The first "real" sheet cutting went *almost* well enough to use, but the sheet skewed a bit and two pieces ran off the edge.





I had to assemble it anyway to see the full scale of it. It looks big, but that may be because it is in the house. I'll take it outside tomorrow an see it in relation to my car.



I have to solve a cotton candy problem -- the relatively deep cuts bung up the bit when they don't line up, so I think I need to rig up an air nozzle to cool the bit and move out the shreds. I also need to get it cutting faster -- I had to slow it down to 25" per minute, so this took about 2 hours to finish. I was blowing it with my air brush, but I need a proper nozzle and a larger compressor.
