8Ball, [QUOTE=8Ball;210589]Inverted and mounted to the gantry with an adjustable bracket.
It follows with the gantry and hooked to any dust collector, works great.
I'm considering the same device...
8Ball, thanks. Definetly worth consideration.

I'd like to see what people have set up for dust collection for a CNC rotary indexer.
Thanks, Phil
thank you, Bill.

What command is issued to control the rotational speed of an indexer?
I've been looking, haven't been able to find the answer.

I contacted Shopbot Tech support. We went through a series of troubleshooting and determined that the indexer was the root of the problem. I returned it, glad I purchased though Amazon. I have a...
Yesterday I turned a 1.375" dia x 9" long piece of softwood to 1.25" dia. I had trimed the corners to an octagon shape so the cut was very light. The cut went as expected. Next I used Aspire to...
With the help of Shopbot tech support the issus has been resolved.

I figured out how to get the coordinates. C3 rezeroed X Y Z. moved Y to indexer center and recorded the Y coordinate.
I adjusted my spindle head position to an accurate center on the Y axis.I zeroed X and Y so that I can return with the MH command. When I return the Shopbot to the table 0,0 I will lose the X and Y...
Thank you, Brian. This has been a very frustrating process. After setting up and testing the indexer I thought it would be simple to use Aspire to control the new tool. I've used V-Carve since...
I bought and setup a rotary indexer last week. I've been having trouble with toolpaths. Aspire would show me the preview that I expected but when I saved the toolpath it would not be the same. ...
Thanks, Scott. I've been setting up a rotary indexer and the tool has less headroom.

After executing C2 to zero
x and Y my Z setting is at 1.0. I would like to change HBO that to 0.5. how can I do that?

A big shout out to Shopbot tech support. I've owned my Shopbot for 16 years. Recently I bought an aftermarket Rotary indexer through Amazon. I needed help with a few things to get in working...
I just set up my new rotary indexer. I set the file up to run in the X axis. I used the wrapping gadget and selected the raster machining method. The indexer is rotating 360 degrees, the router is...
YES, v. cool.
Phil
I contacted Shopbot tech support. They were very helpful, I got my indexer working.

I've connected an aftermarket rotary axis to my PRT 4G Benchtop Shopbot. How can I test the operation. With the X, Y, Z axis I can move (M) or Jog (J) each axis indivdually. How can I move the...
I am trying to learn 3D printing, making good progress. There are similarities to CNC work so I think I can get some help here.
The first pic shows a preview from Aspire, this is an STL file. The...
That is a Benchtop Shopbot. Table is 24" x 32". I bought one of those in 2006. Great machine. I don't know when Shopbot stopped making them.
Phil
Thanks for the suggestion, Bill. I contacted Wacom by Chat yesterday and requested software from another model that might work. I was sent a link for download and it is working fine.

I have an older Wacom tablet Bamboo Fun CTE 450. I can't find the software disc and Wacom doesn't support it any more. I'm hoping someone can help me find the software. Or, is there a substitute...
http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=35230&stc=1I have a Shopbot PRT, with a 4g Board, circa 2006. Works great. This is the PP I use. I have Aspire but that should make any...
