Hi Edd, Good idea - hadn't though about doing take-off measurements on the drawing. I'll round up and add 20% and it should be plenty. I already talked with the diver and he remembers it being easy.
I appreciate all the help in avoiding a headache (the woes you mentioned). I'm sure there are others are on the horizon, I'll avoid this one if I can. -- Tim Rutherford tim.rutherford.m...@gmail.com 813 748 4888 cel/text On Wed, Jun 13, 2018 at 11:46 AM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Tim, > > Yes — Your board setup is very different than the 34+ or 37+ series.
