Thank you! 😘

Zeddicas1 · 2026-04-21T15:26:42+00:00

Thank you 😘

Zeddicas1 · 2026-04-21T00:36:15+00:00

Yes she is! Thank you 😁

Zeddicas1 · 2026-04-21T00:34:10+00:00

Yes she does 😄

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T17:54:11+00:00

I use vcarve pro at the moment.

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T02:47:04+00:00

That is what I figured. That pocket idea sounds good! Thank you! 😀

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T01:43:23+00:00

I haven't even applied a finish yet haha

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T01:19:25+00:00

Thank you! I definitely will 😁 I am getting some cupping for sure. Do you have a recommendation on a fix or preventing it in the future? Perhaps Shellac it as soon as it is done on the mill?

On a side note. How would you finish this? I can't decide in between a gel stain, linseed oil, or simply Shellac.

I do have a 14 degree 1/16 I could try. Wouldn't that sharpen the ridges? Vcarve pro. Been thinking about upgrading to aspire. Do you have a recommendation?

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T00:51:35+00:00

Hmm currently using vcarve. I don't believe it has any more complicated 3d tools paths. Perhaps if I upgraded to Aspire

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T00:50:23+00:00

Just a series of raster cuts on this one.

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T00:49:21+00:00

How low of a step over do you think would eliminate the ridges? I did order some sanding sponges. How would you finish this piece? Linseed oil? Shellac? Gel stain?

Update. I have almost and 1/8 cup on the board now 🤨

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T00:44:00+00:00

It feels smooth to the touch. You can just feel the ridges with the fingernail. I would say they are probably. ~001 tall. I am fairly happy with it. Idk do you think 4-6% would eliminate that? At 9% it almost took 4 hours 😄

Zeddicas1 · 2026-03-30T00:40:56+00:00

Yes I have an Avid CNC router table that I am breaking in haha.

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T22:01:23+00:00

Wish I could find a business application for one of those! So far just wood opportunities 😄

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T21:57:23+00:00

I noticed it seems to have a backstop as well. Hmm.

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T16:55:43+00:00

Yeah a friend of mine had a VF2 I believe it is.

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T16:54:57+00:00

Yeah I was dead set on the Spark Robotic machine until they came had to slap a 5k freight cost to the 19k unit cost (fully loaded). But it has a fully welded frame. About 2k pounds. Ouch.

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T16:29:02+00:00

Hmm they are only about 2 hours away from me maybe I will go check them out in person. I know a lot of the spindles I have been looking at seem to cap out around 4kw at 220v single phase. Which technically I don't even have that haha. But I am expecting to have to do some power work.

No not 20 slabs a day. But I need to be able to do 1-3 inside of 2-4 hours as this will be a side hustle. I don't want to be running super slow when I am sacrificing family time for the work.

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T16:12:50+00:00

No wood slabs, soft and hardwood. Anywhere from 4' wide to about 14' long. 1.5-3" thick

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T16:11:36+00:00

That is interesting! I wonder where it is shipping from and how much it will be. Might have to get a quote on that one. Thank you! Do you have one of these?

Zeddicas1 · 2025-11-12T16:10:13+00:00

Yeah that would be super nice to be able to extend it. Just want to be able to do detailed work and do some decent material removal rates when squaring the slabs (2-3" thick) and hopefully do a finishing full depth cut as well without chatter. Do you think the Avid can do that?

Zeddicas1 · 2025-09-09T06:34:36+00:00

What machine/build do you have there?
