Don't ask why - lets just say that I should not make any bets after downing a modicum or two of ale.

Looks like a well constructed machine, substantial enough to also operate with a spindle.
I wonder what it's final selling price will be ?.

I remember reading about a similar problem which was traced to a document resident in the print que. If you are not going to use a printer with this computer then uninstalling the printer and it's driver may be helpful.

Hi Derek,

Perhaps a silly question but are you certain that your spindle / cutters are running concentric ?.

The trial version has all the features of the licensed version, it is just limited to the length of GCode that can be run.

Thats brilliant Rich. You have a machine to be proud of.

Just one suggestion though - your dust extractor should really be located outside the work area. The filters in these things may not trap the really fine particles and there is always a risk that you would be inhaling potentially harmful dust from the MDF you cut.

I look forward to seeing some pics of the things that you have made with the machine.

Extremely professional workmanship and attention to detail Duke. The machine and your website are a credit to your skills.
I look forward to seeing pics of some of the things you make with the mill.
