Today I got distracted by some videos and plans for making a super efficient wood burning stove called the Walker Stove: http://walkerstoves.com/index.html
As I got more into this guys videos I found some posts he did about setting up his Maslow CNC… how cool is that?! I’m betting he’s on these forums but I cannot, for the life of me, find him on here (his name is Matt).
Anyway, I am curious if Maslow can cut the ceramic fiber board he uses. If so, I wonder if cut paths could be created to make construction of these stoves could be made.
can you cut this fiber board with a handheld router? If so, you can cut it with
a maslow
Given that you can get bits to cut just about anything (if you are willing to
pay enough), the answer is probably yes. But I don’t know what bits and feed
rates would be appropriate.
agreed. Anything on the router should be approached with caution. Even dust from MDF or plywood could be problematic.
But I would feel a lot better about cutting on Maslow, where I’m a healthy distance away from the cutting blade/bit, instead of on a table saw or jigsaw, where I’m right next to the fiber board.
Ok @Rancher, since I have your ear I’m curious: why does Popular Mechanics have this picture as a Walker Stove but I cannot find that design on WalkerStoves.com?
(see stove design number 12)
I don’t want to start an argument (I’m neutral, owning a wood gulping smoke belching dragon, but there’s several heated discussion about rocket stoves on hearth.com . If you want to use one in an insured building you’d better have a chat with your insurance agent since it’s lacking one of those tlo certifications. The insurance thing applies to any non-“approved” stove, and (like my carrier) any woodstove of any type with some companies.
Maslow made my last few cores.
