Thank you Ralph for your time and answers. I was a bit baffled on the number it was coming up with on the cut-through warning. I thought it had something to do with half value, but I couldn't get the same value on my calculator... (I'll blame it on the hour I seem to have lost overnight) Again, than...

I need help with a few items; First, putting this tool into the tool library properly. (see attachment. Rockler bit 90869) Second attachment is what I entered into as values for the database. Please let me know if these values are correct or not. **I dont' see where the 7/16 value is put into play. ...

Hi Tom, I'd tell you to hold your breath and count to 10 but... well,... it appears that the counting units we will be using are based on something similar to a 'month',.. (I'm pretty sure it's some new binary Mayan calendar counting system,.. but dont' worry,.. It does not appear to include a 22nd ...

Thank you everyone for your valuable input and help in troubleshooting this. It appears that this was a 'rookie' mistake. I made all the checks that John suggested regarding the test blank and measuring the bits. All checked out nominal (good). I think Tony and Rungemach and John all collectively kn...

Didn't seem like i was being 'too' aggressive 'halving' the amount of recommended passes,...

Thank you very much Tony !

Merci beaucoup

PorterCable 892 Using 1/8" ,4 flute, end mills inside a 'Precision-Bits' collet. Cutting (to .376 through) baltic birch ply (.375) in 3 passes. Brand new bits and the collet is thoroughly clean. I slowed down the feed rate (FRO) to about 45% 'thinking' that this would allow the bit to 'do the work' ...

....without asking my wife if I can spend more $$$ Never.. and let's make this very-very clear.... NEVER ever,,, NEVER ask permission,... much simpler to ask forgiveness. *** Another simple yet crude method is to use two 4" hose clamps. After securing the router (with a wrap of tape) in the standar...

Hi people, Tried to do a query through the posts but didn't come up with this. (Even though I swear I saw it here somewhere??) I'm looking for the dimensions for the router mount for the shark pro HD. There's nothing wrong with mine, but, I need to make a mount for a specialized tool. Before I go an...

Thank you both for your answers. (And for uploading the file to compare) I guess I've been doing things 'correctly'. (I've been adjusting my CAD files to compensate for some of these types of cuts) I just began thinking that I was missing the 'easy' button somewhere ! (Not complaining that it's exac...

There are a few questions inside of this attached file that I seek guidance on. (I've simplified the file greatly.. leaving only the areas I'm in question about) I am sure they are pretty basic for you daily users. I am just trying to figure out a few things before I return to cutting. This is a sim...
