The Core House is retooling.  It's been over 30 years since I built the core CNC cutter.  It's time to build a new one that will do everything- cut the blanks, cut the wings, hold better alignment, digital readouts and zeroing, modern software, it's about time.  I'll keep you posted!

ray copeland:
Awesome, you go Phil !!

phil c:
I did add a couple of cheap DRO scales from iGuaging(seem to be the most reliable).  Less than $45 for two.  When I built the machine a single DRO cost over $1000.  The scales make checking the zero a snap.

Dane Martin:
Good to hear phil! I still fly one of the two f2d planes you sent me. I totaled one out in Texas. The other has been through a few matches. Now just for practice as there's only one.

Tim Wescott:
Wow.  I thought you did it by hand, with templates & stuff.

Pictures!  Old and new!  I think you can buy cutters off the shelf these days, but that would be expensive and boring.

I assume you know more than I do about the openly available open-source CNC software for PC's, and all the various adapters to make it all work with modern hardware.  I did a web search not long ago and found that one of the more popular ones has been spun off into a set that was specific for foam cutting.
