Gadget. Great job!. Looks neat and tidy. Scraping is something I have never done but know the theory. Its hard work. Maybe a little write-up on the scraping and your advice would be welcome. All the best. Anthony. |

I needed a pattern that was 3/8ths thick for the spindle slide. Since I don't have a planer and have no idea where I can get wood in 3/8th in dimension I used my CNC plasma/router table to cut the pattern to the proper thickness. Here is a 3 minute video on the process. "&hl=en_US&fs=1&" |

That's a neat way to make patterns! Dean |

Gaget, Couple of questions, who's table if it's commercial and could you have used styrofoam? I'm thinking of getting a cnc plasma table next year from Torchmate. It's small, 2' X 2'. Anyway nice job. Don't want to get to far offf topic. Bernd |

Bernd --- End quote --- Bernd, I could have used styrofoam but will be casting indoors and the fumes from lost foam are nasty. As for the table, I built this myself. It is convertible from router to plasma cutter and is based on plans from solsylva.com. I use a Longevity ForceCut LP80 plasma cutter when doing that function. I have seen the torchmate 2x2 CNC machines, they are very nice. I didn't spend as much on my table as what the Torchmate tables cost though. Also, the Torchmate 2x2 units come without the plasma cutter I believe. Dan |
