“Now my work focus is around CNC and the cycle-start life. The first pass is always the most nerve wracking. Where's that damn spindle going WTF!

That’s the best perspective of CNC I’ve ever seen, puts it into perspective for those of us on the edge, guess if saving my marriage and money were not options I’d jump in and add one to my collection of every shop tool known to modern man. I still prefer time on the Powermatic 4224 lathe, hand planes, carving chisels, and hand cut dovetails; but then again that’s why I have 2 day jobs to pay the bills.

Can I cut a round shape and use cutter comp to remove an extra .0005" off the part to make up for cutter wear or machine changes? -Tim PS, I sure would like to see my Evolution in person as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: curt george <mailto:curtgeo...@wowway.com> To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 4:57 PM Subject: Re: New Members and Moderation Bill did you try the You-tube site. http://www.youtube.com/user/legacywoodworking/videos?sort=dd <http://www.youtube.com/user/legacywoodworking/videos?sort=dd&view=0&shelf_id=1> &view=0&shelf_id=1 As a side note, the EVO video is now one year old I wonder if pat 2 will ever be made? I would like to see more about this machine. Back to the topic. Bill what I've seen on the CNC videos, they are pretty dry. (Boring!) The works are awesome, the quality is top notch, but the videos sure aren't the New Yankee workshop. ;-p C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
