My Buddy BT has the same little tick in it from the X axis also. I have tried to adjust this out from talking to ShopBot and information gotten from the Forum. But, as Brady says, there is a good...
Just to add to what others have said, the Festool track saw, mine is the smaller version, is one of the few tools I have bought that has performed as expected from day one. I also have the dust...
I know this was talked about earlier, but that really is a nice dust shoe...joe
I have a 2008 Buddy with the red label motors that look like yours. I ordered one new pinion gear and talked to ShopBot directly to make sure the order was correct. The pinion they sent me was for...
The click you hear and can feel is due to backlash in the motor gearbox. This the Oriental Tapered Hobb motor which ShopBot and others say can be adjusted, I have tried and can't seem to find the...
https://www.smslinear.com/pdfs/GuideWheelsWeb.pdf This may be of some help.. One side has non-adjustable bushings and the other has the adjustable. You would probably need to unload the Z carriage...

There is a brand new tutorial on the Vectric Portal website about using compression bits and toolpathing them. I am sure you have an account. Personally, I think 3ips @12000 rpm is a little too...

A vacuum table for my Buddy is something I would really like to have and I know it can be done, it's just my sorryness(?) that is preventing me from following through. There are several good...
Mirion, You had better call tech support. I have owned a Buddy since 2009 and am very familiar with it, but my machine, as all Buddy's at that time, was shipped fully assembled and adjusted. I...
I do use tabs, I don't have a vacuum hold down. I would like to use vacuum, but my machine (Buddy) is not a conducive to a simple vacuum table set up. But, I do a lot of two sided machining and a few...
You can add a sacrificial spoil board to your vacuum spoil board using the vacuum to hold it down and then drill into that for your dowel pins. Just make it big enough for that particular job each...
Good to hear from you again, Jack...joe
