The next cool thing: my website is online now. It’s mostly German, but the translators are pretty good nowadays. :sweat_smile:

Check it out, if you’d like: www.hawiwe.de.

I sent it last night from the website. Went to the shop and you had a cutting board but no price, it gave me a button for price inquiry lol

I tried 6mm DOC with 2000mm/min at 24k RPM with a new 6mm 2-flute in Satinwood today. It was not nice. Granted, it’s the most dense and heavy wood I’ve ever worked with, that’s why I chose it.
Even my thickness planer has problems with it with minimal depth and the thing eats everything else easily.
3mm DOC is completely fine though. :smile:

Okay guys, the results are in: the LowRider 4 is incredible. I am in the process of making another pencil case (yeah, the one trick pony…). I again mixed it up though: I made it two-colour. A light yellow from Satinwood and red from Red Heart. It’s neither oiled nor done yet, but damn does it look good. And the best thing: I cut it with 0 tolerance between inside and outside and look how it fits. I hammered it in with a soft hammer and it is completely snug, no glue.

I am really happy. :slightly_smiling_face:

Also: no sanding was involved at all! This is the actual finish of the cuts!

Your machine is dumb, it does exactly what you tell it to do. There is only one pro here and it ain’t the mchine.

Okay, different approach: the LR4 does exactly what I tell it to do without even minimal flex. That’s a pro machine in my eyes. :sweat_smile:

If you are not going over the limits and carefully find the right settings, it should be doable for everyone though I have to admit that I have done a lot of pencil cases in the last years and it is kind of practice as well.

Funnily, the lid and bottom have a 0.5mm gap programmed in that I have always needed. Now the lid wobbles by 0.5mm… :smile:

The dfx for the pencil case are on my page or any of the pencil case makes in case you want to try one as well. :slightly_smiling_face:
