Maximum cutting width is 27" and it is able to accept 2" thick material and cut 1 3/4 depth.  **^bana0  As it sits it will cut/engrave PVC,  foam, cardboard, and light woods.  Adding a router attachment, then you could do some heavy stuff. I don't think metal is out of the question, but hasn't been tried yet. this thing is a whole another hobby in it self. The hardest problem for me is doing the cad work and designing. one of the newest features is  sharpie graphics

restored heater boxes

Franks Heaterboxes? What did you do to restore them?

The VWs you can sleep in are more gooder

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, The kind that can count and the kind that can't.

basic cleaning and repainting.They have a couple of holes but are really not in bad shape. T3 heater boxes are NLA and his should still work good.

oh and my daughter took her camera back, so I dont have any pics. Besides, the boxes are back on the motor. Burnt my finger prints off. I have to solder the wire back onto the head temp sensor, and in my hurry to hold the sensor, the wire and the solder, i reached for the iron and grabbed the business end of it.

Drove the bug over to the gas station, put gas in tank.
On the drive home the right rear locked up and would
not release after stopping at a stop sign  &(rage_ 

Crawled around the corner and waited  ?/banghea?/ ?/banghea?/ ?/banghea?/ 

After a long wait ( 5 min ) the brake released   (Taz+)  and i drove home
very slowly  gimpygif 

Talked to my VW buddies and was told to replace the rear brake lines, something
is plugged.  Went over to VW parts place and bought all new lines from the rear T
to the wheels.  Will get under the Bug tomorrow, it's jacked up in the garage.   &rant(( &rant(( &rant((
