Re: Edge for Simulated Stone Tablets

I am challenged artistically or I would have done that. The tools are available, but I am not competent to use them to the end I desire. Michelangelo was asked how he created the statue of David. He said that it was easy -- get a big stone and remove anything that didn't look like David. With my art...

Edge for Simulated Stone Tablets

I am profoundly challenged artistically or I could do it myself. I can't find a discussion of this searching either, so I am pleading for help. I want to make some simulated stone tablets for the 10 Commandments and the like. I have used spray paint to give the stone appearance, but the edges should...

Re: Toolpath tiling?

I used an index mark on the spoil board for the leading edge of the first tile. After the first tile was finished, moved the piece through. I aligned the index mark with the beginning of the second tile. There may be a better way, but this worked for me.

Re: Coping Crown Molding

I never thought about putting the molding face down -- I was thinking of building a ramp. Your idea is much better! Making the copes on the CNC, and then using a scarf joint to get the required length should make this possible for a homeowner (me). I am thinking of taking a photo to get the outline ...

Coping Crown Molding

I have been putting on installing crown molding in the master bedroom for some time because I need to cope several corners. I don't want to fiddle with a coping saw or an angle grinder or a Dremel tool. I would think that this could be done on my CNC. Has anyone done this? I searched but could find ...

Re: Clamping a piece of burl wood

I recall reading of a universal gripper some years ago. After some dead ends, I finally constructed the proper search terms and found this. Called the universal gripper, instead of being designed to pick up a particular object the device conforms to the object it is grabbing. The gripper, which is a...

Re: trouble with the tutorials

Amen to all of the above. Becky is incredibly talented and has so much to share. Unlike Martin, I hear with a pronounced American accent. This is in addition to the above mentioned auditory problems. I would greatly appreciate any ameliorative actions Vectric is able to accomplish.

Re: Laser

I was told that a module is to be released, likely this spring, that will enable lasers specifically with JTech and probably others. I was told the price would likely be about $50.00. For what it's worth.
