hi dmidkiff,
Aspire is capable, but there was a ton of parts already drawn by someone else in Rhino. Rhino itself tends to be much more robust (for me at least) in terms of drawing a lot of...

YES!! I found your youtube video yesterday while the shopbot forum was down and I was done smashing my face into the wall in frustration.

hi Jeff,

Thanks for the input. I did have an 8-zone configuration drawn up so what you said makes a lot of sense. The 12x24 grid just matched up nicely with the 5x10 cutting area so I started to...

Hi all,

I'm setting up a new vacuum table and was wondering your opinion(s).

I have a 5x12 PRT and want to be able to vac-down anything from small parts all the way up to the 5x10 sheets of...

Hey All,

This is my first time posting as I am now a finally a ShopBot owner. I just bought what I think is a PRT(not sure if alpha) 5x12 with a 5hp Colombo and a 15hp FPZ. I'll attach some pics...
