Loose pinion? Worn pinion? Rack...
[QUOTE=steve_g;207063]Vectric products work with ShopBots as well as ever! HOWEVER, there is no longer a ShopBot OEM version. The deeply discounted SB version would only work with SB products and...
I just moved to a new shop and treated myself to an Ivac automatic blast gate setup. Works well and totally automates the dust collection operation.
Ivac sells a really nice grounding kit. Easy...

I got the following PM and thought I would post it because some of this is widely misunderstood
I'm intrigued with your conversion. It caused me to study up on the Centroid system. A couple of...
Really simple and easy. The Shopbot came with three boards that plug in to one another to do the work. Motor drivers are screwed to the back piece of aluminum channel. That all removes as one unit...

I took advantage of an offer a couple of years back and upgraded to Aspire. You are just going to have to figure that there will be an expense of $400 to $500 every 18 months or so for the new and...
