Thanks Scott, I've searched that myself and have never seen it either. I never really discovered the issue, until I did a 2 sided project.

The gantry on my 2014 Desktop is out of alignment. I have adjusted the spoilboard to compensate, but how do I align the gantry on an older Desktop? It’s my understanding that the”crashing” routine...
Thanks Scott,
I just surfaced my spoilboard and using a roller stand. I also plan to use indexing dowels.
I think I know the answer, but I want to reassure myself. I'll be tiling in the "y" axis with 3 tiles. I will be using 3 different bits on the project. Do I make all of the cuts on each tile? Pocket,...
Thanks Scott. I'll take your advice on the pocketing and watch the RPMs on the 4 flute.
Probe has been SOLD

Thanks Scott. I was hoping you might read my ad. If anyone knows anything about a Desktop with a spindle it's you. Thanks again, you've given me a good starting point.

Thanks Don, There are many differences in our machines. My machine tops out at 4ips, but thanks for your help.
the probe is available. I never was notified about your reply. You can email direct at tagguy@twc.com. BTW I used to live in Michigan
Yes, It is still available

I have for sale a never used, Shopbot Digitizing Probe. Lowered price $200.obo Cary,NC
I have a brand-new Shopbot Probe for sale. It's never been used, I got it when I bought my Desktop used. There are 4 probes, but no written documentation for use. (ShopBot has a tutorial online)....
Thanks for the reply, but I am using a spindle. It is maxed out at 18,000 rpms. This training said as you lower the RPMs, you actually decrease the effective power of the spindle. It can be very...
Thanks Don, I'll just have to experiment. I actually asked specifically about speed and he said your machine has it's most power at max RPMs.
I watched a training session the other day and now I'm a little confused.
I'm trying to set up my tool database with my tools. I have the chip loads recommended for those tools, but this training...
I know Shopbot says the footprint of the Desktop model is 39" in width. Does this include the control box on the gantry or is it the actual "foot print"? I have very limited are to work with.
