Re: Upgraded Static Mitigation Kits from ThomR.com

Cool idea.

I don't have a spindle nor the static problem, but I always appreciate seeing new ideas like this.

Spam moderation FAQ

I've received several questions about this for different individuals, so I thought I'd clear up some confusion. Q: Who are the moderators? A: Bob and I have been made moderators on the forum. This is a super helpful step by Rockler because it allows us to delete spam posts that had been piling up pr...

Re: Middle school teacher - I need an easy way for kids to make images

Image files like bmp aren't a straight conversion. You'll need to manually address each file a student turns in and not all will convert well. I'd recommend you have them install InkScape on their devices and save the results as .svg files. InkScape runs on PC, Mac, and Chromebook. And it's free, so...

Re: Missing Random Letters when using Laser

Unfortunately, I couldn't open the project file because your version of VCarve (11) is much newer than mine (8.5 -- has it really been that long?). The .tap file you uploaded looks great, though. Four copies of your logo and all the letters of each "UNIVERSITY" are present. I assume you have a way o...

Re: Missing Random Letters when using Laser

Very strange!

If that zip contains the vcarve file, I'll open it up when I get to my home PC this evening and take a look.

Re: Missing Random Letters when using Laser

The image you tried to post didn't show up. If you could post pictures of what happened, we could hazard a guess. If you post the .tap file and the project file, we could figure out exactly what happened. Without that, all I can do is conjecture that you had a problem in your project file. Maybe som...

Re: Carving and surface finish

I'm under the impression that Rockler doesn't want to give away access to remove user accounts. I get that -- we're total strangers to them. It's unfortunate that we can't just delete the offending account, but at least we can delete the messages that the spambot leaves. We have to delete each messa...

Re: Headscratcher for me?

That's a great photo, Rando. Very impressive what you've managed with the Shark. Next Wave ought to include your results in their promotional materials!

Re: Shark sd110

Wow, that's really hard to read and understand. It looks like maybe you're using voice dictation? If you could add some periods between sentences, it would be so much easier to make sense of. Do you have a picture of what the machine ended up cutting? Which post processor are you using when you expo...

Rando does excellent work with aluminum. What an upgrade!

You're in good hands with his support.
