If you select the .sbp output version, the tip diameter setting is available because the file is run "as-is". The dxf output is used when there is going to be further manipulation in CAD, so the...

This is kind of the inverse of what you want, but there's a file that's installed with the ShopBot software that zeroes to the sides of a hole instead of the edge of a disc. It might be a good...

If you are going to be at the USITT ( United States Institute for Theater Technology) Conference in Baltimore this weekend, ShopBot has a booth and may be able to suggest some folks. You might also...

Glad you got it figured out...that must have been a hard one to track down!

Ron Sloan...did you ever solve your problem?

Beautiful work as always Scott. Looking forward to seeing what you make for birthday #100!

It may be a hardware issue and the tech support team can help you work though that, but when things work one day and then act odd the next, I suspect a corrupted setting file with something like the...

Don't worry....we still sell lots of big tools. About 60% of the tools we ship are gantry tools

I've noticed that the ShopBot Facebook groups are more active than the forum has been recently, though not sure why that is?

And I can't speak for Rocco and his specific reason for buying a...

FYI, for those of you that may not follow ShopBot on Facebook or haven't been to Durham to seen how the tools are built, here's a picture from Facebook showing this week's shipment of gantry tools...

I just learned that Joe Crumley passed away. Those of you that have been on the forum for a while will remember Joe as an amazing sign artist...probably the best that's ever been on the forum.......

I'm not going to get into the middle of this discussion, but as a moderator I want to comment about posts and if/when they are deleted.

We have very rarely depleted posts or threads, mostly first...

As far as I know all ShopBots have had PWM control capabilities since the early plasma cutter days. My suggestion would be to check with the ShopBot support folks and find out the details about using...

That's definitely a weird one!

After warming up does every Z move have a corresponding Y move? When it lifts straight up at the end of the file to its safe Z location does the Y also move, or is...

Does it lose position ...cut the part the wrong size and not return to the correct home position afterwards? Or is it that the tabs are shifted but the parts are correct other than that?

I'm sure you have honorable intentions or you wouldn't have posted publicly, and as noted above Vectric has a very fair transfer policy.

Be aware though that if the original owner has used their...

I got two PRS Alphas with HSD 2.2 spindles in 2008 for a big cutting job. One of the spindles was replaced maybe 3 years ago, but the other one is still running fine after 13 years. I don't cut...

Have you tried pushing down on the table when the vacuum is off, to see if the layers are not bonded together and there's some spring in the lamination?

Hey Kyle,

This doesn't really answer your question, but have you seen the STEM guitar builders website? They seem to have lots of resources for teachers building guitars

I've had a Prusa MK3 for a couple of years and agree 100%. Was given an Ender 3 that prints well now but has required a ton of fiddling and fussing to get it that way..the Prusa has been trouble free.

Hi all,

It appears that there are a fair number of Shopbotters that also have 3d printers. I'm curious if/how you combine 3d printed parts and ShopBot cut parts into the projects you do?

Here...

What do you plan on 3d printing? The Dremel is a good 3d printer with good reviews, but if you're planning on doing small, high rez prints and don't mind a little resin messiness you might look at...

Excellent!

Bob,

Support is your best bet for sure, but I have a somewhat similar setup on my Max and do a lot of turning with it. I don't use the MTC posts though, and have a 3" indexer.

If you want to...

My guess is that the B-axis lost steps. I'd bet the depth of cut is different for that feature or the feed speed.

You could try running that feature without a blank in it and a reference mark on...
