Will keep you in my prayers for good recovery.
You have entered a gold mind. Keep selling and finding new ways to get your product out and into the customers eyes.
They will sell very well!
Wishing you mega sales in 2011
I don't think it is an X axis binding since it also showed the same problem when moving the Y axis.
What updates have happened to the computer?
Run a speed test-

Tim,
Did you have a top on the box so it was enclosed?
If you did, then you did burn it up. The motors have to have a good amount of air flow to allow them to keep cool.

I have been using NanoStation2 for my "bridge" between the house where the DSL line is and the shop and office. One NanoStation2 in the house setup as the AP, Access Point and the shop has a...
I will be there all week
Here is a quick test to show if the gantry is in fact flexing.
Place a heavy chunk of metal in the center of the table. I used channel iron. Mount a magnetic base dial indicator on the metal and...
I have been running it without that problem. Did you load the firmware into the control box first?
The only "errors" I have gotten were present before this release as well..... prox switch...
Welcome Adam-
I have a PRS alpha 4848.
At some point, I want to contact you and see what all you make. I sure do like that R/C and have almost purchased one several times. Maybe one day soon....
I hold hardwood without any problems at all.
Allstar gasket is what I use with dedicated fixtures for each part.
One Fein Trubo III (like ShopBot sells) is what I use to hold my parts.
My...
The Alpha motors and the drivers are a "Pair". They communicate back and forth in real time. The logic is if the driver does not send out a "fault" then all is well and moving. The drivers receive...
The feedback that the Alpha steppers return goes no farther than the drivers. The SB3 software has no idea where the machine is. It is not until the drivers tell the world that the steppers have...
I am running the 3.6.18 without any problems. I am running on a PRSalpha 48 machine.
I upgraded from the very reliable (in my opinion) 3.5.20.
I am sorry you are having these troubles but lets see if we can get everything going for you.
First, verify that you can cut without trouble a few more times by running the machine, cutting parts...
I like the Ethernet link between the control computer and the SB controller suggestion Dana makes.
The idea of having a dedicated CPU inside of the control box with a USB connector(s) on the box...
I would ask the folks at Centurion Tools and see if they have one or have plans to make one.
Brady said it all.
Thank you!
I could not think of a better place to go after such an honor!
I have had a PRTalpha96 and now have a PRSalpha48 so let me know if I can help with anything. If you have questions feel free to call or post here. I am happy to take pictures of anything you have...

I had this condition on my PRT alpha and installed the 7.2:1 gearmotors and the problem did go away. It is the resolution of the not gear motor. This can be tested with a dial indicator...
It comes with your machine..... PartWorks.
I also use Corel Draw and Aspire.
You are in good hands with ShopBot. They will take care of you.
Steve Knight,
What you are seeing is a lack of resolution in the Z. Change your Z motor to the 7.2:1 gear head motor like is used on the PRS. I had the same problem on my PRT until I worked...
Use a variable and force the user to enter a speed when the file is run. Safe for the new guy and the input line can be removed by the seasoned user. Set one variable and the speeds are all done. ...
