He he, Joey, you had me laughing there 
I can do doors, but then not to big ones. Must be for pool players shorter then
175 cm
I have been studying the topic for over a year and my conclusion was that custom Q machines where to expensive for what they can do - just Qs. So with this I can cut out loudspeakers and other fun stuff if I get bored of Qs. My wife could make molds and all the bells and whistles.
All flies in on bang.
PM if you are interested and I'll give you the details.

Have until now not made anything else then dust with it but I'll get there, I'll get there :smile:
For you who are in the US, here is a man who sells the machines and is spot on in respect of knowledge and help:

you need the bit on the side of the dowel its up too highNewton said:The result show a fairly "hairy" pice of crap wood, but as a first try I'm happy.
Some minor adjustments need to be done and then KJ's "sawblade" setup would be tested. That would however Edit: BE in a couple of months time

use a 3/4" router bit and center it height wise (z axis)
you can get baby smooth finish
Thank's Lee.
I noticed that I had not set the Z axis at the correct height when I did this shot with flash. I was afraid to damage my dust shoe so I was a little careful at first run. A new dust shoe has been made only for lathe operation and hopefully it would work. It has been glued and has now cured over night. I'll drop a pic of it later, even though I would not be able to test it out today.
For those of you who knows you're CNC you will also notice another fault Well, maybe not to obvious but the spinning axis was a little of center at the tail stock which gave me a error in diameter of 0.7mm.
The accuracy picture show that the head and tail stock lines up but there is a minor play horizontally which I need to keep in mind when I lock the headstock.
The fix is simple, just lock the headstock when I have my hand pressing it to the right and it should be dead nuts next time.
