Doesn't look like anyone has a solid answer for you. I would tell you that those machines were set up with PC 3.25HP routers, which are roughly the same weight as a spindle. I have a PRS Alpha,...

Yes. If you are not doing some super secret, proprietary, national or internationally significant project.... the customer has no reason to demand that you can not keep a scrap book of your work! ...

I do not know why your PP is "MTC"... is that necessary? I use SB Arc inch PP even when I am using my indexer. And the 5th axis should NOT be getting any move signal (B axis) unless your machine...

I like the table of cedar(?) tree rings. Great use of the rings! Are you going to take it further or is this its final stage?

fun work Phil!!! DO more!!!

Brian! WOW. That one is a wonderful creation! Your talent is showing! Keep posting, we love your work!

Scott- You do lovely work! And offer up good advice, too. Keep posting! You make me want to do more interesting work!!!

I sure hope so. They are good folks and we enjoy being in their company a great deal.

I think I want to do a big sign that says Shield Ranch and maybe the year the ranch was established in their...

Here are the three of them, with the first coat of poly on them. It is going down to 25 degrees overnight, so it is not likely to cure very swiftly in a relatively un-heated building!

I made these cabin plaques for a friend's ranch property. I have cut them and put the first coat of sealer on them. I will get a few coats of sealer on and then I will spray them black to fill the...

You guys can make your own dust shoe as easily as buying one.... just find a design or create one that looks good to you. I would send you my design but it is (1) designed for a spindle and you both...

That is easy. It only takes loosening 4 bolts on either side of the gantry to allow the motors to disengage from the rack. Then gently roll to an end and have some very strong helpers...

I have been doing a lot of work in white oak lately. I have often used a Hartlauer 52-180h (2 flute, spiral, upcut) for work in wood, aluminum, plastics... I tend to ramp in a spiral manner with a...

Eric That's a fair wobble you have there! I trammed it to within a couple thousandths. Took a few tries, but was worth it. Edge quality is very good (and improved) and perpendicularity to the bed...

I use mine to cut a lot of aluminum and hardwoods, etc. I think the 4HP spindle is a solid choice for me. If you are doing light cutting on light materials, it would likely be overkill....

So- several years ago I was made aware that my spindle (4HP HSD) was "noisy" and I would need to replace it eventually. I did nothing about this at first. I knew the advice was solid, but it didn't...

If they do it like they used to, they charge a small fee to transfer the license.

Well! Thank goodness for that! I was dreaming up a custom machine for specialty projects and was afraid I would buy your set up and start building the darn thing! That would be MONTHS of effort to...

Sorry. Ad is taken down. They must have sold it.

There is a nice PRS 4 x 8 at a guitar mfg shop in Austin. Nicely set up. With a laptop computer. Look on Austin Craigslist

Steve

You are a wealth of knowledge AND you do this like ShopBotters ought to always do it- warm and welcoming and offering up insights. Having met you in person, I know you are every bit as nice...

Guys and Gals

I am working on a project where, after designing 6 individual pieces to the project, I was trying to figure out the way to plan it on my table. I have a 5 x 10, and the parts would...

Looks like you now have legs for your new garden potting bench/table! And they will look awesome!!

Did you notice the 96 x 60 x double height Z that is available in the list? Is that not a consideration for you? ( it would be for me, if it was a 120. I already operate a 120 x 60 and an extra Z...

GREAT! Because I was tempted to buy it to get the dang trailer! ( not that would be anything wrong with having that good little machine!! Congrats to you and the buyer!
