Looks like your workpiece is secured in place – make sure you wedge it on the sides too, so it can’t move in any direction. When I have used the CNC router to flatten big lumps of rough sawn timber,…   Read more»

Take my money Hey Boo, I think you’ve probably more than paid up front for one on these with you review efforts on other recent Bagpress products! Many thanks and a big, manly, socially distanced hug to you! You are…   Read more»

Hi Russ,
Watch this space – I’ll post some pictures under a new forum header later today.

I have a plan!!

And it looks a bit like this…..

I have a plan!!

Fantastic job Boo, I’m very impressed. I’m interested to know how easy you found the buffer to use, how long it took you to buff the body with both compounds and how you would rate the result compared to the…   Read more»

If there was a spindle lock somewhere on box Top work Boo! The shaft lock is a tricky one, not impossible, but very far from simple and the opposite of cheap! As soon as I start trying to customise standard…   Read more»
