I had been using staples on some 1/4" wood but they were a pain to take out. I'm cutting a lot of guitar frames (inside frame) so have to do a lot of stapling - hold downs just on the edges don't work as the air lifts the board off the table. I sometimes have to use 8 staples depending on the design. I came across these round head staples and they are great - pop em off with a screwdriver instead of digging them out of the wood - saves me lots of time. You have to be sure they are out of the way of the bit but you have to do that with regular staples, too.  |

Hey there!!
Yes, it is playing nicely now, lol. With summer here time has been split between having outdoor fun and playing with the CNC. We just finished to guitar frame jobs so are looking for more things to do.....not that we don't have a nice long list of things to try. One of these days I still have to get with you on the soft stop thingy.
Did you see the arch door frames that I added yesterday? The contractor is putting them together. Now that I see it I'm amazed we actually did them.
Hope all is well with you and your CNC...any new projects???

The arches look fantastic! I had missed the post for some reason. Here's a retirement plaque I made out of 1/2" Acrylic with LED lighting. I am just finishing up another one for a Rental place. I like the acrylic look. Attachments:

I like the acrylic look. Waiting for my machine to arrive. Very interested in making a couple of those for daughter and son. Could you give me more information on how to install LED lights? Looks great also. |
