If you can afford the space, I suggest adding a second drum. I found that each separator would capture somewhat more than 90% of the dust it received - so that the first drum would catch...

For those willing to build their own, I have photos of a DIY cyclone built entirely from recycled materials for use with a ShopVac at http://www.iedu.com/ww/MiniCyclone

At the same time that I...

I've decided to put a bare bones version of my SuperZero on sale at a considerably reduced price. The offer is for the SuperZero block only - no after-sale support, no software, no connectors, no...

Tim, Erminio...

Thanks for the kind words.


Gene...

You mean this isn't a forum for cranky old men? Yes, personality always shows through.

Mine is that of a cranky old...

I may be one of the "guilty ones" however when you think about it, in a conversation among 4 or 5 guys it never stays strictly technical and strays off topic in conversations in normal course so this...

Tim...

The forum (rather publicly) reflects the nature of the entire ShopBot community.

The regulars stop posting when they conclude it is in their best interest to not post here, and there...

There're photos of a simpler (and less elegant) panel cart here. With these photos you may not need plans. I built the one shown to be the height of the top of my spoilboard.

Joe...

Heh - don't let it buffalo you. I was older than you are now when I got my Bot, and I guarantee that this stuff isn't as difficult to learn as we all try to make it when we're starting. ...

The bit/spindle location - and tool paths - always refer to the center of the bit.

The different sizes (1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2") of probe rods are an attempt to allow using one of...

John...

It was frustrating for a while, but I learned from the experience and moved on. The only difference has been that I haven't wasted as much of my time trying to solve problems I don't...

John...

Thank you - it's difficult to know if a web page is worth putting together and maintaining without feedback. I usually figure that, with an e-mail link on every page, if it's not worth...

Steven...

I've updated the web page to add a bit of the "detailed information" you suggested. Like most "geeks", I'm a terrible salesman. Thanks for your suggestions!

All...

And to...

Jason...

I think I'm gonna have to put you on the payroll.

Joe...

Thank you (I just finished your Priority Mail label)! I'll have it on its way tomorrow.

I think you'll be pleased. This all came about because some of the parts of my solar panels...

Steve...

There isn't a crosshair. The bottom of the large hole is counterbored (stepped) to allow positioning a plastic reticule disk. To ensure accuracy a blank disk should be stuck in place...

Steve...

All it does is locate a reference corner (or point if you've made a reticule) on a workpiece to within one step (the limit of measurement on a stepper-driven CNC router) and either...

Joe...

I'll guess that you missed the original thread where I explained the motivation for offering the SuperZero to fellow 'Botters and where I asked the group what they thought would be...

Evan...

I hadn't intended to post to the forum again - but after seeing last night's server report of 580 delivered "404 - page not found" responses, decided that it might be more difficult to...

[ final comments ]

Not so magnanimous - I just wanted people to be happy with what they got.

Several people expressed interest in accepting my offer to trade their original SuperZeros for...

I've resurrected a couple of old web pages dealing with circular arcs and coves/domes (as well as some geekish stuff on how-to-cut extruded arcs) that might be handy. There's an index page here.

Scott...

Are the two curves circular arcs?

I shot a few pix this morning and posted them to a new web page.

There's a link above to some photos, and I'll see if I can take some better when I get out to the shop.

I use C-, F-, and hold-down clamps to secure the pallet. Vacuum would've...

Pallets are 3/4" plywood - nothing special.

I used Titebond III - because it was handy at the moment :-)

Installing the T-track against the end of a stopped dado will (I think) do a better...

Hmm - they aren't great photos, but there're a few at the bottom of this page.
