Hi All! This is Twombo I have been fiddling about with CAD SINCE 86 or so, windows 2.03 or so, ACAD 2.6 Oh boy! More recently, 2000s I have used rhino3dmostly. 6 yrs ago, I had a bad brain hemmorhage! That set me back a lot! In recovery, I am back in the workshop and now doing some...

Then, there is the “walking”. end mill cutter. afterm a hard session, finding the cut, far too deep. o into the table. Collet insufficiently tightened on the cutter, and the cutter “grew” in length! In my tyro days, the Jacobs chuck loosened, or the mt3 without a drawbar led to...

Kelly. Just a few thoughts. The imaging scales are priced well and I have had good service the last few years. I would highly recommend looking into Touch Dro as a way to achieve full DRO functionality at a reasonable cost. I built the MSP430 based unit and use a Samsung Tab 2 7”...

Don't know that I have any advice but It's a heck of a concept I don't really see why you couldn't scale up the 2 1/2" Marie Estelle. I like Porters!! You are familiar with Ollie Johnson, right. How big are the wheels? The Maxi Lucky 7 was 3 3/4" scale... really not so much...
