You probably know this already, but you can use a PEG solution to keep it from cracking / splitting.
Of course you would need to plan ahead.

I have a fair amount of walnut and don't let folks pick and choose. They just leave with a lousy foot of wood and i am stuck stacking
the 1000 board feet or they want the curly gun stock blanks for nothing....been there, done that, no more.....nothing personal my friend
but i know where your coming from.

Nice work...post more

BTW, you can ge the curly maple feathers effect by wrapping / laying waxed dental floss and igniting it on the wood. Poor mans way to turn that maple into a muzzle loader stock which is deceptive relative to the wood used.

if I have insulted your expertise

- NOT TAKEN THAT WAY IN ANY MANNER.....the saying is what i keep in mind for myself 

still was lost on a few things

- just ask as, i have replied to every LC post ( i believe ) in the last year or so, but....I know little about plasma and don't have that kind of equipment , that's why there is nothing in the manual about it, .........ya wouldn't want the blind leading the blind?
Now if you want to give the quirks of plasma as compared to say a milling machine, then maybe something can be done to add to the manual.

You reply to any question you wish and share whatever knowledge you have,  at any time and to whatever extent you can to help
another. That's what this forum is about.

BTW,.....I like Hoods saying "EVERY DAY IS A SCHOOL DAY"

There are no shortcuts to any of the software out there, yes you can hack your way through them or just take the time
to read. The problem is that a newbie just wants instant gratification and then reallizes that preconcieved notions on how something
works is not true. You can't grasp 120 pages in one sitting. You need to do the tutorials as each one builds on the previous. 
Just takes time and some practice.

Verbage / vernacular is a killer and ya just need to learn and relate.
My famous saying to myself...........Never know how stupid I am is until I venture into the expertise of another!

Mach3 under Vista / Re: No Driver Sensed Installed. OS-Windows 7

Jeff,
Thanks for confirming W7  64 bit doesn't work.
A friend upgraded to W7 and 64 bit home version and has problems with other software also......
I believe the pro version also allows you to run in other modes like XP.....never ends does it!

What bit W7 are are you using as "not sure" if it will work with 64 bit .....?

Look at your devices in the device manager and you should see one for MACH, when you do the driver test it installs the driver.
So you could just remove the one shown in the device manager and run the driver test and it will be installed.
Note i am not using W7, so could be wrong......

I was going to say try assigned use of the program to XP mode , but i don't think you can do that with the home version.
Just out of curiousity, is it a 32 ro 64 bit version of W7?

That's what happens when you want to be on the  cutting edge of technology sse4!
