Thanks guys I appreciate the help on this! Snap

Can anyone steer me towards a distributor/seller of cam lock clamps? I have a Techno Isel Router with a T-slot table and need some cam lock clamps for various job setups. I was supposed to get some with the machine but they have not arrived and are on some type of "backorder". Having said, that I have work to do and would appreciate a web site, name or phone number of a supplier. Thanks in advance for any info on this! Snap

Hey Mike count me in. Just starting with Mastercam in Northeast PA. Working with A Techno Router, Southwestern Mill and Lathe. Also have a Sharp Lathe. Rich Valentino

Guys: Brand new to this forum. Wanted to say Hello and give a few specs hoping for some input. I teach Woodworking 9-12 at our local high school and we just purchased a Techno 4848. Man she is sitting in my shop and has not even been turned on for the first time. I have reps coming for some "adult supervision" soon [i hope], but in the meantime I have been working and self teaching myself with Mastercam v.9.1..............This is awesome stuff to say the least! Starting to understand the basics of 2D project construction in mastercam. Had to reteach myself Cad after being away from it for several years. The commands and strokes are a bit different from what I was working in. I think rast2vec is going to be big for me....Finally figured out a procedure for working an image into Mastercam from my scanner. It worked, but I want to try several more designs before I say I can do this with my students. Any thoughts on a small project to start us off with? I was thinking of a small wooden box. I was going to have the kids glue and machine a block of hardwood down to a specific size. Next have them work up a post for engraving their name into what will be the top or lid of the box. Maybe a machined groove around the top, perhaps 3/8" in from all edges and ends. Next I would machine off the top/lid with coventional tooling and then on the remaining section of the block we could do a "pocket procedure" to hollow out the body of the box. How does this sound to the folks, who have the experience. As stated earlier, I am brand new with this technology. That's not to say I am brand new to teaching Tech Ed. I have been doing what i do for many years. This will be year 34 and I got to tell you, I'm excitied! Hope to hear some thoughts and THANKS in advance. SNAP
