Not at all. Happy to be persuaded :) I searched the site for ER20, but failed to find that one - only found collets. Bookmarked for next time!

Thanks. Mr Burkhardt. Unfortunately they don't have an ER20. A shame. Reasonable price.
Yes, thanks to all for your thoughts and comments. Very helpful. Will report back once I have had a chance...
I imagine '100 hours' is a worse case scenario (and maintaining best condition). A bit like luxury car maintenance replacing certain things (globes) at specific intervals to avoid unexpected failure....
The Desktop collet is ER20. Examining the top of the bit, it has striations around it. I guess it's time to bin it. It's been my favourite profile cutout bit for a long time. I guess it's past it's...
I have the ShopBot Desktop with Z height kit added with a spindle (not router).
For some time now I've had issues when performing a profile cutout. It's somewhat erratic, but on occasions the bit...
I concur completely. Dianne will be missed. Always helpful and a credit to the company. Sorry to see you go, Dianne.

Yep, that's my app - a few fellow 'botters are using it.
I'd have trouble maintaining that position, Scott. But I admire your determination.

With Keith Larrett's assistance, a new version of the server software is available today.
The purpose of the update is to correctly handle the C1 command for auto-tool changers.
There is no...
Will do, Joe,
Yep, all I need to do is replicate all the ShopBot control software functionality on an iPad app... I can see my future retirement will be very busy :rolleyes::p
Hi Tim,
I'll have to look into the information I can access when a tool change is required.
The file complete notification is difficult because I can't actually read a job progress value from...
Hi Jerry,
I assume your tablet is an Intel-based one. Do you run other standard Windows software on it? If so, I can build a version for you to try out. Are you happy to be a guinea pig for me?
...
Thanks for the feedback. One the one hand. pleased to hear it. Regarding the monitor, I'll look into it. Disappointing. Amazing how everything always works in testing ;)
Has anyone else had a...
Thanks, Brady,
And thanks for suggesting I write a little more about it. The second time around was possibly more frustrating than the first product. Getting the job progress into the app taught...
Hi Davo,
As I mentioned above, the reliability of its behaviour has a lot to do with the speed of your wireless network. For example, when your finger presses a button to move the gantry,...
Overview
As explained above, the purpose of the remote software is to allow various commands to be issued from a mobile device to the ShopBot control software to drive your Shopbot CNC. The device...
I wrote the ShopBot In Control Remote software a couple of years ago. It allowed you to perform various ShopBot-related activities on a mobile device.
A few months ago I was informed that one of...
Really nice work. I'm sure it was appreciated.
Graeme
I'm going easy on you, Scott. Wouldn't want to scare you off before I arrive :D However, if the bar is raised to live lobsters in the bed (thoughts of The Godfather), you'd better watch out.
Yep, that pesky day job always gets in the way. I think from planning to production of this was at least two and a half months.
Given up roller blading? Now I just run in the boots instead of...
Two DXF files - one for the frame and the other for the aluminium wheel supports.
Thanks, Brady.
I love the fact that I can make so many tings with a CNC - always satisfying. But, yes, there's a different kind of satisfaction making a tool for a tool.
Graeme
Scott,
No - not red gum - the frame is made of ply-wood - just joking, I don't know what the wood is. It arrived in a mixed lot I bought - no identification. As good as I am with many woods, this...
Needed a steady rest for my Shopsmith lathe for some larger pieces I'm planning to turn. How great to be able to make the frame and aluminium supports entirely with the Shopbot.
