I see your point, Gerald. I bow to the expert. Sorry, I was typing while Gerald was posting.

No problem John...I appreciate your willingness to help.

A lot of people don't understand the value of the adjustable stoppers at the ends of the x-rails - they are actually the key to the whole squareness issue.

here me again :)

Looks good, but the first video doesn’t work, I'll love to see how you numpad works.

i will post tomorow again

Gorantec looks good. I was not able to see the first video of it cutting but had a program that downloaded the video anyways and was able to see what youtube wasn't showing. Looks like you are cutting what you posted in those pictures of some type of grid pattern. Nice to see you have the dust collection up and running too. I noticed that you should be able to push that baby a little bit faster but of course you are probably working out the bugs.

Congrats on the serial number... :)
