Well your from the NE. We expect grouchy LOL. Still ALL the info is in the program except spindle RPM. If one (the programmer) was so inclined good estimates for any machine could be generated.

Yaaa I've seen that. But,,, Everything the program needs to calculate is already there. the feed speed, the ramp the plunge the cutter dia the overlap the cut depths the total linear inches. I just...

Were still working on getting better educated in the operation of our new Desktop with most of the whistles and bells including the spindle drive. It seems that the run time estimates that are...

If so you should not try to be on the network (Home or other) while your Bot is running first thing I do when starting up my controller puter is turn off my network connection and then set my...

Every shop must have a 5" orbital palm sander. A belt sander, Oscillating Spindle Sander. the palm sander does great work, easy to use easy to change paper fast. Also leaves few if any sanding lines....

Wife seems to have found the fix if not the reason for our issue. Except for roughing cuts we have been exclusively using the offset cutting option. Changing to the raster cut option for the finish...

Yup 8.024 windows 7 on my putter windows 10 on wife's same results on either. I'm suspecting that Aspire has some vetric file programming issues.

It wouldn't be the boundary lines etc as it's Aspire's own vetric files and it's happening with more that one panel design puled in directly from the Aspire 8 program.

I only have a 3D finish pass on it now as that is the operation giving me problems. I took out all the rest of the 3D objects and the v-carve etc just to be sure.

File is too large to attached...

Everything has been going on just fine till now. Two different computers two or three different system available vetrics file panels all with the same error.

Everything seems fine but finish 3d...

I worked with and even taught SolidWorks. After retirement I no longer had access to a SolidWorks key code # and at over $4000 + annual maintenance fee of over $1000 just can't justify that expense....

Not that strange. A 10" X 10" square 3d shape maybe 5/8" deep may take 8 hours to cut with a 3/16" ball end-mill. By attacking it with first a 5/8" End mill then a 1/4" end mill and finishing up with...

I just receiver two (Free) 10" X 10" X 3/4" samples of Signfoam from Sign-arts Products www.signfoam.com. One is marked RPU 4000-18 and the other RPU 4000-15. Both are SF4 microcell what ever that...

I often need to do more than one rough cut to reduce machine cutting time. ie .50 end mill then .25 end mill then .375 ball end cutter followed by a finishing pass with maybe a ¼ or 3/8” ball end...

yup same bit # I'm using. Like the 1/2" shank. Feel it's more secure and less likely to spin in the Collete.

I have a desktop. I set my Leigh on my workbench. I use a Porter Cable 690 to do my dovetails

Exact same bit I'm testing now. See my feed numbers above. Nice cut finish wish it would move faster without chipping. Course Oak is one of the worst for that.

To be honest I also purchased a Leigh D4R-Pro 24" Dovetail Jig. Have about 20 high cost bits for that included in my total investment.

Yes and No. I keep going back to this but haven't absorbed ALL that's in there yet. I am using the Z values you mentioned however. Thanks for your input. There are probably a dozen or more critical...

Just completed a lot of testing with Oak using a 60 deg V-Bit 3 straight flute bit. Seems that first you need to run as fast as fast can be. (rabbit thing as you older folk will recall). 18,000 rpm I...

I’m not having much luck with 30 deg or 60 deg V-bits. Letters like M and Y keep chipping. 90 deg works a lot better tho. Tried several different woods and one, two and three flute v-bits with mostly...

Thanks to you all. Brand new Desktop with maybe 20 hours on it so far so should be tight yet. I'll let you all know how it went with a pic or two once I get this project going. Were dancing around...

I just purchased a couple of each in several micro diameters starting at 1/64" from American Carbide. They are all 2 flute spiral up-cut. The wife wants to do very small 3D jewelry (earrings etc) so...

Every thing I read here leased me to believe that shopbots controllers are quite sensitive to any anomalies . That said the power curve supply will be more consistent moment to moment than your...

Like I mentioned I have the PRT2200LCD. crunching the spec numbers it says it will run my desktop for about 7 min. After hooking it all up and monitoring the real current draw it is obviously capable...
