This little gadget looks interesting. Unfortunately I use a 2.5" fly cutter to surface my spoilboard and the pad is recessed in a 2" opening. No good for me.... oh well!

You may need to check your safe Z variables for the air drill. I have not had this issue, but recently made a change to the subroutine programming to get the spindle to return to 1" off the...

No, if you look at the pictures I attached in earlier posts, you will see that the nut cap and collet attach to the HSK holder. I don't believe that you can modify a regular/normal HSD spindle. I am...

I have run cut files and forgot to close the Spindle control window. I use VCP V7 and it sets the spindle to exactly the speed you set. With the spindle control window open, the SBP program changes...

Hey guys, I have a new PRS with a Yakisawa 1000 VFD. If I run the spindle at 12000 RPM instead of 12008 RPM, it drops out with LF error on VFD. Does same thing if I run at 10K, 15K, 18K. But does not...

Jerry, yes to setting the tool like an atc. I am using the same software files in sb control panel that you would use on an atc machine. I can go into SB setup and switch between ATC and MTC any...

No, I think the 929 you are referring to is used on the Automatic Tool Changer that uses ISO-30 tool holders. The spindle I have is a manual tool change spindle fitted with the receiver for the HSK...

I've been using a vacuum hold down for several months and have cut several hundred sheets of plywood and MDF on it. I initially started out using regular 3/4" MDF and got pretty good holding power....

The system requires a specific spindle. It is an HSD 4hp spindle equipped with the quick change collar to accept the HSK 32C tool holder (shown in the previous photos). The quick change feature is an...

A little off topic, but related to cutting aluminum. I have an aluminum bar that I plan on carving into. Carving the owner's name into it. I have an Amana 90 degree v bit to use to cut the lettering....

Once you have changed the bit, the software continues running the cut file. In the pictures here, the 3/8" compression bit was inserted when the file called for a tool...

The software prompts you to change the bit. Quick turn of the allen wrench and pop it out and put in new one. Tool heights are saved in the...

I'll get some pictures up soon.

Okay, its been a while since my last post,several months actually. Ive been busy learning to operate and doing some upgrades on my PRS Alpha. After a few months of processing parts and inumberable z...

ShopBot is quoting me $250 per tool holder, however One of my local suppliers can get the HSK tool holder to me for $180 each.

Can you post a link to the video? I found the blog, but no video. Thanks, Rob

If you currently have a router, you will need to add a VFD for speed control. There would be some wiring changes in the control box to bring voltage to 220v also. As far as zeroing goes, the tool has...

The new quick change spindle is a step below the ATC, but does require a T handle allen wrench for a tool change. It does not require additional pneumatics or software that the ATC needs. The new...

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to put up a post regarding my new ShopBot.

I finished the 2 day class at ShopBot on Friday and they loaded up my new machine in the afternoon. Still waiting on a few...

5 gallon bucket and cheap quart cup conventional spray gun from Northern Tool. I thin out the glue slightly to spray finer.

Does Cabinet Parts Pro do MDF doors? I sent a PM to Ryan, but he didn't respond. :confused:

Thanks for the post! Reminds me that I need to get some website work done too! I took a look at the sign website. Very well laid out site, looking good so far. I noticed That some of the yellow...

looks pretty sweet guys! This will be high on my list of priorities right after I take delivery of my new PRS alpha. I downloaded the VCP files last night and have it ready to go once I get my new...

So how much was that bad boy?

Hey guys, I put in my order for a new PRSAlpha 96-60 and looking forward to getting it next month! I mostly do flat panel processing of 3/4" plywood for cabinet cases and MDF for doors. Once I get...
