I've got a job and they require some MDF letters cut to create a mold for a concrete slab pour. But am needing some advice on the best angle for mold release.
The 100-150mm high letters will made...
Lasers are much cheaper in America to purchase than Australia :(
I paid just over $20000 for my 40w Epilog. It's great and I went with Epilog due to the support and reliability compared to cheaper...
I love my SSD laptop. Boots up in mere seconds and I know it won't be sucking in all the dust due to being a fanless drive.

Hi Michael, I work with Camphor Laurel all the time. It cuts great on the Shopbot. If you need some just let me know, I've got a fair bit of it that I bought as a bulk purchase a couple of years ago....
In the end I just moved my 0,0 closer to the proximity switch. Once it was under 250mm it worked fine. I will have to get hold of shopbot support again and ask them what is happening. As I need a...
Hi, I was on the phone last night to shopbot tech support as I'm having issues with the latest software version of SB3.
I have found an issue where it wasn't performing the C3 command correctly....
Thank you for all the replies. Here is what Shopbot Support said about the issue..
I guess the positive side of things is that at least my spindle isn't an issue. I have changed from...
My Shopbot seems to be making a very annoying high pitch sound when cutting. It has nearly always make this sound since I purchased it. Just trying to find out if this is normal?
Here is a video...
Just got off the phone to Frank at Shopbot Support. He provided a screenshot of the spindle control folder that needs to be deleted in regedit to fix the run time error 13.
I thought I'd post this...
Hi, Due to an issue where all my Custom commands were deleted (no idea how this occurred), I reloaded 3.8.6.
All went good until trying to start the spindle control. I get a run-time error '13'...
Well I was cutting using 3.8.6 today and yes it seemed faster but that might have just been changes to the default settings. Was it worth the downtime and phone calls in the middle of the night to...
Good news. I've been on the phone to Frank at tech support. It had him stumped also but in the end what he suggested was to update to the beta 3.8.7 instead of 3.8.6.
Once that was successful, I...
I reverted back to 3.6. But when running sb3 it can't find the shopbot. Tried everything and only by attempting a firmware update was the shopbot appearing again. It says the firmware is now 202.

Hi, I took the plunge and upgraded to 3.8. That went fine but now I'm having issues when trying to update the firmware. I follow the instructions. Everything seems fine until it downloads the...
No worries Brady :) Sorry I must of read your post a different way and missed the sarcasm. I guess us Aussies are currently pretty sensitive on pricing. As we seem to get price gouged by overseas...
That sounds like something a parent would say to their child when purchasing their first car. I'm pretty sure we are not all naive teenagers and know that Onsrud are listing them due to various...
I've bought hundreds of bits from them off ebay. And being in Australia I get around the postage issue by using Shipito. At one stage I was able to get solid carbide spiral downcut 7/32 bits for $4...
The normal MDF you can compost and the formaldehyde breaks down completely. Not sure about the Moisture resistant stuff. There have been scientific testing to confirm the formaldehyde does break down...
In Toolpath operations there is an icon called Tile Toolpaths. That lets you tile your jobs between the x or y axis. This is available in Partworks and Aspire.

Wow Melissa your work is simply amazing. I too would be willing to pay to see more of your videos.

I export the PVC file into Aspire and it creates the SBP file automatically. I don't need to modify the file at all.

I just tried to setup a Ad Hoc network between the laptop and my Samsung Galaxy S3. No go. I couldn't get them to see each other.
Now I'm getting an Alert error on the phone... "Network_ERR:...

Hi Graeme, I'll take another look at it tomorrow and see if it is my network connection that is causing the issues. It may be trying to use the house wifi and with the shopbot and laptop in the shed...
