Nothing to do but read old posts, that stop short of a solution. Does it do it on a different sized work piece? (a smaller job).

Updating Control Panel

Installing a new control panel, I got from Mike.
Purchased a set of Drill Hog Bits off ebay, to drill the holes.
So far so good. Looks way better than the 12x16x8 I had on it.:D

2.2 Kw Spindle Finally

Just got a 2.2 kw water cooled spindle and vfd for an upgrade. The Porter Cable worked fine for plywood and long curves. We'll see how it goes.
Happy Turkey Day to all tomorrow.
