For sale is an air drill with dual solenoids for operation on a Shopbot. This model was originally made by Gary Campbell and runs perfectly with all original documentation. Includes bracket for...

Thanks to Nat and Ryan at Shopbot I was able to get back up and running . In the end Ryan gave me a file that got everything working in short order without tinkering with C6, C7 and C9 again . Glad...

Imperial . You must be telepathic Nat . I was getting ready to send you an email :)

I have been a long time user of this capability and everything was running smoothly until a set of 'events' forced me to rebuild the PC running my Alpha .
I thought I had backups of the required...

Thanks Guys . I have ben in touch with HSD and they provided the diagrams for the 2.2 HSD I have and Shopbot provided the hole pattern in the Z that I need for a new mount to so I am good for all the...

Hi Dan , I am trying to limit machine downtime and have a new plate made up ahead of when I need to take things apart and start applying the upgrade . Worst case that is what I will do . I have...

I am adding a new drill head to my Z access and need to rotate the Spindle 90 degrees to get the drilling head where I want it and move the electrical connections to the spindle to the side. The...

Hi Erminio , nice to here from you . Things are busy enough for me at the moment. Adding closet capability is something I have thought about for a long time but flip-ops was one of those things I was...

I have solved my problem with the help of Nat Wheatley and Gary Campbell . In the end my air-drill offsets were off by about a millimeter and once tweaked everything was fine . In the process my...

I am trying to make the move into cutting closet parts and I am using flip-ops for the first time and RTA fittings for the first time . In cutting long closet parts with lots of holes I noticed that...

Don , I have decided to implement your approach with the addition of a stop on the Y-axis . I have the platform in place and now on to the blocks.When the blocks are put in placed and trimmed with...

Corrected - thanks for the tip Dave ..:)

Thanks Don and Gary - that completes the puzzle . I may substitute some pieces of UHMW plastic for added stability over wood . If I can get dowel lengths in the material(or fiberglass) even better ....

I am looking into a registry system similar to what Gary shows in his column but I am wondering do I need to be that fancy . Can I just create an 'L' along the X and Y axis that is used to register a...

Well since I had so much success with Pocket Screws now it is time to explore the final frontier for me in my use of the Link (for now:)) . I am looking into making closet parts and the link is...

Hi Gary , I finally got around to getting the pocket holes placed in a job and I am very pleased with them . One more job given to the bot and I didn't even have negotiate with it for a pay raise :)...

Hi Gary , I have been meaning to ask about that 'web' style top you use on base cabinets shown in your picture . I use a pair of 6" wide stretchers . What advantages does the single piece give you?
...

Hi Gary, I lean towards a Rafix style strategy so that I an easily apply this to any part at a set spacing without doing a PE hole every time . The use of a butt joint with these is no issue foe me ....

Thanks Tim, I should have said these are all cabinet parts and I use the E-cabinets Link exclusivey for these parts .

Has anyone got a strategy for making a hole that takes a pocket screw nicely . I am thinking I have to use a hole of 50% depth of sufficient diameter to get the screw angle correct . I use a 1/4"...

Hi Gerald , why not just cut the birch sheet in half ;). Way faster and cheaper . Seriously though I wonder how many people buy a 5' machine 'just in case' . You could be in for a long journey to get...

I worked around it by adding a new material with the correct thickness and changing all affected parts to this new material ...

Thanks for suggestion Gary - All the best for the new year :)

Gary , I am generating the CNC file from the Room Layout not the Batch list but that is a good idea to change the material thickness in preferences to work around it. I will send the files to...

For the first time I tried changing the material thickness when generating the CNC file from E-cabinets . To my dismay I ended up at the Link with several copies of 2 or 3 cabinets in the job and...
