That is nice Oliver. I think it would be nice to have a CNC but learning how to use may be more than my brain can handle plus they do cost a lot.
They do cost a lot, Don, but I know your brain could handle learning how to use it quite well. You always make great stuff and this is just another tool. The difference with this tool is that most of the thinking is done up front on the PC where you plan the look and details. You can even design things in Sketchup and bring them into V Carve to set up the tooling.That is nice Oliver.

I bought them on Amazon, JT. A bag of 100 costs about $18, so they are cheap and easy to use. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Wiseacresart-AX-AY-ABHI-07658-Keyhole-Hanger-Plate/dp/B002CN7C0E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1504455500&sr=8-2&keywords=100+Keyhole+Hanger+PlateOliver,
I like the use of the metal key hole plate. Is that something you made up or can you purchase them?

That was one of the reasons I found the job sheets so helpful. The other was that as I designed things I often switched back and forth between router bits and I when I got to the cnc I would forget whether I had finally decided on a 90º V bit, a 60º V bit, or something else. Lately, I have been setting most of my datum centered on the job. I find it is easier to zero the axis on a draw center mark rather than the corner of the board.Good job, Oliver. I need to start making job sheets. There has been more than once that I got my board clamped and ready to go, but forgot where the datum was. Was it btm left corner or in the center. Each time I had to go back to the computer to check it out. A simple glance at the job sheet would solve that problem.
Thanks again Oliver, I just received my order of the key hole hanger plates.I bought them on Amazon, JT. A bag of 100 costs about $18, so they are cheap and easy to use.
