I'm still trying to use up all the post holes that I got from him RIP Joe

Nodes that bad would be easily seen without going into node editing. "1/8" ball nose - final pass" Was this final pass a 3D toolpath?

Russ, you are right on the money. Files without smooth curves makes for a pretty ragged looking carving. I always take any imported projects and go...

"Normally" - don't you just love that word. . . . in my limited experience this is caused because the imported image came from a DXF file and not a...

Rocco, Lots of stuff on the Vectric Forum to reduce "Jaggies"...here's just one thread;...

Rest peacefully Joe. I loved your posts. I never had the privilege of meeting you in person, but learned a lot from you.

I was thinking of Joe a couple days ago- I think he was 70yo in 2010 so just a bit older than I- see ya soon Joe.

Godspeed Joe. You were the best "crusty old fart" I ever met!

When a familiar face is gone forever, we're reminded of just how mortal we all are.

Joe was a font of knowledge and was generous in sharing it. I was thinking about him a few months ago and wondering how he was. RIP

So sorry to hear...I had asked him several questions back in 2008-09 when I was getting started...I chuckle now, but at the time thought I was...

RIP Joe, I really learned a lot from your threads! Thanks!! scott

He always had interesting lessons at the Austin “Camp ShopBot”. His “rootin tootin” Rubber cement paint mask worked! SG

Really hate to hear that, I learned so much from Joe! RIP

RIP Joe "Norman Sign Co."

Joe, rest in peace..... I will miss you:(

I'm not going to get into the middle of this discussion, but as a moderator I want to comment about posts and if/when they are deleted. We have...

I've been saying this forever, and I kept getting slapped around. Now, people are starting to open their eyes. What happened to what's his name?...

I don't know if they ever will. For some reason, as a group the majority was always against any kind of controller improvements, wanting to stay...

This ShopBot was already sold and delivered. Thank you, Doug

I wonder if they've had their "Kodak" (or Xerox) moment yet.

1. The biggest advances are not getting the dreaded "Lost Comms" in the middle of a 6 hour cutting job and you have to start over. 2. Much higher...

Can you say "Control system"? The current SB offering looks like (and is) a throwback to 2000 Visual Basic. The SB machine code is non-standard...

I'm curious about the innovations that people are referring to for CNC machines from other manufacturers. Admittedly I am out of touch with the...

Shopbot is on the path towards eventual dissolution. They stopped innovating years ago and now are essentially eating their seed corn. Unless Shopbot...

I had 3 shopbot's over the years and started repairing and selling machines. I'm glad I bought the first bot, but there is just a lot more (bang for...

I cut my teeth on a Shopbot machine...going to an event at headquarters in 2007. I purchased a 48x96 PRT in 2008 and used it part-time for years. I...
