Dave, can you tell me where you got the flexible brush for the dust shoe?

Hi Gerry,

It's from Mcmaster: 74405T304 Galvanized Steel-Backed Nylon Conveyor Strip Brush, 1/8" W X 1/8" H Backing, 2" H X 4' L Each $17.16

Thanks all, I appreciate the comments.

As for the axis setup, aren't jobs supposed to come out backwards/mirrored?    Yep, ya got me, I actually screwed up when setting up Mach 3 as I'm used to a mill and got my directions reversed. I suppose I should fix them soon so I don't get used to it being backwards.

"Ya Nvr No" Those were drawn up in V Carve Pro.

Thanks,
Dave

Ok, can't believe it's been since last November, man how time flies!!!!!

Got a few pics to show, but nothing earth shattering, lol! Just a few of the X axis brushes, magnetic dust boot, home switches (X axis is  adjustable along the T slot extrusion) , relay outlets, axis labels (cheezy, I know but what the hell   ), and some new clamps (how exciting!!!). Even a cover for her as well  

I've actually run a few projects too (you saw the Project Search sign), including a magnetic dust boot and 3C collet holder for my 9" South Bend, so now the collets will all stay nice and clean. Router seems to be very accurate, and I'm VERY pleased to say the least. I owe it all to the fine folks here and the other forums I belong to for helping me learn my way through this addicting hobby.

Still have to come up with a dust cyclone and a bracket/slide for a vac hose setup. Also wish I could weld so I could weld up a nice solid bench as well.

Thanks again for looking-
Dave

Hi Tom,

I have no idea if Mach can do this, but I'm just curious looking at the video, isn't there actually 3 cutters?

One to turn the blank to a given diameter, then the rough and then the finish knives?

Hi John,

Even though you look like you're finished with your relay box, this is a nice writeup that adds some nice features.
