You achieve some very nice detail in the leather. Could almost be portrait quality if you knew the folks in the scene. Did you post your technique and I just missed it?

I use a dry teflon spray. Stay away from stuff like WD-40. Too oily and will attract dust and gum up the works.

It may not be a controller issue. I use a wireless mouse and sometimes that happens to me also. I click on a jog button and it's like my computer can't read the signal to un-click and the shark continues to move. I am thinking of going back to a wired mouse to see if that resolves the problem.

I upgraded from CNC shark Control panel 1.5.0.23H to CNC Shark Control Panel 1.6. I had reversed my X and Y to make the bed longer. My fix of editing the config file was lost. Everything was back to original. I had reversed my x and y to make everything normal to how I was seeing it. To open the con...

Thanks again Bob for your technique. It has come in useful a number of times. Here I made a rest for the rolling pins I did on my Shark last winter. I do have to admit that I did the cove on the table saw because it was quicker and the scallops on the bottom with my Shark.

I have changed the X and Y cables and have reversed the gantry by unbolting it and rotating 180 degrees. Everything works fine and now the X axis is the long side of the bed and the Y is the short. But I loose some space on the bed because the gantry doesn't extend the whole way now. I am not unders...

Here are some rolling pins I made using my original Shark. I wanted to make a Heritage piece of the corrugated rolling pins for my daughters and friends. These are based on a rolling pin my wife has that goes back to her great grandma and is used for making traditional Norwegian lefse. I don't have ...
