I have a slightly different method, but your method will work just as well. The KEY, is to have a good, sealed, smooth, clean surface, and then press the mask down. Avoiding air bubbles is a bit more tricky. Leo, never used a paint mask before. Would sealing the wood with laquer work? I am assuming...

It says to think safety, not practice safety... So, I think you're good.

Good point. That's what I get for assuming... There should be some sort of saying about assuming, and what it does.

Only the shadow knows for sure. But, Vectric says it'll be out when the Denver User Group Meeting happens on Friday the 11th & Saturday the 12th this October 2019.

I've glued lots of HDU together using Gorilla polyurethane glue and haven't had a failure in 20+ years. What's going wrong with the glue? What's your procedure? Chris I'm using Gorilla wood glue. I proceed just like gluing wood- be sure the HDU is clean, apply glue and clamp. That's probably the is...

That's what my one try at poplar came out like. Since then, there's a poplar ban at my shop

If it were me, I'd use a 1/4" diameter upcut bit and use an inside pocket toolpath with spiral ramping.

Well, you'd think 8/4 would be 2" thick, but it's really 1 15/16"

I'm 99.44% sure Jim McGrew's Aspire Camp for the Vecheads FB page is hacked... Lots of irrelevant stuff being posted. I figured somebody here knows a direct way to let him know.

Me too! So far I've switched from quarts of beer to liters. I get an extra 1.814 ounces of beer, but it looks the same as a quart.

Nice! Less than 2 hours from me... I'm already signed up.

If I had that issue... I'd first turn it over while clamped to see if the gaps are the same, and in the same place on the bottom. I'd also flip the walnut pieces in both axes to see if they fit better. If the gaps are the same top & bottom, and it did no good to flip the walnut pieces in both axes, ...

Usually, when I post a response, it's info that's already known... So why stop now? Haha... What I post below is also posted on one of the Facebook CNC pages. Yep... Mine (Aspire) does that too... I never thought much about it beyond figuring the lines were caused by backlash in my machine. The way ...
