That's good info. I was about to upgrade to an ATC... I think I will hold off on that for a while...

Any local steel person should be able to help you with the assistance of Brian....

Good for you Scott. I hope it serves you and teaches you like my original PRT taught me. I am now on my 4th ShopBot and am about to expand it with the help of ShopBot tech support- to make it...

You could probably search Gary Campbell here or on Youtube. (see this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDlRTOG9B4M ). You can adapt the concept to your own needs.

Too cheap! Someone needs to snap up that deal

This is a photo of the contactors in my alpha control box. (Two contactors mounted side by side) This is over the stepper controllers and to the right side of the cabinet. The positioning in your...

First: be sure your bit is high enough to move over any obstruction. Then: Type "J2" (NO QUOTATION MARKS!) This tells the machine you want to Jog 2 axes. Then SB3 will move your cursor to the next...

Depending on the era and equipment, it could be the contactor. And electromagnetic contactor whose coil is getting weak can hum or chatter and will eventually kill the contactor. I run some high...

That is not the PRS format. This is a PRT or some similar PR model. Not that is is overly important, but you don't want to mis-characterize the item you are selling

Wait a cotton picking minute! There is a box gadget? I am using Aspire 9.5 and I don't have a box gadget! I painstakingly modded and modded and modded some box jinted boxes (similar to the table)...

Doesn't look like anyone has a solid answer for you. I would tell you that those machines were set up with PC 3.25HP routers, which are roughly the same weight as a spindle. I have a PRS Alpha,...

Yes. If you are not doing some super secret, proprietary, national or internationally significant project.... the customer has no reason to demand that you can not keep a scrap book of your work! ...

I do not know why your PP is "MTC"... is that necessary? I use SB Arc inch PP even when I am using my indexer. And the 5th axis should NOT be getting any move signal (B axis) unless your machine...

I like the table of cedar(?) tree rings. Great use of the rings! Are you going to take it further or is this its final stage?

Brian! WOW. That one is a wonderful creation! Your talent is showing! Keep posting, we love your work!

Scott- You do lovely work! And offer up good advice, too. Keep posting! You make me want to do more interesting work!!!

I sure hope so. They are good folks and we enjoy being in their company a great deal.

I think I want to do a big sign that says Shield Ranch and maybe the year the ranch was established in their...

Here are the three of them, with the first coat of poly on them. It is going down to 25 degrees overnight, so it is not likely to cure very swiftly in a relatively un-heated building!

I made these cabin plaques for a friend's ranch property. I have cut them and put the first coat of sealer on them. I will get a few coats of sealer on and then I will spray them black to fill the...

You guys can make your own dust shoe as easily as buying one.... just find a design or create one that looks good to you. I would send you my design but it is (1) designed for a spindle and you both...

That is easy. It only takes loosening 4 bolts on either side of the gantry to allow the motors to disengage from the rack. Then gently roll to an end and have some very strong helpers...

I have been doing a lot of work in white oak lately. I have often used a Hartlauer 52-180h (2 flute, spiral, upcut) for work in wood, aluminum, plastics... I tend to ramp in a spiral manner with a...
