    It doesn’t make sense to buy an aluminum table and insert it into a cheap plywood table. The plywood warps over time and is not durable when running material. It should at least have a layer of laminate on it for strength and durability and ability to slide. It is also hard to get at the router on the larger table. This Bosch top has flaws. First, the table insert uses through bolts and nuts to secure it to the aluminum table…really inconvenient to get the plate in and out. Second, the router plastic inserts are not flush with the plate insert. Material will catch on the three inserts. I had to make 1/16 inch wide shims from a bookmark thickness and glue them to the inserts to get them up to flush. Third, the table slot is not a t slot. Can’t understand why Bosch would do this. At any rate the wood table has to be routed for the slot.

I Just seems like an extremely detailed process that customer support should take care of. But whatta I know. I've wasted so much time with this thing.

    Waiting for one myselg since the entire machine stopped. Used a multimeter on the motherboard and it was still reciving power, but no lights turning on and PC wouldn't detect it.

Do u have spindle chatter, im not talking about the regular run out this chattered so bad i could not get a reading on my run out dial. The 4214t seemed it was very well made. Maybe i got a lemon, I have a 4208 for 4 years. Wen is very good for a low end drill press. Any info about your experience would be great thanks

    • @thatshowwedoit6201
      @thatshowwedoit6201 11 місяців тому

      I haven't had any problems with mine. I have drilled a little aggressively on some hard woods before and it has stopped spinning, but I just turn it off, raise up some and turn it back on and go a little slower, that always solves the problem. But no spindle chatter. I wonder if your spindle isn't seated all the way in, maybe give it another tap or two and see if that fixes it. Or you got a lemon and am exchange will work nicely for you. Sorry to hear you are having problems.

    good looking work mate. I cant be sure from the angle of the camera, but the cut looks as if you used the grinding disc to cut with. cleanup will be a shit load easier if you use a cutting disc. I have been using a wire brush attachment on my cordless angle grinder to clean off the burnt side and it works great giving a slightly burnished look to the charcoal.

    • @thatshowwedoit6201

      I have used an angle grinder before, you have to be very careful not to over do it or it will really mark up the staves. I haven't had that problem with the drill brush and it takes about the same time. I think a stripper would be best, but I can't justify the cost to just use it on these. Maybe if I was refinishing furniture.

    Great video, but the music should be in the background rather than the fore ground, overpowering your presentation.

    Whoever told you to play music while you're talking is an idiot. I started watching this and quit after about a minute.

    I'm not sure I'd trust just twisting the wires together unless your heat shrink is the type that has a sealant inside of it. I'm still waiting on my drag chain setup to get here, and expect I'll need to do something similar to extend the wiring.

      I haven't had any problems. But you can always order extended wires from people. I know alivepixelcreates.com/ has some for sale. If you use promo code HowWeDoIt you will get 15% off your purchase. I believe he sells them as a kit, drag chain and wires, but if you contact him he will sell you just the wires.

    I did the same when I added the extension rails. I got off Amazon for 89.00 and it same quality as one you got. I built a riser base, squared it and secured to table. I cut a rabbets in the frame for honeycomb to be flush with frame and it is perfectly at 0/0. I used 3 pieces of 1/8 steel angle to hold honeycomb level and keep it from drooping in center

      Nice! I see now Xtool has started to drop their prices on their Honeycombs since they are coming out on Amazon for so much cheaper.

    Looks like many folks are going to need this video since there obviously must be a bad batch of Motherboards being sold with the D1 Pro kits. I've had 2 10W kits and a 40W kit arrive DOA.

      Thats not good. I had a 20W that just stopped working, it moved just fine, the laser just stopped firing at random times during my projects. It took me a few projects to figure out what was going on. I was thinking my file or settings were messed up since my project had stuff done on it, but things were missing in certain areas.

      @@thatshowwedoit6201 That stinks man. Waiting for the other 40W to arrive from amazon today. Hopefully I get a good one. I have read many posts about peoples boards dying or DOA right from the box. Not feeling very confident with this POS Laser.

    Do you know what items re needed for the d1 pro 40watt laser? The holes are not located on the bar with the laser for that one. Is there another kit for that one? Thanks for the help.

      I'm not sure, however, I do know Alive Pixels does have a 40W option in their drop down menu, so they must have something figured out. If you go to their website, you can send a message, Daniel has been pretty responsive when I have messaged him. I you do buy from him, I did get a discount code that gets you 15% off "HowWeDoIt", feel free to use it and save some $$. Good Luck.
