Hey everyone,

Thanks for the responses. Jack, I've had similar experiences in the past and like you I've since got out of the habit of writing down the line number when I get an error message in...

Good morning everyone,

Ive been having some issues with the latest control software update. Most annoyingly, when I stop a file in the middle of a cut, often a error message comes up and I have...

Which silicone product would you recommend? Thanks for the input everyone by the way.

Hey everyone,

I have a quick question on a sign I'm currently making. It's an exterior sign that is roughly 20x30 and I need to attach PVC letters to a wood (cedar) backing. I'm planning on...

Hey everyone,

I've found a few posts through the forum on engraving marble, but I was wondering about cutting through marble and/or pocketing into it. I've got a PRSAlpha machine with a 5hp...

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll tinker with our spindle a bit to see if I can eliminate the ridges and I'll look further into other bits in the 66-300 series.

Hey everyone,

I'm having some issues with tooling marks when pocketing into aluminum composite. I'm using an Onsrud 66-315 which is designated as a bottom surfacing bit, but still having issues...

Thanks for the input guys. Brady, let me ask you this, the tab that you are talking about is this a part of the acrylic or is it separate piece that you attach to the back of the acrylic...is so...

Hello everyone,

I've got a project that involves aluminum composite cut letters that are attached to an acrylic backing that needs to be hung. Right now our brainstorming has led us to cables...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. After testing out several ideas we've decided to approach it per Steve and Don's suggestions...half on the machine half manually. We now realize what is...

Hey everyone,

I have a PRSAlpha and I'm having difficulty aligning circular cuts on both sides of a sheet of MDF. The process thus far has been cutting the circles on one side, setting a jig to...

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to order these and test them out. I'll let you know what the results are.



Thanks again,

Bill,

Is this Apoxie Sculpt ideal/economical for entire wall panels? I see it being used on models, figurines, statues. I'm going for the semi-gloss or gloss look of fiberglass on this foam. ...

I've found a few threads similar to what I'm looking for, but I wanted to ask specifically for my application. I have a 3D surface that will ultimately be a wall panel that I carved with my PRS...

Drawing boundaries in Aspire sufficed for isolating the 3D cutting area. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Steve the larger straight bit suggestion worked out for our angle, really appreciate...

Great info everyone. I'll try the creating a boundary method tomorrow and let you know if there are any hiccups.


Thanks so much,

Steve,

Thanks for the response. I'm familiar with the process you are describing, but let's say I have a sloped surface that ramps up into a flat surface, when I import just the sloped surface...

Hello everyone,

I've got a 3D model in Rhino that is relatively large (6.5' x 1'-6" roughly) that has a significant amount of 2D cutting and a small portion of 3D cutting. I generally use an 1/8"...

The boards have been surfaced 2 sides (top and bottom in relation to the table). The average width is 6.25". This is the first time I've heard of trammeling the Z, could you explain please?

...

We are using a vacuum hold down system with additional screw down. It does seem to be the vibration of the material as we have replaced the collet and collet nut multiple times. Would making more...

Yes, upcut broke as well.

Our machine is a PRSAlpha with a Columbo spindle. We replaced the collet every time a bit broke inside of the collet. We ran those feeds and speeds by onsrud and shopbot and they said that they...

We are working on a project involving poplar boards and we are having issues with our onsrud 57-910 1/4" downcut bits breaking on multiple occasions. We've talked to onsrud a few times and verified...
