inkjet or color laser printer transfer?

I had my site on a wordpress template, hosted on a friends server. I was paying a small amt of $ for it yearly but it was too difficult to manage.

Is that the "roughing" step prior to doing the full taper? For me, the combo of decent vacuum plus a spiral 2 flute downcut bit, like a Whiteside RD2100, works really well :). My bigger issue is skinning the deck and getting it so flat that both sides of core are within tolerance. My vac t...
