Hey Scott,
Thanks for your input!

I didn't realize that the Spindle Control was a separate exe file. I ran it on our 2nd machine and it adjusted the speed perfectly.

Later, when we have a bit...

Hey,
I recently installed a 4hp HSD spindle on our PRT Standard machine. We're using the original control box. It is a pre-version 4 board.

This means that I cannot use the newest shopbot...

Thanks for taking a look Dana,

First a few notes on the Tests. Woodcut is opposed to Aircut.
We're trying to totally cease production so we didn't run each test exhaustively. The succeed in Test...

Hey,
I know this is a common problem, and I apologize for adding one more post about this, but I need a hand figuring out a lost communication issue.

I have two ShopBot machines. We're using...

Well I tried your advice Paul and Brady

- Did a few long air cuts and wiggled the cords - no issues
- Tapped on the box (it's awfully solid, but I tried anyways) - no issues

Well, I'm reaching my whits end. We run two shopbots at my shop and one of them is driving me insane.

It keeps losing communication. When I get it back online, the location is off. I know this is...

Check your Value->Ramp settings. We had a similar problem- somehow VR got opened and the values set to their minimums. So every time the machine made a direction change it slowed waaay down. Burned...
