Any suggestions on how to go about locating edges when working with wood on gantry CNCs? I'm used to using traditional edge finders in mills (the kind where a ground cylinder has a spring loaded tip that offsets when it is directly over the edge), problem is, these are only good for about 1000 rpm and the minimum spindle speed on the machine I'm working with is 9000 rpm. I thought maybe I could use one of those electronic touch edge finders, but have learned they need to touch conductive metal to set off the alarm. They also seem to require 3/4 inch collets, the max size for the machine I'm using is 1/2 inch. Any ideas how to find the edge of wood stock? I saw one where it depresses a plunger on the surface and you jog the machine over until the plunger pops out, but if I'm using something like MDF it seems like this method might be a problem with the edge of the MDF being a bit soft so it could lead to some inaccuracy as it could potentially scratch a line down the edge of the MDF.

This is extremely frustrating how trying to change 1 parameter will influence 2 others IE you want to flip the X axis, so you do but it also flips the Z, or it will re-orient the stock and flip the Y so you are chasing a tail trying to get it to do what you want. Why can you not just set the X, Y and Z individually? Every tutorial I've found is ancient and not-applicable anymore due to Autodesks obsession with constantly changing every work procedure they possibly can.

My air compressor doesn't have an aftercooler or air drier setup yet, I keep getting solvent pop no matter what I do, the only thing I can think of as a cause at this moment is wet air, but I see lots of comments about how moisture in the air can't cause bubbles in the paint surface...has anyone ever pin pointed small bubbles in the finish to wet air?
Typically I see solvent pop being caused by too fast or a hardener/reducer for the environment temperature or laying the coat on too thick, I've addressed these issues but still get a ton of solvent pop.

This is making things unwatchable? Anyway to fix this or get a refund?
I have AppleTV.

Class action lawsuit time? What a bunch of nonsense.
