Guys is this the best option for a PRT with a Spindle? My original one that came with my SB is starting to break.

I cut a lot of plywood and I noticed that a lot of **** gets hung up at the...

I used a 1/4" Amana 2 flute spiral upcut bit @ 120ipm, 15k rpm and an 1/8" Amana spiral upcut bit @...

Joe,

Yep. Got them from SB. They weren't cheap. Like 3k.

I've upgraded my PRT Alpha X and Y rails to the hardened rails so I'm posing on here to see if anyone has any interest in the old ones. They still have racks mounted to them since my new ones came...

Looking for a Shopbot link for e cabs.

Joe,

In the process of changing my 2006 PRT cable management to e chain. Can you post a couple pics of your setup and how the e chain from Amazon attached together? TIA

Thanks for the info everyone!

I had a chance to go to Chesapeake Light Crafts webpage.

I did also look at Scott's link with one made from foam. I hadn't thought of that either!

When...

I was thinking it would be a lot of fun to make a paddle board.

Anyone ever made one? Wondering if anyone has plans/drawings?

Gary,

So I got it figured out. At the bottom of my Unit Values in my new software, the Z Res Multiple was set to 4. In my old PC if was set to 1. I stopped at the shop this morning and changed...

Gary,

I did look and my previous PC was setup for 20t pinions. I've never changed them. I tried looking at my screen shot of my new PCs settings to compare when I got home last night but...

Looking for an aTC spindle setup for my shopbot. Also would be interested in other upgrades for my PRT style machine.

Gary,

No I have not. I've been doing some casual SB manual reading about this though. What would the values change to for the 10:1 motor? X and Y values are set to 1273.2395 (for 25 tooth...

I found this thread just exactly what I needed to read after a PC and SB3 software update. I'm still having problems with my Z axis being wrong though. When I run a C2 and zero with my plate, it...

So I just upgraded our control PC to a new one. Windows 10. Meh.

Anyways. 2006 PRT Alpha. explor control board. Everything seems to be working. But when I zero wth my x axis with my zero...

Can black vipers tweaks be used in 10? Also, what's the benefit of using a powered hub between the PC and the bot?

I was thinking about that today as I had to follow my fan wire back to my control box.

Tom at Shopbot and I figured out that my SEV spindle wires back to the shopbot control box and not the...

Interesting, I'm not entirely sure mine runs non stop on my PRT alpha. Now I can hear the bearings a little bit of I turn my spindle by hand when it's off. To test the spindle fan, is there a...

Did you guys get replacement fans directly from shopbot? When running the spindle, should the fan be constantly on or does it kick on and off as needed? I'm trying to figure out if my spindles fan...

I'm just also going to throw this out there for what its worth...

My computer running my bot is older. AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 986MHz. Ram is just under 2 gigs. Running SB3 on...

Scott,

So I think I accidentally deleted the information file that told me what line to attempt to run from because I actually had those values set to record.

My file has 1.4 million lines of...

I just have to say thanks again everyone for all the input! This forum has been so great over the last few years getting to know my Bot.

At some points I get so frustrated when I get comm errors,...

As it turns out I don't have VCP. I set up my bot to carve overnight and about 60% through my file I got a missing comm error. I'm so bummed out. I normally don't have issues with that since I...
