Hi
I updated my control SW to the latest and have noticed that when I go to manually move with the "K" command I cannot get the "Go To" button to do anything. It has a confirming visual queue but...
Quick one - when I have to hit the red stop button - do I automatically loose my x,y & z locations? Do I have to rezero everything?
Thanks
Jim
Nice! I like that too. I might like that better
Looks like you made that - good job! Where do you get the bristles? That looks like the hard part.
Jim
Oh I see, sorry - I just followed Roberts link and didn't see any videos...
Mine is on it's way :D
It looks to me like the Kent shoe would hinder bit change a lot more. Do you have to loosen the pinch bolt every time to get the thing out of the way?
Jim
Thanks Dana. It is definitely built like a little tank - this aluminum table is no joke.
I was poking around and noticed the power stick attachment now is a much wider and sturdier extrusion. I...
Hi
I have a buddy48 that I bought years ago. I just started playing with it when life happened and I had to concentrate on other things (like making sure I stayed employed). So I have been away a...
Just what I was looking for. Thanks Gene for the speedy reply!
I've seen pictures of these small structures (little houses or sheds) that appear to be assembled with sheet material without the use of fasteners. It looks as though the whole thing is done via...
Gordon,
Can you post a picture showing this 1/4" steel deck configuration? I am curious as to what that's all about.
Also, the remedy for the PS motor twisting problem sounds very worthy....
This is an interesting comment by Brady Watson (posted 11/12/08 in Troubleshooting):
"If you screwed the spoilboard down from the top, I gaurantee that you will have problems. The spoilboard...
Bill,
A BIG thank you for coming out to NorCal to do a Camp ShopBot for us!!!
I don't know the criteria for deciding where to hold these camps but rest assured that you have a growing...
Gabe,
That is awesome! Wow, that gets the imagination going...
Jim
This was my solution after playing around with a few different configurations - a big PE foam doughnut held tight up against the stepper holding the DC hose. This works out great for me and the boss...
I like what Bob has done there. Nice.
Does anybody know the correct MSC part number (mscdirect.com) for a rack that would be compatible with the ShopBot racks? Then I'm off and running with this...
Do other ShorBots have more Z travel than a Buddy? Is there any way to increase it?
It happens that after all the spoilboard/t-track/fixture, etc goes down that I have really reduced my working...
A Fein Multimaster would do a great job with this in short order given the appropriate jig or two.

Has anybody cropped the VFD cables successfully? I have a BT48 and these are at least 3-4 times longer than required.
Jim
Hi Henrik,
That's my Yaskawa. I mounted it there. It was just loose flopping around at the end of a ton of wire when I got my buddy.
I was tempted to crop those overly lengthy cables to...
I got the caster kit for my BT48. Does anybody believe that operating the Buddy whilst sitting on it's wheels ( and not necessarily level ) would have any unfortunate ramifications?
I did run...
Hi Dick,
$300.
Now that I have it I can see changes I want to make to it. Also, I am keeping my eyes peeled on ebay for one of the discontinued geared down Makitas - that one should fit in...
Hi Dick,
I designed it and then sent it out to a local machine shop for fabrication. I am brand new to ShopBot and don't feel confident enough to be able to do an aluminum project yet. Bracket...
Hi Bill,
I have the die grinder affixed to the primary Z and I plunge with MZ.
I set this up to create mosaics. These things have thousands of holes. Works great for that.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
FYI - I have the HSD 2.2HP spindle and when I saw somewhere about this topic I sent an inquiry to shopbot support and this was the reply:
