Thanks for the quick reply Brady, great information. For some reason I thought that these machines had gear reducers on the steppers, not sure where I got that from.
Luckily it's a router so that...

Hoping some of you knowledgeable Buddy owners can help me out. I've found a 2010 PRS Buddy 48 locally with very low hours (owner says 5!). It comes with Partworks 2.5 on disc and 3.5 on the computer....
I'm hoping you folks can identify this machine. PRS Alpha or Standard and does it look like it has an control upgrades? Running a Desktop right now but this full size machine looks tempting if It has...
Haha that stone wall quote is great and I'll be sure to check over the boards. Brand new set of blades on the planer and I'd like to keep them that way for a bit.
I'll definitely get a piece this week and do a quick test. Look forward to see what you make from your piece!
Thanks for the tip, I sent a few emails to some boat builders around NY State and...
Good advice, I did see the turning blanks on eBay but it does seem like a pretty rare wood to work with. I'm interested to see what it looks like under the weathered exterior so I'll grab a beam...
Well they gave me a deal I couldn't pass up so I have 98 of these beams to pick up this week. Here's my wife with half of them. They said they were decking for a covered bridge and when they went to...
Thank you both for the your experience and the links. I'm going to run down tomorrow and get a few beams. Not sure I can handle all 98 but it may be worth investing into a good bandsaw to resaw it...
I was hoping somebody on here may be familiar with Black Locust as I've yet to use any in my woodworking.
I received a call today from a local salvage company I buy from a lot. Asked me if I...
Very nice Scott. I've got to find some time to try these. That sugar maple is my favorite wood to carve, it holds the details so well.
Made it home safely. Thanks again for the machine and taking the time to share some knowledge with me. My family and I had a great weekend in NYC and NJ!
Nothing against the city folks but us Western NYers are like this. He was only 45 mins from my stomping grounds so if he ever is out this way again I'll make sure he never eats alone. He sounds like...
I just finished up a sign last week for a wedding done on some 125 year old red pine barnwood. I was planning on VCarving but at the last minute decided to cut a template with the CNC and paint. I...
Sent you a PM
Im interested to see what the actual sign makers say on this one. If your doing a black sign with white lettering King ColorCore may work well for you. I have some on the way for testing as a...
What's the min radius your able to achieve with this design? Great price so I'm pretty interested.
Thanks for the update Aubrey, looks like I need to give Shopbot a call and ask when we can get in line for this. As nice as it would be to have a machine now with the support I've seen by Shopbot and...
Any update on this larger desktop? This would fit exactly what I need and solve the Desktop/Buddy dilemma I'm having.
Love to put a down payment and get in line for this if its a couple of months...
Very impressive!
I had to show my wife to further convince her what is possible with some imagination and a shopbot. Great job and thanks for sharing.
Another option that may work well would be a hinged case. This would allow you to simply place the filter on the screen and then clamp the case closed with it in place.
You would have the ability...
Gene,
The horn rattles are bull horn as I just don't feel right getting buffalo after they were hunted out. It is made by a craftsman on my reservation in Canada. If your interested in making some...
I wondered if anyone had attempted a native flute on a shopbot before. I am an enrolled member of the Mohawk tribe of Akwesasne and one of the main reasons I've looked at a shopbot is to do modern...
