This is going to be fun.

[Keith Outten]

The odds of winning today are one in 54.

I wonder if I can find a company that would be willing to offer a set of router bits to go with the Stinger?

[Bob Savage]

Wow, those are pretty good odds.

[Joey Jarrard]

I bet you can Keith. I heard you have been talking with one.

[Richard Link]

Was the table design file posted?
I need some lead time to build my table since it will be welded steel. Can't do much without some dimentions.

Keith,

Haven't seen anything yet from Jim. Still happy to help with formatting, etc.

Just out of curiousity, why do you need a welded steel table?

i come in every monday and tell tony to write the demensions down as we did build this one from actual measurements.

i will try to do this tonight

[Keith Outten]

Richard,

I don't really need a welded steel table but that is what I normally use to build tables in my shop. My main workbench is steel, has a 1/4" thick stainless steel top and heavy angle iron for legs. My secondary workbench is a 700 pound capacity steel hydraulic table with a plywood top. I just like tables that I can use for both metalworking and woodworking because I do a lot of both.

I expect one of the reasons I like CAMaster machines is that their frames are wellded steel. The last time I machined a 3D project at CNU with their ShopBot the frame was shaking in the X direction, not something I will tolerate again as it will be fixed soon. I haven't noticed a lot of shake on my ShopBot at home, it has the old style channel iron table rails. The ShopBot at CNU has the newer aluminum table support rails which I am not a fan.

even though this table is wood it should be steel, this machine is more industrial than one would think for the price,

[Jerome Stanek]

do you have to let anyone know you want to be entered?

[Keith Outten]

Jerome,

Once your Friends of The Creek record is completed you will automatically be entered in the drawing.

[Keith Outten]

The odds of winning the new CAMaster Stinger CNC Router this morning are 1 in 63.

Joining Friends of The Creek also gets you full access to SawMill Creek for one year and a link from our high traffic web site which is great advertising value.

The new Stinger is taking off so there will be a waiting list if you order one today. I know because I am on the list at 3 to 4 weeks.

The list will only get longer folks but don't wait for the drawing.....CAMaster will refund your money if you win the Stinger in our Friends of The Creek Drawing on July 4th.

Good luck to everyone in the drawing
