Hi Mac and Brandon, This is one of those topics that can lead to armchair quarterback moments of us telling them how to run their business. It's a topic I like to avoid. As far as the cart being broken, it's been "Temporary Unavailable" for longer than I can remember. To order anything from

I remember having the same issue ~9 months ago.Tim,Would you please add this to the list of "issues" that we would like Andy & Company to address during the on-line seminar.  Although, I suggest it be towards the bottom of the list.  In fact if you send it in ahead of time, they may "fix the proble

Hello All, I think the best bet on the .5x reduction gear is for me to install the gear on your standard duplex gear. That way I know the gear works before you ever install it on your machine. The gear will fit in a well padded medium rate USPS flat rate box. The cost is not final, but I wo

Mac- Yes, you are correct. That should have read "deeper". Thanks for the correction. Tim- There's something out of whack for sure. I haven't pin pointed it, but I believe there is a potential major issue with my head stock. Sunday I worked on cutting the female dovetails on the top of the spin

I would look into why your machine is not moving smoothly. Got DynaGlide? If the guides are too tight in the first place, no amount of lube or adjusting will fix them. Constantly check for dust build up in the rails. This will cause binding. -Tim -- You received this message because you a
