Rick:
Just in case anyone was wondering why I'm unable to post as much as I used to, this picture is pretty much weekly for me:
I'm presently working on getting out a backlog of orders, and do hope to be a bit more active on the forums in the coming weeks.

So business is good?

Business is good! Thanks for asking!
I also determined yesterday that a change I had made to my CNC programs back a couple of months ago was detrimental to my progress... I'd implemented a 'lead in' which was supposed to gradually cut into the wood, and help to alleviate deeper cuts on single lines, like the circles I used for button and joystick holes. What I didn't know was that it had been applied to ALL lines - which means the router was going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth along edges, wasting a lot of time and burning bits out too quickly.
When I finally figured this out, I recalculated one of my larger projects - the full-size cabinet, which takes four sheets to complete. The original configuration took 5 hours 22 minutes to complete, and once I fixed the programming, it now completes in 2 hours and 10 minutes! So frustrating.
:timebomb:

Holy crap!
so you're one step closer to making plywood replica kits for the Nintendo upright?

Yeah. I was totally pissed at that gaffe. Ah well. Live and learn.

I am - with a small caveat. I'm working on a different 'major project' right now, and that's an upright CNC machine to replace the beast in my dining room.
When it's complete, it will still cut 4x8 sheets, have a footprint of 10' x 3', and be surrounded by a case that will help with dust and sound... ...much, much nicer to the whole 'in the house' dynamic.
I've also asked a bunch of questions about upgrading to an 80W laser - particularly how it handles mortises and depth of cut. It may be a big 'no go', but I'm doing my investigation first before deciding which direction to take. (I'm reallllly hoping laser will work for my application - because there's no pushback from a cutting bit, I should be able to push the machine from the 120IPM I'm getting now to up to 600IPM with the laser on rapids... ...but we'll see.)
