The DW660 mounts are now cut. After learning a valuable lesson about not having stray pieces of wood near the wheels which bogged down the machine during a pass (not sure how it missed it the first couple of passes) sent my machine off by about an inch. I could not figure out what happened at first as it was under one of the Y MakerSlides. All I could see was that my cut was all wrong and I had a Darth moment… NOOOOOooooooo. Once I stopped the machine and started looking at the goofed up cut, I started thinking that is must have lost it’s count some how. My only reason for even thinking this is was because I had read of something somewhere on this board a while back. So class… lesson here? Reading build logs is very beneficial. Learn from others goofs, even if it is in the midst of your own goof.

So, I reset further down the cutting board, and sent the file again. It took it on like a champ. I was quite pleased with the results too. Tonight I will try to drill the holes and get it mounted.
