Gentlemen,

Thank you one and all for your inputs on the Grizzly band saw. I'm going to have to do some "re-thinking" and "re-looking" here that's for sure.

Question though. A number of you...

Mark,

Thanks for your input. I thought Delta was made in Mexico? Most of their bench top tools are/were made there or at least were when I bought mine over ten years ago. The only reason I was...

Gentlemen,

I've read the various threads in this forum on band saws while researching a possible purchase of a 14" unit to replace my bench top 9" Delta. Although I'm partial to American made...

Robert,

It appears that you've only looked at a small portion of the machines that are out there. You might want to have a look at LCC LaserPro, Pinnacle and or TroTec before you spend this kind...

Greg,

I cancelled out on both the ARA Las Vegas show and the NBM(?) show in Long Beach, California, for the exact same reasons you're looking for a show closer to your home and or place of...

Gentlemen,

Thank you very much for all of this great information. I found what I needed at a price I can afford.

Just one additional question. Have any of you had difficulties, when using...

I'm doing some cutouts, using 1/32" bass wood, and would like to piece them together using double sided tape applied to the wood before cutting with my 30 watt laser.

There have been a number of...

Belinda,

That changes a few things. First off unless you have someone with direct access to the Corps, I would strongly suggest that you contact your local USMC recruiting office and discuss your...

Belinda,

First off, I'm very sorry for your loss. Always a tough thing to go through, even more so if it's an actual family member. Best wishes in dealing with this.

Just a couple of...

Stephen,

For the record, I am not a rep for TroTec/Epilog/LCC LaserPro/Universal/Pinnacle etc, but before you buy a laser you owe it to youself to have a look at the TroTec line. And if you have...

Keith,

Sounds good. Hope you and your fellow forum moderators can keep it that way!

One and all,

Good point Keith. Thank you for getting "us" back on track.

My two cents. There's a reason it's called free enterprise! And competitive pricing is the key. If someone can do...

Bob and Dave,

Thank you both for your responses. The laser is just another "printer" so why should it be any different. Will check this out with the Apple folks just to make sure.

Dave Garcia...

Creekers,

I need some advice from those of you with wireless connections in your business.

Has anyone used a wireless setup between their computer and their laser? If so, and you're a Mac...

Dan,

Thanks for point the "virtual" part out. Totally missed that in Sarah's note. I'm now rethinking how I'm going to set up my laser computer interface.

Sarah,

Understand and thank you.

You stated that you have a VMWare virtual software package loaded on your Mac. Is that VMFusion? And if so, why did you elect to forgo Boot Camp? Have you...

Sarah,

What am I missing here?

I am a Mac user and am in the process of ordering a laser. Noting and having been told that the "standard" for most lasers (except the Illustrator driver that...

Guy,

Very "interesting" explanation. Thanks.

Regardless of the supposed sarcasm, I still like the statement! Makes perfectly good sense to this pea sized brain!

And totally agree with your...

Bryan and Guy,

Would a water jet type cutter work better than a CNC machine for this? Not sure what the cost would be but........... just a thought.

By the way Guy, really like your "sign...

Dan,

Totally agree. Never did like that "red with meat, white with fish" deal either. Where I came from if you could "tap" into the local Gallo factory holding tanks you were golden!

Guess...

Dan,

Pinot Grigio with filet mignon? Really? Hmmmm. Now I know someone is funnin' us all in this thread somewhere!

Steve,

The first thing you should do with that new/used CW you just purchased, besides getting it up and running, is to buy a Rock Chuck and install it. The second thing you should do is buy a...

Jess,

First off, please get the machines serial number. Then call either CarveWright, the company that actually makes the machine, and or Sears that sells the Compucarve, and ask them if this is...

James,

I think our government calls it "taxes".

.............. and the world goes round!!!
