I have one too. It got rained on when I closed my shop. :-( I need to either pull it apart and restore it or move it on to someone who wants to. My plan was to ditch the EP controller all together...

I just picked up a Leetro 6525 on ebay for $125. I'm hoping it doesn't have the large file issue I was having with the other controller and will get me going for a while to start making some money...
Hello all!
After closing down my shop a couple years ago I've not had much occasion to use my Redsail M500 engraver. It's a 60w 300mm×500mm table engraver running the original MCPsomethingorother...
Thanks Richard! My spindle right now is a PC router with a Precise Bits collet on it. I want to upgrade to a chinese spindle soon. The machine is 24x36, home built 8020 extrusion. Accuracy and...
Thank you Michael! I'll pass those on to him.

Here's in the US we're always like, "oh no! They're raising our taxes .01%!!! That's robbery!"
Check this out. Oi....
I asked that and he said the import duties are charged for shipping fees, too.
Richard, what do you use to cut the fret slots? I've been thinking about doing this, but haven't look to hard for a .023" end mill or something to cut it. With a bit so small, do you have breakage...
Hello all,
I have made a friend in Denmark. He is a beginning luthier, but has been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy which has severely curtailed his ability to do the hand work involved. I've been...
Tony,
mine spends most of the time on the shelf, but it does come in handy. It is the craftsman version, which I picked up the floor model a couple years ago for $10 on clearance. I don't think I...
I think they must be hosted on a Clinton Household Email server.
I have that same plane knocking around- I think the blade is marked Dunlap. I always assumed it was just a block plane.

Here's some more info-
small unknown open handle saw- 8TPI Cross cut 20" blade- I like open handles and this is cute so I will be keeping it.
No 12- 6TPI rip, 27" blade
Pre '17 D8- 7TPI Rip, 26"...
Stew,
Thanks for the input! I'll look through them and see what I can pull out compared to your recommendations.
I have a couple Foley saw filers and a couple tooth setters I can use to get...
Hello all,
I got bit by the vintage hand tool bug about 10 years ago and since have been buying up old tools as I find them cheap. This has resulted in a good group of Bailey number planes,...
$600 for a Dowling jig?!?!? I have a single spindle horizontal borer I would see ya for less, or a double spindle I would sell ya for $600 even. $600 for a jig?!?!? Is it made of gold? It better do...
I have a Powermatic 87 which is slated to replace a Powermatic 81, which is the same saw but wood only. 20" saw with a little over 12" resaw. Constant variable speed and blade welder. You could find...
I agree chinese blowers are a joke. I use a grizzly dust collector motor ducted in place on my laser. Works great. You need a good bit of CFM is the issue. If you go with the blower motor off a...
I use an aquarium chiller. Works great, is easier to get and cheaper than a laser chiller if you watch for a used one. I have a couple from when I was servicing saltwater aquariums. I have a...
If anyone is interested, I think I found the problem. I disconnected my UPS and went with a standard surge suppressor and things seem to be communicating better now. Looks like the UPS was failing...
Hey all,
I am finally back up and running with my CNC at home after closing my shop down almost 2 years ago. Everything was working fine before, but now I am having a problem with the G540 not...
There was a warning but I installed anyway. Works perfectly fine so far. Even less glitchy- when I was running it under xp x32, the xy jog control on the PC wouldn't communicate with the laser. Now...
I found another driver on rabbit laser's site for the controller. Finally got it talking to the laptop and it's working. Still not loading from USB drive, but at least I can use it now.
Now I...

Hello all,
I have a Redsail M500 laser engraver with a 60w tube running a 6515 controller. I was running this a year ago with an old XP laptop. Since then I have closed down my shop, moved back to...
