Started with old mini frig may re-visit that idea later.), Cobbled together digital temp sensor and alarm, Air solenoid for laser on only, larger CFM fan, Table inserts with alignment screws: Raised pin style, rotary and small vise.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Russ for sharing his experience. This is my first time joining a forum, hope I can contribute to the group, I'm retired with a background in machining, welding and fabrication. I love knowledge and learning about all sorts of things. Became interested in CNC several years ago, friend and I built a MDF JGRO router about 2010. Around 2015 I purchased a CNC Router Parts kit. Have wanted a laser for several years. And finally got the Big Blue in December of 2019. I feel bad knowing I'm joining because I lost all my parameters. Should have watched episode 74 before running my machine. I seriously hope I can repay the help in the future.

Welcome Joel- we have collected several sets of the perimeters - pick the on closest to your machine, be aware that home positions vary from builder to builder so if the peram you try heads in the wrong corner have a finger on the exit [or is it cancel?] key to stop before a crash. Russ is our guiding light but does not check in often, we have many of his files and a list of contents of many of his videos. Gene
