How are the LaserBuzz products working for you?

I've been using dry Moly on the racks for a few years now and there is no wear that I can see.

You seem to have covered most of the usual suspects but over-tightening a collet can bend / distort it and cause it to fail.

I've worn out 4 PC routers over the past 15 years. Even with replacing them with new it's less expensive than a spindle. Bit the spindle is much quieter, has more power, and has less run out.

As you are demoing the machine I would recommend an acrylic box to go around the machine so that inquisitive fingers do not get turned into hamburger.

If you go back to 3.6.44 you will also need to reload the earlier version of the firmware onto the control box.

McMaster Carr ships to Canada. What they will not do is ship to a residential address. Like one of the above mentioned , If you need something you can find only through them have someone with a...

I had a similar issue a few years ago and the issue was the control software. What version of ShopBot control software are you running?

The PC router claims to be 3.25 Hp but on a very good day it maxes out at about 1.6 Hp. You should do fine with 2.2 (real) Hp on the spindle.

As the difference is consistent regardless of the size of the part the problem is not the Unit Values as these would give larger differences with larger moves.

Your drawing shows that the part...

If you run the job in preview mode you should be able to tell where the top is on the flipped door.

If the Bot is "ALWAYS" 0.020" short in Z then just tell it that the Z-zero plate is 0.020" thicker than it is currently set to. Problem solved.

I usually use an appropriately sized paint roller for flat areas. No masking required. And they usually cost a bit less than $35.00 USD.

If it's in good shape with a spindle or low time router and has a Shopbot steel frame then that sounds about right for value. If it's worth $7K to you is another thing altogether.

Start with quartersawn wood and carve into the edge grain. The part "may" be straightened by machining the other side of the wood. The board you started with had some stresses in it, when you...

Randy;

A Shopbot with a PC spindle and dust collector is about 4 - 5 X as loud as a table saw. With a HSD spindle and dust collector it is about 2 - 3 X as loud as the table saw. My router, with...

The detail has good contrast and the chosen fonts are easy to read and the sign is fairly "open". The only issue I can see is a wee bit of kerning could be done between the "u" and "e", and the "a"...

I would be interested in the Toronto Ontario region.

From the steps on the side of the carving it looks like only the Amana is actually 60 degrees, everything else is not.

4.27 - 130.48 not too bad
