Disregard, I found a broken wire at the probe's WAGO connector.
I am running a PRT Alpha with 7.2 gearboxes.
I upgraded my control PC with a Win 8 PC and downloaded new control software and I upgraded the firmware.
Problem: Output #4 (stops the ShopBot)...
Thanks Brady, actually, I did put the - sign in the UV for the Z value earlier and that worked.

I installed a new Windows 8.1 PC to run my PRT Alpha 7.2 machine and now the Z travel is reversed in Keypad mode (Up arrow moves Z down and vice verse).

Anyone know a way to import the old Part Wizard drawings into Aspire or another drawing program?

Thanks for the input Mike - I have had bad luck with .080 aluminum before, I will try your settings.
Can anyone suggest proper speeds and feeds for cutting .080 Aluminum?
I am using Amana .250 Aluminum cutting bits. Also, what pass depths do you recommend.
Thanks Brady, worked a treat - it has been years since I did that and could not remember which pull down item (TS) to use.
Can someone remind me how to set the X,Y home setting - the offset from the prox switch when you do the C3 routine. The book says to modify the home.sbp file - but I don't seem to have that file on...
Chris - is this done with a rotating bit or a static bit. What size, taper, etc bits do you use pls.
What bit should I use to engrave text on a 1.5" x 5" Engraver's Brass plate. And do you have a source for the bit pls.
It is a memorial plate to be used outdoors. It has two lines of text.

Anyone have a source on the West coast for .5" HDPE 4'x8' sheets. I am looking for a White-Black-White configuration.

How did you engrave the logos - especially on the end of the bats.
Thanks, Pete
All good information and solutions to work positioning - but I think there may be other solutions out there as well - anyone else care to share their methods?

Super - thank you

Does use of the RPM Dialog Box require a special cable between the spindle control box (in my case the Delta box) and the ShopBot control box?
