You folks are rocking some awesome projects. I recently purchased an X-carve but have yet to get it cutting. Any advice as to table set up/features that you wish you had done from the start??

add some lights and room to run a hose for desk collection
I am at work so I am not sure if the pics are working - Also mmoses if I am imposing on your post please let me know
I did a clock for a friend at work who is getting ready to have their first baby boy. Used the clock parts at Hobby Lobby and a Pine round at Home Depot. I also tested out my Frued keyhole bit. I will be honest - I was a bit “scared” if you want to use that word. I was using some bits and techniques I had not used before and did not want to mess up and start over.
I started with some test cuts for the motor and the key hole. Got it right on the 4th try
Here I used 3 blocks to make sure my center did not move and mark on the bottom to make sure I referenced the same spot when I flipped it over for face carve.
This the motor pocket and the key hole
I used a 1/8 bit for roughing and waste removal and a 90* bit for detail
