What time will the festivities begin?

Hi Mike! I'll be there!

I was impressed to see a good sized article written up in the new Make magazine that just came out the other day. I don't know how popular Make magazine is, I know I love it, but I would imagine...

Has anyone cut one of these out yet? I'd be very interested in seeing what it looks like. I might have a go of it later this week.

Dana, that looks really good!

I have a PC and I don't have any popups going on when I come to this forum. I use Google's toolbar, which is excellent for blocking popups. So, maybe they are there, but my toolbar stops them from...

I cut another prototype neck out yesterday and had zero problems. I'm running 3.5.20 and that's where I shall stay for now. It ran for about 2.5 hours without stopping and no issues. I'm happy. I...

If not your next option probably is to remove the internal hard drive and put it either into another computer, or make it an external drive for another computer, and do the transfer on this other...

LOL...I'm enjoying my mid-70's during the day right now with the lows in the low 60's at night. ;o)

Thanks Ryan! I'm probably not the best to host since I'm not running my machine 8+ hours a day like some others here. Regardless, where ever you go and what ever you find we all would be interested...

My vote goes to the controller software. ;o)

Hey Mike, I was going to call you today, but got side tracked with other stuff. Was going to ask you about all this. I went back to 3.5.20 as well. I haven't had any issues yet....thank God!
...

I wonder if some of them would be willing to travel to some of us that have problems to witness them first hand. We could also video tape our work so that we can send to SB and show the problem...

You know, I never thought of using those to cut tabs, but yea, looks like a good idea. I'd definitely would get the Harbor Freight version with the 20% off coupon!

Kevin, my guess is they used USB because it's more prevalent. Now that USB 3.0 is out I'd like to see Shopbot switch to that as well as offer us the hardware to upgrade our bots to USB 3.0.

USB...

I don't get this! I did another speed test just now and I'm consistantly getting in the mid-60s.

I talked to Dana Swift this morning and he said his is in the 50s, but has never had any issues....

Then click on the second link and a new window will pop up. You can choose from a list of previous versions there.

Kenneth, do the speed test with the supplied USB port and without it and post your findings. I would be interested to see the difference between the two!

Ideally I like for everyone on this...

I was just talking to Frank at support and here's the deal....at least my deal.

I have an older computer that I built waaaay back. It's a dual PIII computer but is native USB 1.1. Several...

Kenneth, I've had the same move command problems as you. It's done that "continue/stop" option on me before as well at least a couple of times now.

Let me know if a new card does the trick. ...

I can't even duplicate it, you know! Sounds like you got the same problem that I've got.

Like I said, after it happened I went into the cut file and delete all the lines of code leading up to...

Yes Kevin, a loud bang! I'll be calling them this morning on it soon.

Thanks Mike. I'm not using e-cabinets so that shouldn't be a problem.

Today I'm cutting a finish pass routine on a prototype guitar neck. Thank God it was just "cheap" Poplar that I was cutting and not a customer's neck.

Twice I lost comm., while I was setting up...

Thanks Richard! Actually one idea I had was using a glue pen that's used for applying gold flake. I was going to use the glue pen to do my logo and then apply the gold flake to it and then clear...

I've been thinking of doing something like this. I'd like to be able to paint my logo on the headstock of my guitar necks that I build instead of always doing inlays. Would be cheaper to do and...
