Looks like you got some great advice from the Vectric forum members here. It is good to see some of your work posted here also.
Hey Wes,

I sent you an email and never got a reply buddy.

U know what? On this thread the help was awesome. It's like somebody pressed the Easy Button on me. I am stoked because I can do now everything that I need to do, I hope :mrgreen:

Just gorgeous - 8)

Hey Dave,

I will try to get a few pictures uploaded tomorrow so you can see my setup. Do you build guitars?

Thank you, and yes, I've dabbled in it a bit (just for things myself manually, no CNC) but I do make guitars parts quite often.

Hey Dave,

Per your request here are some pics of my machinery and my shop. Wes, things changed quite a bit right?

The 2 tapering machines are from Unique Products and look at the dust collection boxes :D
Also have the Shopbot Desktop, a Jet 1340 Metal Lathe, Jet DrumSander (picked it brand new for $95.00, a CL find :) ), also a Wood lathe I use for finish and sanding, a 150 years old book press to press glued veneers, a Delta dust collector and a Grizzly bandsaw.
