Really impressed with all of this.
Note: A lot of people may not read this. And a lot of multicam users are used to using screws. Is there any signage?

They will. Just haven’t gotten to that yet. Should be early this week.
What are we awarding to the first person (and second… third) that inevitably screw (see what I did there?) this up?

The official Habits Die Hard Award?
Or encourage them to fund an elbow bending celebration for the members of Multicam SIG who helped with this?

Please take the time to watch!!!
Here is the update on the recent changes to the Multicam. If you are a user, this is a must watch to understand changes to the spoilboards and hold down. https://youtu.be/o-sNPIZbaK8
A second video detailing a couple other alternative hold down options can be found at https://youtu.be/uV3thBJgTx0 .
A huge thank you to Bert for leadership on this important issue!

This is awesome. Should be required watching before the Multicam pendant will operate.
I believe a post can be pinned globally and/or in its section. I suggest globally for a week or so and within the Woodshop section for much longer.

Great job. Thank you for doing all this work to improve the multicam. Very much appreciated.
Still trying to find a way to get the news out to Multicam authorized users who are not Talk participants. To date, only those users trained by Chris Ghaly (@cghaly) have been emailed. Unfortunately, those users will eventually get two of the emails … apologies in advance!
To those who know … please watch for users who don’t and help them out. Remember, it’s your spoilboard, too. Thanks.
Someone suggested this be added to the Wiki … done.

There are two categories and two separate Active Directory groups: those who have taken the class and those who have tested out.
I do not know whether you want to notify the much larger former group who cannot currently use the machine.
Consider contacting Stan to pull a list of authorized users from AD.
Good info. Obviously the approved users are the priority. As for contacting Stan, I have done that twice in person and twice by PM. Apparently he hasn’t had time to do it.

Even with zone 1 down the vacuum hold down performed like a champ this morning. I was able to use the other 5 zones to hold down an 8’ by 44" dining table for the final flattening of the bottom.
I know the dust boot is just a first prototype but even as it is it worked better than any previous version for slab flattening.
Tha is again to Bert and everyone else who has put in countless hours on this project.
