Hi Bob, your spoil board looks very useful.
What kind of fences & wedges do you use?

Thanks,

Hi, I have a ShopBot Desktop. I'm trying to come up with coordinates for making various jigs that fit the extruded bed. The slots are 1.5" apart, but they're not parallel to the X axis of the gantry....

Ryan, has there been any progress in implementing the auto-speed control? Is there an estimate for when it will be started/completed?

Thanks,
Chelmite

15 minutes into a 2.5 hour job, the ShopBot stops moving (but the spindle stays ON).
I get a popup saying:

An error is occurring that could not be corrected. You will need to exit, check all...

Can someone point me to some reference material that would help me understand what I would need to do to write a bit of code for the ShopBot DeskTop? I want to write a routine similar to C3 that...

I'm sorry. I didn't intend to offend. I've been trying to get an answer to my question for 3 days, so I tried refining the question. I tried to point out what info I was needing and made constructive...

HP matters because, if you calculate a theoretical rpm and feed rate for your bit, and your spindle doesn't have the power to make the cut, the spindle will stall. I'm not running production, but, if...

Hi. Does anyone have an answer to my original question? For a given RPM (12000, 15000, or 18000) what is the HP of my spindle according to the specs on the side of the spindle? E.g., for 12000 rpm...

I get the relationship between the Fnnn display and the rpm (multiply by 60). What's the difference between the numbers on the spec plate that are inside parentheses and the number in front of the...

It says F300 when cranked up fully.
So, if that's for 50/60Hz, which number is for 60Hz, the number in parentheses or the number outside the parentheses?

Here's the full table:


V(+-10%) 220 220 220
Hz 200 250 300
rpm 12000 15000 18000
kW 0.65(0.85) 0.65(0.85) 0.50(0.60)
Hp ...

I have a shopbot desktop with an HSD spindle.

The spec plate has two sets of numbers for the HP for 3 sets of speeds:

For example for 200 Hz /12K rpm:
hp 0.88(1.15)

What are the two hp...

I'm competely surprised that there's no auto-speed for the spindle.

Does anyone know what it would take to upgrade to do auto-speed?

Thanks

I'm using Aspire/VCarve Pro with my ShopBot Desktop and using GWizard to calculate my speeds and feeds.

Do the speeds I set in my design get sent to my Desktop's spindle automatically? Does the...

Are you referring to the 60" workbenches with drawers? It's only 20" deep. Is that enough support for the ShopBot DeskTop?

What do I need to do for a stand for the Desktop?
Sears sells stands for their tools. Is that a good option?

Thanks
