Thanks to all... Got back to it today and just as expected you guys were right. I had a VERY small overlap on the drawing. I fixed that and all wroks well.
When doing a simple profile of a drawing, I get an error message "No toolpath created for current parameters. Check tool can fit selected vectors at machining depth."
What does this mean? I've done...
Thanks for staying with this Gary... I will send it in... I find it very odd myself...
I am using the shopbot inch (*.sbp) post processor. The preview looks like it should. It cuts the slots in the correct order. However, it just starts at the 3" position rather than the 1" position....

I will grab a couple of screen shots when I can get back in the shop. I am making guitar kerfing. I am making them in batches. The wood size is 5.5" wide x 24" long x .25" thick. The slots are only...
I can try. Which screens would mean the most to you?
I am using the latest version of PartWorks. I made a simple rectangle to represent one of 78 slots to cut into a part. The first slot is to be at 1 inch on X and then another every .235 inches. When...
Sorry if you spent any time on this. I was able to solve the problem in Alibre... It will export an assembly in a .STL file. I was just a little brain dead from learning all this stuff!
Thanks... ...
I use Alibre Design to draw my parts. I can export an .STL file for these parts. It cuts nicely on the Buddy32...
Now, I'd like to be more efficient. I'd like to take multiple parts designed in my...
Do you mind sharing how you hold down your wood and if you did the design on your neck?? I am working on my first ShopBot neck now and would appreciate any information you are willing to share.
I believe you are right. The objects only look 3D in CorelDraw... Well that saves me $500 but does not get me the partner I wanted...
Thanks!
I build acustic guitars as a hobby/passion. I recently got a new Buddy and I wanted to reach out and see who else is building similar instruments on a bot.
My first effort is to draw and cut the...
I am testing Corel X4 with a 15 day free install. I am new to using both it and the new shopbot in my garage... And this is FUN!
I want to do a very simple test. For instance draw any simple 3d...
Thanks again all! I am amazed... Support called me last night - well after hours and we talked through what to do. When I could collect the proper tools, I was able to get it moving again.
As some...
Thanks guys... I will call support on Monday AM...
An added note... I turned off the PC and shut down the controller. I then unplugged the USB cable. I tried moving the z axis by hand and it won't budge...
I am new... so sorry... I have a BT32 Standard... with the router...
Last night I started a copy machine on a guitar bridge. Everything seemed to be going fine, So, after watching if for an hour...
Wil, My VU settings were wrong. I actually called support on Friday AM and talked them. They took me thru a 2 minute effort to use a ShopBot default file that was on my PC intended for my particular...
Thanks to each of you! And I really appreciate good advice. I started getting ready to level the spoil board late yesterday evening after they were closed on the east coast. So, the forum was my...
I am sure you can help me... and I appreciate it... I am brand new to this game and I have a lot to learn. However, I am a computer guy and a long time wood worker - so I am cautiously optimistic... ...
