Been a while! I’m glad there are still others building smaller/different frames.
It’s been over a year and I would guess I’ve donee 1,00+ hours of cutting - have not needed to recalibrate and am still using good old GC. Here’s a few things which stick out reading the rest of the above thread.
- Single-flute upcut bits are awesome!
- One of the biggest things I think that have helped me remain accurate is my top bar setup, specifically the way I supported my top bar
- Running at the lowest RPMs, for me 11,000, is wise - it saves your bits
- If your frame is as square as possible, your floor may not be level but just make sure your top bar is always level
Might sound like dumb stuff, but has worked for me.
@Alanc for setup, I found these directions invaluable for the calibration (I use the bolt together frame). I like GC and continue to use it, the way I got it to work was to force my computer to stay on Python version 2.7. This may help you - not sure - I’m not on Windows and the laptop I use is likely 14+ years old.
All in all, still loving my Maslow and eyeing the M2 with a little envy (I’m Bosh 1200 and the springs are starting to go).
Hope this helps someone out there
