OMFG
Gus has finally gotten to you

[Leo G]

Gus's machine can't edgeband. Did you watch it?

I've wanted a CNC before I knew Gus. He just likes to point his finger at me...

[naptownCr]

actually that is really effin cool

[naptownCr]

get one and thumb your nose at Gus

[Leo G]

I wonder what they are suing as a heat source. Looks like a damn plasma torch it's so bright.

I was watching it thinking big deal. Then they pulled out the edge bander and it went to WOW cool.

I just posted it over at CT directed at Gus. :grin::laugh3:

[WarnerConstInc.]

I thought it was going to set itself on fire.

I am going into the shelf building business.

[WarnerConstInc.]

Dammit Leo, I thought you had to rest for 13 minutes.

[Leo G]

I am resting. The newly installed computer in my head makes posting a non issue.

[WarnerConstInc.]

You are too cheap, it is probably like an old 386 machine.

[Leo G]

I run a 500 MHz pentium III in the shop.

Does quite well for what I need it for. Just won't run eCabs.

Isn't E Cabs your staple software?

[Leo G]

Yep.

I run it on my laptop. 1.8Ghz Dell Inspiron with dual processors and 2 GB of RAM.

[naptownCr]

So the shop computer is more for hanging out here and elsewhere

[Leo G]

No. The shop computer is my connection to the printer. I have a bunch of identical programs on both machines. ANd if I need something printed I will transfer it by jumpdrive to the shop computer and print it out. If I am at home I have a wireless printer that will print from my laptop (or any other of the computers at my house).

The shop computer is only connected to the internet by landline - slow. I use my cell phone connected to my laptop for internet access.

I don't use the shop computer much any more since I got my laptop and got it setup. But I have a lot of previous clients info on the shop computer. It is well backed up.

[Bodger]

That's amazing.
But, what would you do with all the extra time? :grin:

I like CNC but I still like the idea of hands on cabinetry. I guess it would be okay for carcase sides and such. High output shop.

How is old Gus anyway? He doesn't post much here.

[Leo G]

He doesn't post here at all. He thought it would conflict with his duties over at CT. I find that highly suspect. Hell, I'm here and I don't even have a CNC machine to do all my work for me.:laugh3:

[Winchester]

that is so freakin cool.

I'd buy one in a second. there's a lot of other stuff you could find to do with your hands if you wanted to :mad2:

[Bodger]

How's the maintenance on those bad boys.

[Leo G]

My hands are nearly maintenance free.

[Bodger]

I occasionally run a little water over mine, other than that, not much else going on.

'Sack complains that the fingernails on my right hand are a bit long, even though I keep them uber clean.
Better for the guitar pickin'. :laugh3:
