Title: First Part
Post by: ger21 on August 23, 2009, 02:07:27 PM

Just got my router running after 6 years of on and off work ???. Anyway, it seems to suffer from resonance, so the first thing I need is a stepper damper.

Did a dry run before cutting, since I've never cut anything before, then cut one out of scrap ply, then the finished part from Baltic Birch. Came out perfect, and I didn't even do any test cutting or measuring or anything.

Nice job Gerry,

6 years ? And I thought  Hood was slow.  ;D
I know how it goes, I've got unfinished projects I started 20 years ago. The cash jobs always come first.

Very cool, Gerry, good to see you got her finally moving!

Can you share some pics with us of the whole thing?

Thanks and have fun-

It tends to get buried when you only update it every couple of years. :)
