Did you figure out what you needed Mike? I'm looking into upgrading to a spindle on my 2007 PRS Standard and wondering the same things.

I posted the question about previewing Head 2/ AUX Z part files in ShopBot three years ago, 490 views but no replies.

With that many views, it doesn't seem that I'm the only one with this issue?...

Hey Scott - Yes, as you see I've been using the ST command a lot, now that I've learned what it can do for me.

One of the reasons your position program was misbehaving for me is that I was using...

Gary - Thanks for sharing that. I'll study on it. Sounds like you have a custom "my variables" variation you're using?

UPDATE: As I was playing with my Zzero file, I noticed the commands for ...

I also have a need for this kind of file, but don't have many programming chops.

I'm using a variation on Scott Worden's program/custom cut file to move my machine to various jigs on the table....

Dave,
I did just go and tighten everything I could find related to grounding and voila! The part file runs!
Thanks...
David

I ran about a half hour routine that calls up many cut files and it ran fine once. [This is a routine I've run dozens of times in the past.]
Then when I tried to run it again, it quit part way...

For what it's worth I just ran across this article about IP cameras getting hacked.

Has anyone used the Foscam pan tilt night vision cameras? I see Amazon has one for $75, and it has four and a half stars from over a 1000 reviews. The software that comes with it allows access from...

I'm interested in the various ways folks have devised to monitor their BOTs when they're engaged in long jobs?

Mine is in a separate room that keeps the dust and noise down, but I can still hear...

Scott - That's what I love about this forum. I can't even count the number of solutions to problems folks have inspired here for me.

Your 3D signs look awesome by the way.

I was thinking I maybe should have put this A to Z dust switch post in this area on Bot modifications instead of in "Show & Tell."

It's a mechanical switch using a lever and a spring to change...

Hey Roney- So far the small diameter crevasse tool flu is working for me, but I don't generate many large fragments which might prove a problem. I'm I-phone clueless... my simple cell phone is...

Thanks Russ and Dana... Dana, I heard someone say you're doing some interesting things with guitar necks? Is that right?

Made some new Dust Boots for my PRS standard and finally worked out how to switch from the Primary Router to the Aux. Router. I was inspired by Gary Campell, but went the Rube Goldberg meets...

Dave,
Thanks for the added info. It looks like Gene Jaeger and myself [of Unicorn Strings and Precision Dulcimers] will be coming - getting into the area late Fri. night. We're looking forward to...

I'm having some issues trying to get files created in PartWorks using any of the "head 2" Post Processors to preview properly in the ShopBot control software.

I did find that editing a head 2 PP...

Hey Dave,
What time will the camp start Sat. morning?
I have a commitment in Mt. Dora Friday eve. but I'm trying to work it out to get down there.
Thanks,

Hey Bill,
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
Thanks for that solution. It did the trick.
The PP that came with my PartWorks 3 was missing that "END" for some reason, the ones with the ShopBot...

Hey Scott,
Thanks for your reply. I am using "inch" post processors - I don't even have mm PPs in my active folder. The version of my Partworks is the latest 3.503, and my Shopbot Control...

I'm new to Partworks, but for some reason when I run a sbp file generated by partworks, output for AUX axis, I get this:

"The file you are running is written for use in metric mode.
Currently...

Is there any chance that being more precise and methodical with the photo capture process might generate higher rez results? The DavidLaser3D software requires a lot more setup for their results. ...

All these links are dead.
Does this program still exist?
Thanks
David

Bill,
I was playing with the Extruder recently to see about making radiused fingerboards and one of those big shallow sanding dishes for guitar making.
Since it uses an input of a .sbp part...
