If I measure the zplate I get .121. When I run the set up routine, I have .121 entered for the plate thickness. Is ther another location that this is entered to set the zero plane for the z axis? ...

So you think that it is the zeroing routine is off.... That makes sense and is the only thing I haven't checked. I will let you know what I find....

Ok, here is the results on my experiment. I set up the router with a 1/4" rod in a 1/4" collet for a predictable measuring surface. The shift is very consistant. I atrubute the differeence between...

I will do that experiment tomorrow......

No bit slip, motor loose or moving or set screw. gear is tight without backlash.

My zero plate it entered correctly. It is a .121

Here is an example. I zero the top of the material with the Zplate. When I enter zero into the Z adjustment table, the yellow pop up window,...

Well, I checked with Dirk and he said that it is pass thru and the values should be the same...... So that being said, any other ideas?

Hi Kenneth -

Sorry for the delay, but I was tied up.

The Motor is a Vexta and is Model # A6497-9412KTG and is driven by a Botrods controller.

Thanks,

Mark

Well, I just heard back from Shopbot tech suport and they are saying that interface board is bad. I contacted them thinking it might be a software glich. So that means that I am going to have to...

Check those and they are correct. I even rest the software and got nothing.

I only ask as to how it could be wiring ifit moves with the Shopbot software, but not the hardware?

OK, I have a real head scratcher.....

I have been completely through my system and cannont for the life of me figure out what is going on. I have a PRT96 with a Botrod G4 controller. It has a...

I'll give that a shot.... Thanks!

I have a G202 that I took out of another system and am using it to replace a driver that is on a Shopbot with a G4 upgrade. The drivers that are on the Shopbot are Rev.15. and the replacement I have...

You guys are going to love this one. I have a feeling i will be in for a long troubleshoot, but wanted to check and see if I could generate a list of test.

As I said, this is a Intermittent X...

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the input. One last question. Up cut or down cut. I alway prefer down cut just to help keep the material down, but I would like to know what you guys are doing...
