Hey Harry, this is Canada our small bugs are as big as small birds Our aerosol comes with a ball bat, for the pesty ones.

I appreciate the help, but we have "man size bugs"

Hi Guys,

Great looking job John,

When talking about bugs, I was once told the bugs in northwest BC were big. I didn't realize how big and SMART they were until I saw a bull moose being carried off by a flock of northwest BC mosquitoes....a bit scary really.

Ed......:-)

Scott and I had a great weekend,,,, NO we did not cut anything yet. We got everything in and now a little more reading.

We have adjusted the guide boxes and have all but the z axis limits in place. The router speed control has been mounted. We have the relay ordered so to be able to turn on and off the router with the computer.

We are looking into the interface to control router speed with the computer as well. Mach3 has all these features built into it. Gotttta love technology,,,

We did run a small program and let it go with no bit, to see how all worked. This is where we found our bearing adjustment had to be adjusted, and with this took out 99% of the minor wobble we had. The rest was taken out by speed adjustments. The axis pipe guides turned out quite well for the hand method we chose to use, when building.

We now have to put all the pieces of knowledge together and cut something out. We will post a video, stay tuned,,,, this has been quite a learning curve! Yes sir!

Next step,,,, cut somethig

Hi John,

You and Scott need to pat yourselves on the back. You've both done a marvelous job. I can't wait to see what your first project will be.
