Any reason to not just connect a separate computer to http://onefinity.local
She can see the current cut plan image as well as the stats displayed on the controller monitor.
I actually have a separate rpi connected to a monitor in my shop just for seeing progress while doing other things.
That’s great, I’ll do just that.

I like the idea of a larger screen. I have a 21" ACER LCD and a USB keyboard/mouse combo. I also have a multi-USB port to attach to the controller. Will that work in place of larger touch monitor?
Your configuration should work. I almost went down that path but elected to stay with the touch screen. I do connect to my machine remotely where I use the keyboard and mouse so it’s the best of both worlds.

Can I ask how wide are the MDF spoil board slates on your table?
@Ken - I went the same route with the ASUS VT168H. I’ve got a spare Logitech K410 wireless keyboard if I need to input more info.
Like @Hermsen.BJ asked, is it possible to effectively go “headless” and only connect to http://onefinity.local ?
I realize there are wifi signal concerns, but I’m thinking of just using an old ipad to act as my screen.
Here’s a video on using it “headless”

The two in the center are 8" and the two outside are 7 1/4". I elected to have the larger pieces in the center for greater holding with painters tape and CA glue.
Thank you. I am still trying to decide how many slats I am going to use and see what works best for me.
@AndrewBrown Any time. The height is 36" with the arm (horizontal) at 30." I used standard 1/2" galvanized pipe.
I plan on enclosing the unit at some point but I find with the vacuum running it collects a good portion of the sawdust.

I was between three with the largest in the center but felt with the extra width I gave up more hold downs with the t-track. I also used painters tape and CA glue to hold down the waste board slats. It’s been working very well for the last couple of months.
I’ve seen that technique and will be trying it. I think I will try to marry several types (t-tracks, bench dogs, t-nuts, tape/CA glue). Just starting out and sometimes experimentation leads you to realize, others have done it too, and you should listen to advice, but I like to experiment and learn first hand, if that makes sense.

How did you mount the monitor?
I mounted a 1/2 in copper pipe then build my own mount. I wanted it to share the same space as the light on corner of the table. Essentially, used what I had in the shop. 
Thanks Mike I purchased the 15.6"

I have the same screen/keyboard and 1f joystick, but when I boot up the controller I lose my internet service on my stand alone laptop. I have an extender in my shop with the signal coming from my router in my house.Any idea why ? Thanks if you can help.
There are two things I can’t tell you much about, Windows Networking, and what Women are thinking.
