Thanks Scott and Kyle! I think my problem is similar to what you had, but your suggestion started a chain reaction that I believe has found the cause of my fault. For the last five years or so I...

in the pendant? Did you have a hard time getting it to reset and engage the contactors?

Any of you guys ever had a problem with this fault stopping machine without Estop being hit? But what is worse than that is that I can not get the reset button to re-engage the relay on the board....

It's ridiculous that I have just now got a chance to reply to this, but so it goes.

I am running version 3.6.10

This is a continuation of the recent problems I have been having(http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18318), but they are intermittent and hard for me to nail down.

I seem to be losing steps in Y axis. After the last tool stop button warning, I restarted and had a misalignment in y after i picked back up. here are some pics

The problem happened mid-toolpath, and then got faster, then slower, then faster. I am certain there is no feedrate changes in that portion. I think you can see it in the youtube links. Speed was...

Jack- I have compared the toolpath code and there is no feedrate changes in the file, just an initial setting.

something caused the lag/chnage of feedrate.

I feel like the y -.1" stepover was...

just pwered off control box to take a look at lights on the drivers. after the restart the reset button is working.

I am going to try to run the finish pass again, but still eager to hear...

okay, now it is letting me attach. I hope

okay, so last night I started cutting a 8' long piece of HDU "trim". It is two 2" thick pieces epoxied together. I have the stock aligned with the X axis. I roughed the stock along x axis and...

Has anybody used VisualMILL or RhinoCAM with their indexer?

Also, anybody who built up their own version of the 6" indexer have a ballpark number of what it cost? SB is $3075 and am told by Diana...

I have a 12" Z so I am pretty sure I can do the 6 no problem.

on a scale of 1-10, what kind of a hassle is setting up an indexer. I have a job making a mold for a baluster that is a 7" diameter about 32 long. I can pretty much cover the cost of the 6" indexer...

Thanks guys

I am a bit torn. At first I did not like the idea of gorilla glue because of the expansion, and I was thinking there had to be a product specifically for this, and then Robert...

Hey any of you guys have a suggestion as to the best adhesive to laminate two pieces of 2" sign foam with that will machine well when 3D surfaced across the lamination?

thanks in advance

I find that the only downside to festools is not think about the cost of Festool. It's tough to do. It's best when you have a buddy, preferably the woodworker with the shop across the hall who has...

Sorry I failed to mention in this post that I don't have artCAM or aspire. I am looking for help from someone who does.

I had this on another thread, but thought maybe it would get more attention as it's own posting.

I would like to get a price on having 15 custom font letters prism'd.

Can you export STL out of aspire?

I can't because I do not have aspire. Would you want to give me a price for doing this to 15 custom letter forms?

kinda. I want to make the male inlay piece. but it doesn't get inlayed until a material is cast around it. I should have maybe mentioned that the letter forms are around 15" tall. I want to cut a...

see above comment...

This is probably something artCAM does well, huh?

You can prism any closed vector right? Can you constrain max z height? and keep ridge without any flats?

If I'm right,...

Thanks guys for all the suggestions.

have any of you done much reverse v carving?( I guess this is what I would call it)

Imagine cutting a v groove then pressing clay into the void, has anybody...
