[QUELAB CNC] Where's the X-Carve?

[John Benedetto]

Geoff,

Glad to find out it's somewhere definite, and not 'missing' (perhaps
'misplaced' might be a better term). I missed any discussion of you taking
it home!   How is enclosure construction going?  Have you set a done-by
date to have it completed & back to Quelab (similar to what was done with
Morgan, with the time limit he was asked to follow to get the X-Carve
upgrade kit installed)?  How soon until we can start cutting stuff?  Do you
think we will be able to have it in the Quelab tent at MMF?

@Dr Opto - Geoff doesn't say anything about a vacuum or dust collection. He
says "to keep sawdust out of it", which I took to mean that other tools in
the shop generate sawdust which was covering the tools on the CNC Table.
However, that is a good idea, to install dust collection of some type,
since it will be quite the sawdust generator once we starting cutting
things on it!

Geoff, Hi -
I came down to Quelab Sunday evening wondering if we might get better
coordinated.

I spoke to Eric and others where we learned second hand that you have the
CNC and the Bosche palm router. And I hope the cutters and the collets.

Congratulations!

Just want to understand that all the physical hardware that I bought for the
project is available.

Good idea for an enclosure and especially vacuum cleaner to collect metal
particles and other shavings.

What I'm hoping to learn is that interested software geeks get a chance to
try out/sort through the ones that members seem passionate about proving in.
There are three members that I seem to recall: Adrick, Morgan, and one other
I haven't got his name right yet (Maybe you)... sorry.

Am hoping to learn of progress via this channel.
Please let me know if there are other hardware concern that I can contribute
to.

Best Regards,

John Anthes
Dr. Opto
