@c39b392a Congrats! I have a Stepcraft in my garage we use to make all sorts of things.

Feeds & speeds is something that takes time & trial/error to learn, so make sure you make notes about what works well in the beginning so you can track what your machine does well vs what might need to be adjusted/upgraded.

Make sure you keep an eye on your clamps, it's easy when you're starting to make a mistake and run a bit into one which can wreck the piece, bit, and even spindle. 

Glad to colab. 

 @981de366 good to know. Thanks a lot. This is helpful
