The factory insert is pretty bad. It sits lower than the table and it is flimsy. When working with small parts I got a lot of vibration in the material due to the fact that there was no support under it. I replaced the factory insert with one I made of wood. I planed down a piece of wood down to .135" thick, then cut a 3.125 circle out of it. I cut a line down the center and cut away and area around the blade. Gives me plenty of support now for my small parts.

Hello, I am new to this group and also just bought and put together this saw today. I have filled in some of the missing information bellow for the saw. As for feedback, I havent used it yet so I cannot say yet. I will post my feedback once I get a chance to run the saw a little bit. What do you mean by the blade feeding method?

I have an air compressor that I use to use to blow off parts, but its too loud in my new basement shop, so now I use my shop vac on the blow setting with a reduced attachment. That thing puts out some air. No need for the air compressor now, except to put air in the car tires.

I bought a laser printer many years ago and wont go back to inkjet. They print fast, the toner goes a long way and you can transfer the ink to a project if you wanted to.

I do the same thing, but I use Inkscape, Make my cut lines black and the area to be taken away a very light gray.

I had a feeling it was going in that direction. Great story, loved it.

Logo's are a touchy subject with copyright laws and such. I'm sure somebody could do it but to post it could get the lawyers after us again. Just saying.

I upgraded in the beginning of summer and I like it. I did have 1 compatibility issue with a program I use but after patching it I haven't had an issue since. I do like the version. Im not sure many here will have this program but the compatibility issue was with Autodesk Inventor. Everything worked fine except the File Manager. But after patching Inventor everything works as it should.

I do the same thing and what I have is a 20" box fan with a furnace filter attached to it. I sand behind that and blow all the dust to it. This keeps the huge majority out of the air. I will do my finishing in the opposite side of the shop with hopes that most of the particles have fell by then.

I saved it to my computer, opened it in Windows Photo Viewer. At the bottom of the photo there is some rotate arrows, I rotated it until it was correct then went to the next picture, it will either prompt you to save the picture or just save it.

Very nice cutting. I flipped it around for you.

I wish you luck finding a pattern, looks like this plaque has been around since the late 1800's. I saw a picture of one that somebody made in 1909 that is hanging in a museum.

I have yet to try 3D cutting, but I find it very interesting. Nice job, only 11 to go.

Did you check the pattern library, I thought I saw one in there.

That is a great looking portrait, I love the eyes. Well done.
