CNC Shark Forum

I was looking for a 10-20 watt. Want to cut 1/inch wood and some metals. looking to engrave glass too. I'm hoping "1/ inch wood" really means "1/4 inch wood", otherwise you're going to be sorely disappointed with most any laser you'll buy.

A very small angle variance would have been my first guess. I'm not sure what it would be, otherwise.

I haven't done any account moderation whatsoever. Simply deleting spam posts. I'm on here almost daily, so I'm able to clean the spam posts as they appear.

Reporting their posts does nothing. I've sent multiple emails to sharktalk@rockler.com, but I don't think that account is being monitored. I just put in a phone call to Rockler's Shark support. Last time I tried this, the bots were cleared out a couple days later. It would be so much easier if Rockl...

Try CTRL+E or CTRL+G in the Control Panel.

Absolutely beautiful work!

How did you secure the candy bowl while you routed it?

I've experienced the same issue when cutting gears for clocks. The arbor holes don't precisely match what I expect, so I go back and use a drill press to get the precise hole size I want. I've never investigated it closely enough to fix it, but I suspect the problem lies between bit sizes not perfec...
