If you were to tip the saw blade 10 or 20 deg. to the right or left. Do you think there would be more blade cutting the wood at one time creating a slope. Making it not bog down at the tail of the lure. A router has a lot of vibration, hands are numb after running one for a day. I like the blade you are using. The lure should keep its shape?

Precisely, seems the simplest, so that's what I'm shooting for.

I've used that technique before to cope wood on a tablesaw. I havn't tried that on the machine, but tilting the blade a few degrees might very well ease the tax on the motor. I'd have to redo the tracer to suit the change, but it's not that hard, it's made from polyethylene.

I have to change flights in San Fransisco. One flight from San Fran to K City goes through Dallas - you could truck half "The Machine" over there, and I could get it on the plane as excess baggage, simple. pete

21 Days, I fly out of here

I am remembering how TSA forbid nail clippers on state side flights; do you think they'd have a problem with the rotating jaws of death???

Yeah, forward it to our claims dept....... Bruce is our claims manager

Hey, Bruce should I bring it as "carry-on" luggage?

[Spike-A-Pike]

Jerry, from what I'm seeing, as long as you have a padded nylon carry strap and there aren't any cords dragging behind, it should be okay.

The FBI did the background investigation and with the exception of those protest riots in the 60's, you should be able to bring it... BUT, for God's sake, leave the nail clippers home... you're not authorized to carry "concealed weapons" on "domestic air transport" like me.

MTfishingrods, Please, by all means, I'll print some claims forms in the new invisible ink jet ink, fill 3 copies in triplicate on February 30, of any year. Before I can process your claim I will need you to tender the usual $5,000.00 processing fee.

I like the simplisity of using the hand-held motor. I bet that it took alot of figuring out to setup the program for the machine. I have seen CnC machines in dog kennels for use in making personalized dog tags for the pets. Wouldn't it be nice for someone to start manufacturing a Cnc machine that is capable of manufacturing different lure bodies and have it available a local tackle shop for anglers to utilize at a unit cost of course.

The beauty of the set up is there is no program. Just simple mechanics. The concept is to get away for cnc or programs. It takes a lot of time and experience to write a progam. That is the reason it cost what it cost for aluminum molds (plastic or custom lead).
