I don’t see a way to edit the original post, but I am dropping my asking price to $10k. If you’re interested, please text me at the number above. Thanks.

I have a 2006 Shopbot with a 4x8 bed that served me well when I was an independent cabinet maker, but my career took a different path two years ago and it is finally time for me to pass it on to...

Wow, I had no idea! <insert some adage about not knowing what you do not know>
Thanks everyone! I’m now converted to the ways of spindle warning. ;)

As with most of us here, I’m a self taught shopbot user. I’ve been at it for about 9 months now. Today I just noticed that the shopbot software comes with a “Spindle Warmup Routine” in the custom...

Theoretically if you sandwiched the book between two boards and screwed/clamped them together really tight then it shouldn’t be too hard to cut all the way through it like that, you just have to cut...

Yeah I used Sawstops a bunch back when I was working at Fetzer Archtiectural Woodwork- can’t recommend them enough. I never triggered the sawstop myself, but you should definitely have a back up...

I picked up my shopbot earlier this year, and then added ecabinets and the SBlink a few months later, all expressly for the purpose of building cabinets. I’ve used them both for other things, but...

Let me know if it works for you. I was able to eventually figure out how to get a line of code inserted into the MTC file that will automatically change the &tool variable if it's blank. If you need...

Thank you for the replies! I forgot to come back and update this thread the other day.

A couple hours after I posted this I figured out that by manually setting &tool variable to 1 all of my major...

I should mention some of the issues that I am running into. Specifically, when I try to run C9 it comes up with an error that says "**WRONG TOOL NUMBER**"

I can't figure out why and the other...

Hey everyone, still relatively new shopbot user here. I just barely invested in the shopbot link for ecabinets and now I'm realizing that I need to get my manual tool changing processes correctly....

I was unable to find the sink or any other display items in the hardware (eventually I gave up and just deleted them from the job), but I was able to get the lazy Susans and other specialty hardware...

Thank you, I will do that.

New eCab user here- trying to learn and figure everything out.

I'm currently designing a kitchen and getting ready to bid it, but while working out all the costs I noticed that I had some...

Thanks, that's good advice.

And I bought my CNC used, so no, I don't have any of those programs yet. I plan on getting VCP as soon as the budget allows for it though. In the meantime at least...

UPDATE: So after posting this I decided to go back and try out ALL the DXF formats that Draftsight uses. It turns out that the following formats DO work for me:
R14 ASCII Drawing (*dxf)
R13 ASCII...

(EDIT: Apologies for the typo in the title. I know it's "Draftsight" not "Draftsite", but now that its posted the forum won't me edit the title)

Again, new shopbotter here, starting a different...

Hello all, new shopbotter here. I've been teaching myself how to use it over the past few weeks and I have a bunch of questions, mostly about the software.

I downloaded the Cabinet Parts Pro free...
