Would you share your source and part numbers for the air cylinders pls. I need some, but there seem to be so many to choose from - it would be good to get what you have already working....

What material did you make the white unit drawers out of pls?

I need to redo my baths and kitchen doors and drawers and we are staying with the white.

Would you be willing to...

Thanks Gary, I will have a chance to do that today.

Thanks Jerry, I will check that out.

I suggest a dedicated vacuum pallet - incorporating the cut-through design areas in the pallet - I think it would be easy to make and would not take too much vacuum to hold it down. That's...

What file (variable) do I modify to change the Safe pull-up value for the C2 (ZZero) file pls.

I am trying to ZZero on a very tall item and the pull-up after the C2 routine is exceeding the Z...

What is your typical use for the 60 degree bit; lettering?

Brad, et al

Thanks very much for the replies. I will check out the IGUS products.

I would like to also try to make my own if anyone has a link to the plans on CNC Zone - I searched but was...

Anyone willing to share their sources, p/n’s, and any other pertinent information on what I need to install both X and Y E-Chain on my PRT 4896 please.

There are so many choices and variations...

Thanks for the reply John. It looks like the PRTAlpha 48" x 48" table will work for the older PRT 48" x 48".

Can anyone advise if a steel table for a PRT Alpha (Aluminum "Y" struts) will work for an older PRT (U-Channel "Y" struts)?

What about the "X" rack interfacing with the older pinon gears?

Would anyone share their sources for sheet cardboard - thanks.

Since I have loaded V3.6.1, my X and Y Unit Values have changed twice on me.

The first time it did it, the machine would not find X and Y home properly. The second time, it...

Disregard - I rebooted everything and it seems to be OK now

On my PRT Alpha I upgraded to V3.6.1 and now my Z axis Zero routine (C2) is not working properly.

Envoking C2 brings the bit down to the zero plate as is normal and then Z rises to 2" (instead...

I've been annoyed about them using a 3.5" hose for years - and try to find one on the Internet so you can have one long hose of the same size - can't be found. You would think that if ShopBot can...

That sign just turned out super Gary, well done.
What are the dimensions pls. Looks like .75" oak boards glued together as the base material.

Hanafi

If you can post a copy of the design file maybe we can help you create toolpath files for the ShopBot to cut.

Pete

Thanks Brady

I don't know what the rule of thumb is for stepover - perhaps someone else could advise us - If I make a new tool file, I look at another similar tool and use the same stepover.

Choose Profiling - under that selection you can choose inside or outside profiling.

Kenneth

You need to choose the 2D Profiling toolpath selection - not the Machine Along Vector. Top Left Icon under 2D toolpaths.

Within the 2D Profiling toolpath selection you get to choose...

What is the correct Aspire Post Processor for a PRT Alpha with the 7.2 gearing upgrade.

Aspire lists several processors and I am unsure which I should be using.

Thanks, Pete

Kenneth

You need to decide if you want a 10" square part or a 10" hole.

After you draw your part exactly 10", you then choose the 2D profile toolpath to achieve what you want.
