I always think I have enough then realize the next step in my various projects would be much easier if had a bit that I don't have, so I would have to write in "not enough"

I only have around 18 but I've just added the two MLCS candlestick bits for the table legs I make. Thanks for the tip Bj.

I don't actually have them as my personal possession, but I have access to over 900 different bits.

Hi Charles

I would think you have tons of them at home for your personal possessions like most who work for companys they get a real deal on items that the company makes and sales

But then some companys do take a hard look at someone that as many as they do at home ,may have a litttle thing on the side going ,,,,at one time I worked for a fastner supply company and I had tons of fastners at home and the boss said one day what are doing Bob saling bolts and nuts from home and I said no,,,he stopped by one night and I was working in the shop and he took a look around and said I guess you do use all you buy, we are going to give you a jobber disc.Bob and I said that's great, but I got most of my bolts and nuts off the floor, at the end of the day we all had to pick up a broom and clean the warehouse floor and I was the only one that put junk off the floor in a box and took it home, about 5 to 8lbs of bolts and nuts every day just off the floor, they said it would take some one more time to go back and find them in the warehouse and put them back in the right box,,,,, and I said OK that's great for me..

Just as a side note,,, after about a year or so they put a stop to it and put them on the front counter for sale,, dam warehouse mrg.always trying to get points with the boss

By the way did you send your CW machine back yet ???, and can you post a snapshot of what you have made so far and maybe a shot of your 12 pack spacer .025" LOL LOL LOL

One more Note**** I was also getting the same error about "check cutting motor" over and over, after the machine had only run for about 15mins. but I did fix that error message by taking the drive cable out and using some Moly lub and the Vac. sealer bag to make the lub go inside the cable and that took care of that error ,now it will run for hours with out the cable getting hot to the touch... without any more errors called by the micro chip.
One more small note,,,,You need to check the cable at the router motor some of the lub will come out, so you need to wipe it off b/4 it drops on the wood below,,,
The computer chip on the machine will see the cablle getting hot and will power down until it cools down.

Have a good day Charles

Bj

Bj,

I have enough bits at home to impress visitors but not nearly as many as you might think. Since I don't end up with a lot of time for personal woodworking I tend to just borrow what I need.

LOML is painting up a couple of carving projects now so I'll try to remember to snap some pics this weekend. Thanks for the tips on the flexshaft. I have not yet returned the machine so I'll look into that. Still having the Close Cover errors more often than anything.

HI Charles

You'er Welcome

One more small note,, I got some more craving bits and the new ones are SHORT and that takes care of the other errors I would see from time to time, plus they cut just a bit better than the long ones, I order two more on Thur. ,I order two more because they work so well and they are always out of stock of that bit.

I know we're way off topic here (sorry OP) but where did you find the shorter bits? Freud has not yet developed one so I am forced to buy them like everyone else.
