Success and not success

 Last post omscaler related how he had tested the Scan-n-Cut with some satisfactory results. More testing was done involving a transfer of a graphic file from the computer by USB drive and by print out from a printer. Both results were less than satisfactory. A further test was done using a manual method employing a cutting guide which had been built some months ago. Without using an actual clock we are “guesstimating” that time for either method is somewhat close. What this means is that if omscaler cannot learn how to speed up the machine process the usefulness of the machine is lessened. Oh well. We are used to these kind of challenges here on The Very Small Railroad. There is another project that could be handled by the cutting machine. But that is a story for another time. The hotel project still needs the back wall and the roof as well as exterior components but progress is moving along more normally. Your earnest worker, omscaler
