Thanks Gary. I will. I may get a video from you as well if you still have some. Might be helpful. I still have questions.
I don't have a drill just a single 4hp spindle. Do I still have to have a offset? I didn't know about the header. That's probably the problem. Tool number are set 1,2,3 etc
Well, I made the changes that Gary recommended and change the MTC code like the pdf said. I fixed a location off material to zero tool to spoil bed. I ran the first part on some scrap material. ...
Sorry Gary. Should have read the PDF before responding. Just excited to have some help I guess.
Thank you so much Gary for responding. Is there a setting that I need to do or does it automatically assume I'm measuring from the spoil board. I did a couple of air cuts today but measured from top...
Another question? Where does it store the cut file that the link produces? If I nest 30 sheets and only cut 10 that day where is the other 20 located? Can I restart the following day at sheet 11?
Ok got hold of David at shopbot and he helped alot. Thanks David. I had upgraded to the new version of the control software and it wiped all of my settings and thought the machine had a ATC. We...
Ok, I've got my elink and its installed and I've went thru the settings and tooling. How do I set up the MTC ? I called shopbot but nobody was there that could help me. Ryan and Gary are gone. ...
I ordered my link this morning from thermwood. Stupid question: I was reading the manual on the link but either skipped over it or it doesn't say. I'm assuming this will install on my control...
Thank you that was what I was hoping for. Yeah, I've been using ecabs for a very long time. I used it when is was in beta form. I've had it since it first came out and have used it everyday since...
Another question about the link. If someone can answer it. How do you handle tool changes? Does the link output a file for each tool, or does it do one big file with a pause for a tool change and...
A little background before I get to my questions. I started building cabinets in 1998. In 2002 I bought a thermwood cnc router cs40 and run ecabinets. Had the thermwood until around 5 years ago...
Thanks for info brady. I went to their website and their dealer locator and was suprised to see a local distributor within 45 miles. So I called and got a quote. I wanted to match the y chain I...
Well. I kind of wanted a smaller radius chain than what they use. I would love to have the brackets and stuff sure. It's really not a bad price at all but my configuration is a little different. Plus...
I think I put this post in the wrong place sorry. Don't know how to move it.
OMG, I sure hope my 6 year old son doesn't see this. I'll be in deep trouble. I think this is the best project I've ever seen. That is simply amazing. AWESOME!!
I made the mistake of showing him...
Anybody know of a online supplier for the kabelschlepp energy chain. Other than kabelschlepp or grainger or shopbot. Grainger doesn't have the chain that matches the y chain. Part number is a...
Thanks for the kind words. The school sign is a total of 4 layers of 1-1/2 sign foam. I used artcam for the reliefs.
Here is a few more.
Here is a few more signs that I've done over the last couple of years.
It's 15lb density and I used gorilla glue for gluing to backer board. Cutting time for the sign was around 10-12 hours and the eagle was 4 hours.
That is some awesome stuff right there. Very interesting project.
I don't post much on the forum, don't really have the time but this morning I was reading about some hdu stuff on here and thought I would post and show some of my sign work. This is a hdu sign that...
There is some good advice here. I have a indexer and I have used it maybe 8-10 times in 5 years. But I do cut 40-60 sheets of plywood a week building commerical and residental cabinetry,...
We span 4 x 8 between posts all the time without any issues or extra bracing. If it is a 3d sign we use 1-1/2 HDU glue to a 1/2" sheet of MDO Plywood (douglas fir). If its a 2d sign we use 3/4 MDO...
