I love it. Animal subjects are so much fun to cut and you did it well!
-
Thanks for all the kind remarks and wishes!

Yeah Kevin, a picture of the noise reducer might be helpful. Glad the Seyco is working well for you.

Been under the knife many times, NO FUN! Do what the doctors tell you and have a speedy recovery!

I'm not bragging about the project but rather about my 21 year old grandson. Out of 163 applicants to the police department there were five finalists and my grandson was the one they hired. He graduated from college with a football scholarship at the same time working for the campus police and security in a halfway house. I'm bustin' my buttons with pride! Pattern is by Sue Mey and top is metallic gold.

Hard to describe it. Beautiful, stunning, fantastic and the list can go on and on.

You done really good friend!

I have two of the mini cyclones, plastic and metal. I use cpap hose. my only problem is when cutting out small pieces they are often sucked up along with the saw dust. Talk about effective!

I've used several over the yeas in model railroading. They can be a pain. I wold not use one on scroll projects

That makes me think it is not the blades. Otherwise many people would be having a problem too. That just makes me thing there must be other variables at play. Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions other than those already stated. Guess I'm no help.

Many thanks for all the information. I cleaned up the project to be usable. I did sharpen the HF bit somewhat. However, I will get a quality bit. Unfortunately I need it so infrequently. Were I 10 years younger I would not hesitate. But since...How long will I be around?

Very nicely done.

Great job on a true classic!

Your projects always look terrific. You cut mostly 1/8" BB and paint with a rattle can. Before applying the paint do you prep the wood with anything like a sealer. I'm cutting a project which I will paint but want a nice slick finish. Any suggestions?

Looks great. Good job!
-
Sam will be proud of you.

I'm not a smoker but I think it's pretty cool.

You still the man!

WOW!

On my milling machines I would use conventional milling moving the material against the rotation of the cutter then on the last pass I would make a very slight climb cut moving the material away from the rotation of the cutter. This gives a very nice finish. The applies to to the metal lathe. The bit moves forward to the material spinning counter clockwise and then reversing the cutter a very smooth surface is left. I would not ever have the nerve to climb cut on the router. Lots of good answers from this group. I will try touvhing up the round over bit with a diamond card file and also try a new cutter which I have.

Today I got my drill working. I purchased a 1/3 hp motor and made an adapter plate for mounting. working beautifully. I'm back in business!

Thanks for the many helpful reply's. I have carbide files to dress the bits and will give that a try. Also because my router is not a high end router making mini adjustments is kind of iffy.
