The titanal is that length mostly for practical reasons and I tried to get a size that would accommodate as many uses as possible. The titanal is phosphoric acid anodized for bonding and it is only available in lengths up to 8m. It would have been nice to be able to get it in uncut roll. Shipping is...

Sorry for the site performance. Our host company is getting worse and worse and they do not seem to be able to do anything about it. We are going to switch hosts and hopefully have a whole new website as well. However, we have all been crazy busy lately and haven't had as much time as we would like ...

anti divorce skis
My future wife has been asking for a snowboard for the longest time. Well, she's going to have to wait a little longer. :D Instead, she gets a pair of skis (which she wanted also). I really liked the wood veneer that Lucacasty used in his leaf skis and I was able to find some similar stuff. Thanks! ...

vacuum hold down
Here is another method for creating a vacuum hold down for jigs. I did this for a CNC table, but it could probably be adapted for other uses. I can't take credit for this; I got the idea from someone on the Shopbot forums. The trick is to use ultralight MDF, found at most specialty lumber suppliers....

The control cycle time is the time it takes for one On/Off cycle. The amount of time On is proportional (P in PID) to the power needed. So if the controller determines that you need 60% power with a cycle time of 20sec, then it will turn on the heater for 12 sec and off for 8 sec. Faster cycle times...

Did you get a voltage output or relay output? If you got the voltage output, there really shouldn't be any clicking since every thing should be solid state. There might be some alarm relays that may be clicking. Auto-tune is usually fine. Since you are using SSRs, then you can decrease the control c...
