My input 5 light is always on. It only turns off when the z-axis proxy switch is hit. Input 2 and 3 lights are always off and only turn on when the x or y-axis proxy switches are hit.
If you...
I just thought of one other frustration, although this pertains more to the ShopBot Link for eCabinets, it does affect the ATC.
I don't know if you are able to zero to the spoil board using the...

I will be cutting on my machine on Tuesday. If you feel like a road trip you are welcome to come over. It would be great to see you again!
The number of tool holders is a factor of the...
Nice work Tim. The curved work must have been fun and challenging!
That worked! Thanks very much to both of you, I appreciate your help. I rearranged the tools from biggest to smallest and everything ran as I wanted.

I rearranged all the tools from biggest to smallest and everything ran as expected.
I really appreciate the help.
That sounds promising. I will check that out. Thanks.
That didn't work, unfortunately.
When I set the 1/4" bit to interpolate, it still wants to use it to pocket out the 15mm holes instead of drilling them with the 15mm boring bit.
As soon as I...
Thanks Tim. I will try that tomorrow and report back.
I am trying to set up eCabinets and the ShopBot Link for the Cabineo system by Lamello.
I have it set up as a KD fastener in eCabinets and there are no issues there. The problem is in the...
My Z axis has a pneumatic assist, so it will drop when I disconnect the air. I always park the machine in the same spot and pop a 2x4 cutoff under the spindle before disconnecting the air. It drops...
I cut up a bunch of books a couple years ago. A local artist brought them to my workshop and asked if I could cut shapes out from them. This was before I had my CNC so I used my bandsaw. It wasn't...
I would be interested.
If you are looking for ideas for other kits, how about a pneumatic pop-up pin kit :)
No, I haven't had any issues.
One other advantage of storing vertically is ease of access. When storing sheet goods horizontally, it always seems that the sheet you need is the one at the...
I agree with Russ suggestion. A couple of other ideas.
If you have the height to store your sheet goods vertically, you could reduce that surface area from 4' x 10' to say 4' x 5'
I would...
Are you selecting the material first?
Are you sure the parts will fit on the smaller sheet?
Are both of the dimensions you are entering smaller than the table parameters definged in the settings?

No problems at all.
I recently replaced my spoil board. Previously I had always sealed the edges with Titebond glue. I tried something different this time.
1.89 inch HVAC Aluminum Foil Tape.
It works great. ...
Agreed. I've turned some bowls from cotton wood. Very difficult to get a clean cut.
Thanks! I've been zeroing to the center of the file and it is sometimes tricky to find the center of the slab once it is on the table. Zeroing to a small feature on the slab is a great idea.
My experience and the value I've received from the support staff at ShopBot far outweighs the inconvenience of a couple missing screws. I'm sure if you ever had occasion to call for help with a...
If you typically zero to the top of the material, on those occasions where you create a file requiring you to zero to the spoil board, just create a note to remind yourself.

That's beautiful!
Looks great Tim! Congratulations and all the best to you.
