I'm currently putting the finishing touches on the captured -frame hollowing rig I designed and built. It's an adaptation of the Jamieson-style rigs.
I'm getting kind of a lot of vibration at the laser with certain cuts, and am looking to reduce that condition. My holder boom is made from 1/2" EMT (5/8"ID thinwall) that has been filled with 1-part urethane foam.
For anyone who uses this kind of set up, I'd like to know
1. If you've tried to use a counterweight at the opposite end of the boom to balance the holder,
2. If so, whether it helps the vibration, and
3. If so, how much weight you used?
Thanks
