Carl,
I do my turnings pretty much the way Brady has said.
In fact I think it was Brady that gave me the idea.
I have found that I can cut out some steps along the way.
Would be glad to help if...

Jack,
Did you get your turning done.

Michael M

Jack,
Hope all goes well.
Sorry for making it so confusing.

Michael

Indexer Tool then tools then settings then pick direction.

Got to quit typing before thinking.

Jack,

To set the Indexer to run along x axis open Indexer tool then click on tools and
it gives you the option to pick x or y.

Jack,

I do always start at -.25 if I can. Keeps from diving right into turning.


Michael Mason

Jack,
I am so sorry I was just getting ready to correct what I said but you saw it first.
That is what I get for doing something on the fly.

Jack

I have put picture with some instruction on it for turning.
I hope this will help. I use the Indexer tool for all my turnings.

Peter,
The customer bought burn in setup for the logos.
We had two setups for his logos and then changed out one of his for ours to do the head of the bat.

Michael

I got mine by doing what Brady said and came up with 40. I would still put the tape on to try this though.

They are promo bats. A local company ordered a 1000 of them for there customers.

170 bats and Indexer is doing fine. Brady W. you are right though I should have a lathe in place of the Indexer. I bought one but couldn't get speed slow enough for good turning. I have 3 phase in my...

Well replaced Indexer motor and backup and going. I took the motor off the gear box and nothing but metal shavings inside. After putting new stepper motor in
I read the wiki setup and found I have...

Check the ground also. That was my problem. It needs a really good ground.

Well after much testing I have new stepper motor on the way.
Looks like you were right Jack.
Thanks to Frank from Shopbot for all his help.

Gerald I know alot of people are scared of the indexer...

Thanks Gerald and Jack.
I will also put this under the Indexer section

I have a prt indexer. My shopbot is a prt upgraded to 4g board.
My indexer from time to time will just stop during job but software will show it running. I have slowed speed down and fixed it only...

Here is a pic. Also when the indexer isn't moving you can't turn it.
Thanks for any help.

In our small furniture shop we have used Cherry , Walnut, and Oak dust mixed with Duco Cement. It works great and lets the spot age with the wood. I have been hear over 30 years and it is the best I...
