellent even with a very old 600 CFM collector.

I don't think that anyone has ever asked about a forum for professional woodworkers but we will consider it internally.

Marketing is the key to success in any business IMO. It also helps to have a...

My only recreational hobby is trail riding in the mountains of West Virginia these days. I have been riding for five years, 2021 will by my sixth year.
I was able to re-unite with an old friend that...

Tim, it isn't economically feasible for us to provide enough hard drive space or bandwidth to store videos here. Most people put their video on YouTube and link to them here, YouTube has deep pockets...

Charles, we already have someone registered with the name Charles Murray.

Congratulations Dan, hope your table was not damaged in shipping. I am sure enjoying mine these days, I have it full of PVC letters today painting them for a couple large signs. Tomorrow I will have...

A good spindle will cost you close to 2/3s of your budget and ultimately will be expensive to repair. Ceramic bearings are not something you replace in your shop, best done in a clean room by an...

When the big winds blow down at the Outer Banks signs get sand blasted. Sign makers in that area do a healthy business when the hurricanes and Nor-easters leave the area.

Sorry to hear that especially since the posters seem to be getting pretty rare. My poster is more of a sentimental keepsake because it was given to me by a close friend. I am not a hand tool guy by...

Bob, I'm glad you like the laser. Mine has been a great tool in my shop for many years and I have long forgotten about the price. It has been so handy I doubt I could run my CNC Router without it.
