Not sure why you want to send unset. You need to at least try the insert to make sure it keeps good time in my opinion. At least set it to your time and if they live in a different time zone then they can adjust. The insert is the whole clock. That is what they are buying mainly. I have had bad inserts and as I mentioned today they are not as reliable as they once were. especially the China ones. 

I didn't say I didn't check to see if it worked or not. but way to assume you know what i mean and don't mean from one word. have a great day if you want.

What's what you do when you ship them, LOL all the above ? LOL    I'm guessing you mean what I mentioned I do in the last sentence? 

Yes meaning I ship them like you do. I send unset and with instructions on how to get them set ,

That's what I do when I ship one.

I always use wood burner before i put finish on.

Welcome to the forum you kinda close to me I'm in Panama City

I have a older version I use it foe sanding and I've been playing around with it doing some carving.

Here are to signs I made for a customer and I charger $85 for each and the patterns where pretty much done except for the names. Both are made from cypress for fronts and red cedar for backs and are roughly 20" long x 15" tall

Welcome aboard but GO NOLES!!!!!!!

I used to set up using the U lay out, I found that it didn't have enough room for people to come in and look. So i started playing around with different setups and looking at other vendors setups. I finally landed on my current layout. 

I had some go bad that I put in a jar once. That was the first and last time I put it in a jar Now I just leave it in the can and hasn't gone bad again.

Happy Birthday Kevin hope you have a good one

I didn't  have a father around to teach me anything I learned to do it by trial and error method. The men in my wife's family can't do anything without calling a repair man or me. Her cousins water heater had a leak and didn't know where or how to turn off the water to the house. I make sure anytime I have to fix or replace anything I make sure my son is there to learn to do it I even make him do it at times with me standing over to give advice or instructions. I have a four door ford F150 with the small back doors and the quit opening so I made him watch a video on you tube on how to fix the problem and told him to go fix it and if he needed help to come get me and he didn't need it. It really makes me made that more parents don't teach there kids to do things on there own when the older generation dyes off this world is going to be in big trouble.

I bought a epson all in one printer it prints up to 13"x 19" from computer but has a 11" x 17" scanner bed. I was tired of making trips to town to get large copy's it was worth it to me.Here is a link to the the one I have.  https://epson.com/Clearance-Center/All-in-One-Printers/Epson-WorkForce-WF-7610-All-in-One-Printer---Refurbished/p/C11CC98201-N

I bought the Delta spindle sander and the front is wide open so I made this little thing to help with dust collection.

I don't know how I got it to post two pics one sideways and one upright. It is from peachttree woodworking and it works fine for me.(table saw,planer,router table, scroll saw , bandsaw)

Stoney this is my wall mount unit don't use a dust deputy.[attachment=40699:dust collector 3.jpg

Not sure why my picture turned sideways 

Stoney this is my wall mount unit don't use a dust deputy.

How do those of you who stack cut with the Excalibur, manage to keep the cut fretwork from tilting down and hanging up in one of those many holes in the table?

 

I would rather not have to  push out the cut fretwork each time.  Some patterns really need the cut fretwork to stay in place to support peninsulas.

 

Anyone cover the ex table with a one hole and otherwise solid cover?  If so what material did you use and how did you adhere it to the table?  And how well is that material holding up after prolonged use?

I used formica like they use om counter tops it also eliminated the scatches on the table top. I just used contact cement and used the trim router with a pattern bit to trim of excess. I hope this helps Jeff

Use one for display only then you can use a vacuum sealer like you use to seal meat for the freezer. When i do a special order and have to ship it thats what i do. Hope this helps. Jeff

Dan that's a great idea i think I'll give that a try.

I think its more of a hole in one. I like the way the background looks as its curved on the outsides.

It seems to have good reviews .  One comment that was made is the the table insert is slightly recessed creating a small ridge that can snag the wood or if you are not paying attention will allow the wood to skew just slightly,The Jet has the same issue. I sometimes put a another thin piece of wood on the top, until I put in some set screws so that I can tweak it. It is not a major issue as long as you are aware of it. 

I have the Jet, I absolutely love it. It really helps me when I need to do some tweaking when doing intarsia. and the 1/4 in spindle is my most used 

The zero clearance inserts for my bandsaw were the same way. I bought some of the duct tape by gorilla glue, which is thicker than most, I put it on the bottom and it made it level so it should work for this as well. The tilting table was a big decider but the 1/4"  spindle was the main reason for me.

I'm looking at buying a spindle sander and was wondering if anyone has or knows anyone who has this sander. I really want one that has a tilting table and goes down to a 1/4' sleeve. I know the jet also has these features but out of my price range at this moment. Thanks Jeff

Nicely done Rolf.

I use either ur #1 or ur #3 depending on what hard wood I'm using. For the hard woods like maple and cherry i use the ur#3 and the ones not as hard i use the ur#1. I cut all my puzzles from 3/4" woods. Jeff
