    Chris has sent a couple of photos of the Mechanical Woodworker is use. Unfortunately I'm not able to see them (and therefore unable to share).

    The email looks like this:

    But when I click on the "View photo" icon I get this:

    Screen Shot 2019-10-17 at 6.32.07 PM.png

    Which is a different screen from what I was getting last night - but which I was equally unsuccessful in cracking to view. Any ideas folks?

    Cheers, Vann.

    The part I am making is part of a sphere. The machine, the rotary table and standard tooling work well. Some would consider the set up dangerous! The machine is run at it’s lowest speed so not too scary. For this job I have yet to make slightly longer cutter bars. That will up the peripheral speed but with fine cuts it should be OK. I keep out the cutter’s line in case it throws a blade. I don’t believe that is likely. Never used this tooling before.

    It looks nearly as scary as that cut Auscab was doing on his LQ some months back .

    Default Wadkin WW Tooling

    I see I've forgotten to put up pictures of tooling Chris showed me, when I was up there.

    These are just three examples of larger tooling that came with the machine.

    Then there's this holder, for convex...

    ...and concave, cutters. That cutter he's holding is about 6 1/2" from wing to wing.

    And finally this, which looks like the cutter Chris was using this week.
