My piping is all 4 inch but I think the main issue with DC is the total CFM of the DC. I know that others talk about leaks and good blast gates, but I have a pretty good system that even keeps up...

Stan, whose long endmills did you use? Russ
My local 'sink' shops used to give me their 'scrap' but lately they have been ordering their counters precut! Shucks! Russ
I've got a cheapo laser and when my machine does that it is usually out of focus. It doesn't take much. It also shows up if the material is the least bit reflective as the laser light seems to want...

Well so far I have been through all of the focus, leveling, distance, clean up steps as listed in my manual. I can cut everthing BUT ply so it is still my assumption that it is my stash of ply...
Once again I want to thank all of you that have replied. I am a model builder and have been putting together for years, both scratch-built and from kits. I love the so called 'laser kits' where...
Thanks gang for all of the replies. The problem was / is defintely on MY end and not the machine. I finally got it to cut some cardstock so I knew it was in fact working, then I tried a bunch of...

Thank you Martin for the information I appreciate it! Russ
OK silly question, is there a good resource for looking up suppliers of substrates suitable for laser engraving / cutting? Thanks in advance. Russ
What did the 'chips' feel like! Were they cool or warm, when through cutting was the router bit cool or warm to the touch. Cool bit, warm chips is what you want. You want the heat to follow the...

I have a computer next to my cnc machine and use these guys 'bags' to cover it with no problems. You might want to see if they have something that is close to the size you want. Russ

I don't have any issues about DC. It even keeps up with my 24 inch planner but the planner does require frequent bag dumps! :D Russ

What does the U S Buildings technical support people say? Russ
"have to learn a new language first" LOL - yep, when i got my ShopBot I already had computer and cad skills but . . . . All of the cnc router STUFF was written assuming that I had woodworking...
