    Printable version

    I wasn't so sure where to put this post so if there is a better section please move it. There are some really great threads here that I would like to make a printed copy for a couple of reasons, but when I use "show printable version" from thread tools I don't see any of the pictures; I only...

    Converting Albrie Design drawings to Draftsight (dwg/dxf)

    Hi folks, Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I know there are some Albrie users here. I found a neat project on instrucables.com http://www.instructables.com/id/Giant-Chess/ about making giant chess pieces from the stuff they make the election/campaign signs out of (Coroplast is one name)...

    What type of cutter

    Naming this thread was quite difficult so I apologize if it's misleading. I would like you folks to take a look at these Youtube videos of a CNC foam cutter/plotter and chime in with your opinion on what it's using to cut the foam. I can't tell exactly. To me it looks like something is...

    Magnetic chuck

    I need to machine some small thin pieces and I was thinking that a magnetic chuck would probably be the best solution to hold them. Problem is, I only have a small sherline mill. So does anyone know of one that is the right size for this mill? Or perhaps plans on making one? I'm not exactly sure...

    My Intro

    Hi all, Just like to say hello and say a few words about myself. I'm pushing 40 and live in New York. I have a fairly decent wood shop setup, but I am about to take the plunge into machining by buying a small lathe and mill. I would also like to try some blacksmithing. I think I will try and...
