The green fuse was blown, I did replace it thinking that was all that was wrong but it went sparky and puff of smoke. So I think it's done. I think it's 10 years old, would they still do free...

I seem to have a bad Geckodrive G302V stepper drive.
Can I use one from elsewhere or do I need to buy it from Shopbot?
Anyone know where I could get a service manual for my Holzher 1405 Edge bander? I'm doing a job with high gloss panels and want to get the second set of trimmers going.
I like to use 1/4" compression bits on my PRT. Cutting speed I use is 4-4.5 IPS with at 10800 rpm. I'm sure it the bits could be faster on an alpha machine but any faster and I'm risking losing...
Has anyone used the dovetail joints feature of ecabinets? Is that even possible with a shopbot?
If I'm cutting some smaller parts I'll spray some contact cement on the spoil board, let it dry then put the sheet down. Seems to help a lot. Mind you you have to get amount of contact cement and...
Yeah looks like the graphical design is the way to go with this. Trying to do the offset mathematically is proving difficult. I did like the spreadsheet programming method though. Gives me much...
I've had good success making raised panel looking MDF doors using a cove bit, a pointed beaded bit for the inside of the frame and a small endmill bit using 5 passes. Now I'm considering trying to...
Recently I was having intermittent problems with my tool change routine.
I have a "Z" axis with a 1/4" cutter and an "A" axis with a 5mm cutter drilling holes. At the start of cutting, instead of...
I have been able to cut slab doors with or without edgebanding and also drawer box parts. Haven't tried the dovetail joints though.
I had random limit switch triggers happening once in a while too. Then a few months later the limit switch sensor broke in half for no apparent reason. Made me think that the sensor was defective...
Steve, interesting way to do that with and with an endmill bit as well.
I will keep it in mind if the job comes my way.
Thanks for all the advice, guess I'm gonna have to learn ArtCam a bit better.
Steve M. I don't think I can raster 90 degrees to the edge as I only have a 3 axis machine.
I have artcam, ecabinets and autocad. I'm thinking the thickness may be an issue as well. I may have to move my spindle up higher if that's possible and get a 4" long bit. The only thing I've seen...
I've been asked to build a circular sign with a 3" radius quarter round edge.
How is the best way to program cutting that edge since there's no such thing as a 3" radius router bit.
I'm...
Has anyone been able to use the edge profile feature of ecabinets and cut it out with the link on a shop bot?
I had a similar problem, couldn't figure it out. Then one day the "Y" axis limit switch sensor broke in half. So I'm thinking that the sensor itself was causing the false limit switch alerts.
Just to let you all know, running the file from Thermwood and write protecting the file afterwards has solved the problem.
Gary, No I didn't port the old settings to the new computer, I just re-entered all my settings manually. But thanks for that info.
Michael, Yes that's the error I'm getting. Thanks for the...
After moving to a new computer, every time I re-boot I get an error message when trying to load a new cutting file with the link. The message is Crypt something or other. To fix it I have to delete...
I've been getting mine from www.rbtoolsupply.com/ as well. Last time I called them they said they had a harder version that's supposed to last twice as long as their standard carbide. I do find...
That worked! Thanks again for the quick response.
I just built a new computer with a Gigabyte B75M-D3H motherboard to run the shopbot. It's not finding the Shopbot, I've tried all the USB ports to no avail.
What process should I go thru to...
I just wanted to say thanks for the offer of help and your frequent and prompt response to issues we all have.
I'm still running with the custom cut files you set up for me a few years back...
The new version clobbered my custom cut files, thought I had copied them back. I tried again and it's working now.
Funny thing was I tried to go back to the 3.6.44 version and it wouldn't...
