Recently I upgraded my PRT alpha with a 2.2 HSD spindle. Fantastic upgrade!! Since then I have had several communication failures resulting in a software crash. I re secured some wires, problem...
Does anyone know where I can get wiring instructions to wire a 2.2 HSD spindle? My kit, purchased from ShopBot, only included a wiring diagram for a PRS. I’ve asked tech support on three occasions...
Update. Finally had time to call ShopBot. There was indeed, an accounting error in the price of my kit by $320 +/- They are issuing a refund asap. Btw, I looked up each part and the sum total...
Hello folks, I just bought a spindle to upgrade my 2004 PRT Alpha 4896 and the parts came in last Friday. I’m a bit puzzled at one of the kits I was told to purchase. I’ll post a pic below. It...
http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=33252&stc=1 Okay, See the little arch at the top? The stop molding will be 3/4" thick X about 1 3/8" wide with the miter machined in to...
I'll be cutting 12/4 Sapele for this job. I had not thought about using a climb cut, but I did figure I needed at least a 3/8 bit for the main cutting operation. My main concern is that I will need...
I’m getting tooled up for a huge entry door project and I need a bit that will produce a very clean edge cut. I typically make cabinets using a 1/4” compression bit and it leaves a small raised line...
Thanks Brady, I sent you an email with 2 or 3 files. Thanks again for your help!
Good evening folks,
I just purchased the new Carveco software, then I realized that my Artcam version (2012 SP2) does not meet the criteria for conversion to be opened by carveco. I later...
Any idea if the introductory offer is still in effect?
KCD Software. Not cheap but excellent, free support. I’ve had KCD since 1998 and Shopbot since 2004. They work fantastic together
I’ve used the Milwaukee router for the better part of 14 years with my PRT Alpha. The problem I’ve always had is not with the bearings, but the electronic speed control which is quite expensive to...
I already own VCP. My question is, does it nest and toolpath template similarly to that of artcam insignia? As mentioned before, I have not had an opportunity to use VCP at all since purchasing due...
I'm a loyal and very long time KCD user. The same things that dew me to shopBot, drew me to KCD way back in 1998! Great service and a great product! Those of you who use KCD along with Vcarve or...
I am using Artcam insigia 2012. 99% of my work is strictly residential cabinetry. I occasionally do a little carving but not nearly what I would like. Since my work relies heavily on the nesting and...
Hi folks, I got a message from artcam yesterday stating that as of 7 Feb 2028, Artcsm is no longer available. After my troubled past with this company, I had refused to purchase anymore upgrades...
14 years with Shopbot. There might be others just as good, although I doubt it, but there is certainly none better. Like others have said, I could call tomorrow and they would treat me just like I...
Thanks guys. As I mentioned earlier, I'm mainly a cabinet guy who would love to do more of this type stuff. Given my limited experience, I will probably take an all inclusive approach to drawing this...
Importing the scanned document and running the "bitmap to vector" operation proved to be futile. The is way too much "garbage" on the scan to be useful in my opinion. There is too much detail to...
Forgive my ignorance, but when you say "manual trace", does that mean dragging the mouse around the outline? After this, do you then go around and smooth it all out so to speak?
What is the best way to turn a scanned blueprint into a machinable vector? I have Insignia 2012 and the latest version of vcarve pro.
I have been trying to get the drawing to upload so you guys...
I got everything all switched over much easier than I had imagined. Gary, what is the cost and what is the deadline to upgrade? Justin, I've had kcd since 1998, ShopBot since 2004. I have never had...
This is for a new gazebo, purely decoration. I'm sure the builder will check on any pertanant codes
Thanks! That's kind of what I figured. I hope I can get everything I need since I did not accept the new licensing terms.
I've been asked to make some Gothic window panes for a large cupola and I am wondering if extira would be a good product to use. Basically it will be a carved MDF cabinet door, 24" wide X 36" tall. I...
