I just checked my upgrade on the Vectric portal and it is $500, not $175 like I have been paying for upgrades in the past. I'm really disappointed!

Has there been any update on this?

Bill Young's post "Info on upgrading VCarvePro ShopBot Edition to VCarvePro v10" was on September 14.

Thanks,

Thanks for posting the link! It looks like something that would be fun to play with.

Has ShopBot ever released the VCarve Pro v9 upgrade?

If yes then I am curious if those who purchased it feel that it was worth the cost to upgrade from v8.5.

Thanks,
Steve

I have a ShopBot Desktop and it is 24" in the X direction and 18" in the Y. You can tile jobs in the Y direction so the limit you mentioned is 24" not 18".

I like the design and materials. I live in Southern California as well. Could you provide more details on the wood you used?

Thanks,
Steve

Scott, you're amazing! Great job on the key chains. Your buyer should love them.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely start looking at the part file for a better line to go to where the cutter is at the right x, y position and z is above the material.

I'm anxiously waiting for you to post the video. I just went through node editing hell reshaping a font so that my .125 bit would cut it correctly.

I totally agree with your PITA assessment. I've accidentally bumped into the switch and turned my bot off more than once.

Excellent idea! Thank you very much!

I just wanted to let you know how great the ShopBot Tech Support and this forum are. I had an issue with my Desktop yesterday, Memorial day. I emailed ShopBot Tech Support and got a response within...

I actually have 3 VCarve files. One is used to plane the wood just enough to flatten the top. It uses z-zero from the top of the wood. The VCarve file to thickness the wood to .7 uses z-zero from the...

I'm trying to cut a pocket in some cherry and for some reason the z-zero is changing on me. Here is what I'm doing:

I'm still struggling with determining feeds and speeds for new cutters that I purchase. In the past I've run into trouble by specifying a feed rate that my machine is capable of, but due to the short...

No, in fact I'm still getting them occasionally when cutting something with a lot of small movements. Luckily I know how to recover now. I just need to plan for it and make sure that I don't carve...

I discovered the source of a communication problem between my computer and my ShopBot Desktop that is related to electromagnetic interference (EMI). It's something that I never really thought about. ...

Scott,

How can you tell if a collet / nut is bad? Do you measure something, keep track of the number of hours of use or something else?

Thanks,
Steve

It's here!!!

I just got my email from Diane with the serial number for the ShopBot edition of VCarve Pro v8. I can't wait to try it out.

Hi Kyle,

It's great to see Kids taking an interest in making physical rather than virtual objects. It looks like you are doing a great job inspiring and teaching them!

I sent an email to Vectric yesterday inquiring about the availability of the ShopBot version VCarve Pro v8. Here is their reply:

We are still working...
