All layers that are used for reference should be locked so you don't accidentally move them. Can you load the original file and see if they were shifted in that version? Shoot me an email for a faster reply jayscustomcreations@gmail.com

I've never done that with the laguna band saw. I did it with my old grizzly. I just tied a flex hose to the upper blade cover.

That sounds like a complicated way to get to the same result. I used the machine to cut the perimeter of the vertical table while cutting the dog holes. This means the holes are perfectly perpendicular to the top of the table. Then just mount it to the aluminum with the top of the table touching the bottom of whatever is in the spindle. Verify the height by putting the spindle on the far left and far right ends while securing the table.

@@JayBates Got it, now - Thanks

If you're making the table to fit the dogs then it doesn't matter. If you are using my file you would need to get the close fit

@@JayBates thank you. I purchased your file, so I’ll get the close fit dogs

No. I have a compound miter saw and have never made a compound cut. If the need arises it would be easy to make an angled holder of some kind to mount the work piece to. I didn't want to build it into the design knowing id rarely, if ever, use it.

I'm curious about that as well. I just ran across the video and the design is nice, but how do you replace the top layer if you have glued it to the bottom board?

Wondering the same thing

Yes, so dust doesn't get trapped and build up.

@@JayBates Thank you.....will be doing that in the morning

SketchUp and V Carve Pro

@@JayBates thank you!

Glad to hear you use SketchUp still. I have built a furniture building business around it and am comfortable with it and hope to be able to continue using it as I grow into cnc work

OK, I see how on the other video, you used 2x4s rather than going directly into the frame

So to remove the spoilboard it's an all-or-nothing thing, where you would need to remove all of the MDF and the 2x4s

That depends if you are also purchasing a spindle with your CNC package. If are going to use a router then you don't need 220V outlet.

Regarding the spoilboard, never remove it. When you get close to replacing it, mill it flat and glue on another layer. There is never a need to remove the spoil board top layer. I don't like to leave screws in the spoil board so I don't accigdentally hit one with the bit.

Yes. I want to redo the spoil board at some time to get the vertical table in the front.

Picture a piece of 3/4" plywood that is 49" long x 12" tall. Mill it on the CNC so that it looks like a wide, short U shape. The left and right ends of the U are in the 12" direction and about 2" wide. In the middle of each end of the U are a vertical slot about 11" long. The slots can be used with bolts and star knobs in the lower T-track with the bottom of the U shape spanning the entire width of the table to act as a shelf or a stop to repeat locate items vertically. With the plywood in the U shape the slots will allow it to go down close to the ground for longer stuff. For shorter stuff the entire piece can be flipped so the U shape becomes a n shape with the support on top. Hope that makes sense.

@@JayBates it does. I figured you had something already planned out.

I have no immediate need to get it just yet. I'll wait until I have some projects lined up with it in mind.

@@JayBates oh gotcha,I thought in one of the other videos I heard you say it hadnt arrived yet. figured it was on it's way. looking forward to all of it regardless!

Crossword puzzle

Never mind I found the response further down, very cool! I tried to search for it but forgot youtube comments are loaded as you scroll.

I really don't understand these kinds of comments. It's all a matter of perspective or opinion. I wouldn't spend $3000 on a hydraulic car lift but I know a lot of auto enthusiasts who have them in their personal shops. Who cares how other people spend their money?

@@JayBates Easy to understand, $3000 for an entire piece of equipment is one thing, but to spend that much on an accessory is another. However in the end it is up to the individual to decide what is right for them, all I am trying to say is perhaps some of these companies that sponsor You tube content creators by throwing free stuff at you like its candy and then expect all of us to run out and lay down hard earn money needs to re-think who exactly is the consumer here. Its one thing to get something for free, another to have to open the wallet to get it. I have a shop full of all kinds of cool tools that I have bought with my hard earned dollars, and some of which I had to save for years to get, or piece mill it together. That much money just to hold something down in my opinion can be well spent else where. This coming from someone with 3 CNC machines and years of experience clamping stuff down. Of course I do not blame you in anyway, you have found a way to do what you love and get paid for it which is awesome.

Maybe. But it's not complex in the computer. Copy, paste, move to a corner. I think it's just a matter of preference at that point.

I think the nail gun you mentioned is a great solution for certain situations, like full sheets of plywood without a vac table. I'll probably buy one soon. As far as the MDF, it would have been a LOT easier to glue 3 sheets of plywood together and "clamp" them down with screws while the glue dried. Then use the CNC to cut the slots for the track, holes for the track bolts, and dog holes. But I didn't think it through that much when making it. That would have saved a ton of back and forth time clamping the strips down.

That puts a lot of stress on the gantry. Those stresses would have to be compensated for somewhere. There are some CNC's that are vertical like that though.

Check "maslow cnc"

Yes

I built this for me, not a vast majority of users :)
