The seat shape and legs would be easy to cut out, design time maybe 30 min about the same for cutting, to cut the name in the sides you would need some form of angle bracket that could hold the work vertical whist cutting. Attached are two I made for my machine 1st a fixed angle bracket, for a...

Hi, I went down the route of buying an old redundant machine and replaced rails, ballscrews, and designed and built the electric controller for it, but the main thing was I rebuilt it to what I wanted to do with it, also built a standalone 4th axis for round work that I can use on the cnc or...

I started designing 2 1/2 D models from images with the idea of applying to furniture, but got sidetracked into making plaques with them on to put around the house, I found there are some odd lovely shapes in trees and this is where I am at the moment. My wife is totally blind and the shapes of...

Nice work on the clock how many have you made, I find the cnc work more exciting from the design stage through to cutting totally different to taking up a hand saw and cutting the part out. Phill

Hi Is anyone using cnc in their workshop. Phill

Thank you for the explanation I was not aware of this, when I read the comment that the member should not have advertised, my thought was why should I not be entitled to see what was on offer when I am "giving" my time and experiences to help folk. Phill

On the mortised part you leave a tang / tenon that fits into the saw cut to stop the sides moving out as in the image, not showing wedge but this would be below the head as Jacob pointed out. Phill

I have worked on church restoration and radius windows and used these type of tenons, rule of thumb is tenons should be no less than 1/3 the width of stock used, attached is an image of how I cut them, if you make a sawcut each side of tenon approx 20mm higher than shoulder this forms a grove...

Hi, I have a spare Ovolo cutter on 3/8" shank max o/d 52mm with 20mm round over cut I used to use these in a hand held Elu, soft start on power up, wind up to speed and climb cut (pull it back towards you hold on tight as it can grab) in small passes until you can do a couple of finish passes...

Just looking to gauge opinion from workers here on Dovetailors, I have a Elu 24" free standing model and have used it for many years and with the more use of cnc I was wondering if I cnc'ed it could I justifiy the cost. I guess what I am asking is do other workshops still use them as much today...
