a little advise

[DistortedDesign]

I am finally near completion of my Joes 2006. I need some advise on what else I am going to need to get started. I have all of electronics, computers

I don't know much about router bits, brands, ect. I also need to know which bits i should get. I will be working on plexi, wood, and foam. If you know of a website to get them from that would be great.

i already got a pendant. I bought one of the shuttle pro 2.

I need a zero setter. I thought I saw one on here awhile ago.

If you can think of anything else thanks.

No one....??

There are a lot variables involved here. I would start with these (I just found but lost the thread they're from):

(don't go below 1/8" diameter on these, you'll probably have breakage problems if you do....)


There are a lot of threads on what type of cutting tool to use for a given situation.

Hope this helps....

Thanks, what are you using for a zero setter.

I use a piece of paper. The ones connected to a limit switch with a metal plate are really nice from the looks of them but nothing you need to get started.

Congrats on completing your build, it is a moment of great satisfaction to watch the machine cut something you design on the computer, even after months of watching it do this
