Sold! I was hoping it was that simple. The video on their website shows them using the router to drill out the nails - to show how harmless it is, I'm sure.

Thanks

I like this product. How do you remove the work piece after routing?

I saw that the calendar had been update for 2015 and included the GA event. I thought it was a nice feature - one place to quickly find events without having to search through a thread. I'm sorry...

Will the Calendar be updated? I only see 2007-2013.

Hi Bill,

Sounds like a road trip may be in order. My partner and I actually trailer camp a lot in your area. I'll try to talk her into a pit stop if you and I can arrange a time. Any nice lakes...

I would like to meet other shopbot owners in my area (Sonoma and Napa Counties) who would allow me to visit their shops to check things out.

Also, does anyone in my area offer training either in...

Thanks Scott. I was thinking that very thing when I set my drink down right behind the VFD.

Oh, there's clutter. There's barely room to walk through the other half of the room.

Well, after several tangents I finally have the basic cabinet together. No drawers or wings yet, but it's coming along. I have a temporary shelf for the laptop and I like the placement. No excuse...

Success!

After much frustration I am finally getting relatively smooth cuts in Cherry and Walnut. The down side is I don't know what I was doing wrong to begin with. I fiddled around with feed...

Thanks Joe. I went to ACE Hardware yesterday and bought some of their heavy duty, indoor/outdoor carpet tape that Brady recommended. Before that, I used some double-sided tape I had on hand which...

Thanks everyone. As Scott mentioned, I've only had the Desktop for eight days. Today is the third full day I've had to work with it. My "real job" is seriously interfering with my time in the...

I hope I'm not already in danger of wearing out my welcome, but I have a question about cut quality in hardwoods. Until today, I've been practicing on various grades of Pine and found a better cut...

I'm still not clear on what the problem with the file was - most likely it was repeated user error. I do know the file had the z zero set to the bottom of the material, though I don't know why. ...

Thank you to everyone for your assistance. I now have a nice flat surface to work with, a bit more understanding of how things work, and a huge appreciation for the folks at Shopbot and in this...

Frank - I reloaded the default settings (ShopBot_PRSDesktop2418), as you advised, and ran the Surfacing Tool again. In preview it still shows it will cut to the metal deck.

I have designed and...

Roger - That sounds great. Any pictures?

I may opt for the smaller enclosure they sell as an accessory, but I like the idea of building my own.

Hi Bill and Adrian - thanks for getting back to me. Here's the full code, I think:


Runfile:
MZ,1
M3,0,0,1
SO,1,1
Pause 2
VC,1.25,,,,, 5
CR,24, 18, T, 1, 4,-0.01,1,2,1

I got my Desktop this afternoon, got it all set up and successfully ran my first file. Yay!

I needed to run the surfacing routine and followed the instructions for using the "Table Surfacer"...

I see your point. The wings will be down most of the time.

Working on the basic cabinet this afternoon - no wings, no drawers. It's in Chicago today, scheduled to be here Wednesday. Feels an...

Scott, that's a lot of good feedback and I appreciate it. Thinking more about the dust collection and your thoughts, I've decided to eventually make or buy a separate two-stage system. For now,...

Here's my first design idea. Eight drawers and a slide-out for the laptop, enclosed space for dust collection, and wings for material and finished product and to support longer pieces. It will be...

By the way, what does "Dirtbagged" the PC and the UPS mean?

Hey Scott - Thanks. Nice setup. I have very limited space in the room that will house my Desktop. In fact, my main workbench will have to go away. Functionally, your original setup would serve me...

It's mine. I have a toy business I'm trying to take from very small to small by summer. Christmas was an eye-opener in terms of what I can keep up with by hand.

There is a Buddy in the woodshop...

Thanks Kyle - a fellow teacher! I've been teaching high school mathematics for 25 years.

Do you get any extra chatter from your portable setup? Is the plexiglass for safety only, or does it...
