I just replaced the stopper motors on my PRT and have the X,Y,Z steppers and 2 Steppers Shopbot sold for the rotary (I think that they have 7.5/1 gearing. I would like to get $150 plus...
I still have this probe. http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/showthread.php?26002-Shopbot-Digitizing-Probe&highlight=probe
Go to https://www.shopbottools.com/support/control-software and you should find the control software you need. Hopefully you can reload Partworks from the disk you have. You can email or call Shopbot...
I have a 2001 PRT which I bought new after having a used PR. My Sb got me into CNC and changed my business and manner of working completely. At the time it was a cnc machine I could afford. I love my...
PRTs made a horrible growling sound when the x and y axis were going simultaneously. It sounds like something must be wrong but relax. All is as it should be.
I don't think (looking at the description from the link) that it is a 15160. This probe has two wire and not three and the connectors are as pictures. I did find what seems to be a 1/16" stylus and...
I purchased a used PR for about $2300 in the late 90's (the 1990's) and my PRT in 2001 when Shopbot's advertising offered a full size Cnc for under $5000. I build furniture and have used it to some...
I have an older style digitizing probe which I haven't used in a while. I am asking $150 which includes shipping.
It came off of my PRT 60 X 96 so it should work. You can call Shopbot and ask them how to verify that it will work but I am pretty sure that it will work.
I have a Prt control box with the 4g upgrade. It has 5 drivers (one was used for an indexer). It will be available by the end of the week. I am asking $750 for it. I also have a Shobot...
I can’t open those now but if they came from the shopbot website they are all for indexers with tool changers.
I need an indexer post processor for Aspire which wraps the Y Axis. The one I have says it will wrap either the X or Y but there seems no place to choose the axis. I have not used the rotary since...
Joe was a font of knowledge and was generous in sharing it. I was thinking about him a few months ago and wondering how he was. RIP
Sepp Gold Leaf, https://seppleaf.com, in NYC is one of the premier sources for gold leaf and supplies. Their website has some tutorials. Michaels and others sell imitation gold leaf which is copper...
This might be the setup that Curtiss mentioned. I never liked the tap with hammer technique. This has worked great for years. http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=34765&stc=1
Last week I began getting a similar message, "a Axis out of range", (I think). I have nothing on the A. My rotary is on the B axis and after talking with SB support I just turned off A. The command...
Thanks. VN and unsplicine the new sensor did it.
Scott,
Thanks so much for your help. I will call SB later today. You have been very helpful. It has been a while since I sent the machine into the proximity switches (not counting zeroing} that I...
Thanks Scott. I would never have thought of that but unfortunately it does not seem to give me the Z axis option for my PRT. I guess I need to call SB. If you or anyone els has some ideas, I am...
I just added a proximity switch on the Z axis of my PRT. I spliced it into the wires from the Y axis Proximity switch. All of the prox switches seem to work fine and show the correct input being...
I am reverting to my old pp. line 3 has an apostrophe followed by a line of underlines. I thought that the new pp that Aspire seemed to be herding me to was needed for Aspire 11 but I guess not. It...
I am having issues with the new pp, Shopbot TC (Arcs)(Inch))(*.sbp). I get an error at the start for line 3('__________). Pressing ok runs the file followed by the error, "Could not correct the...
Blow out the keyboard or, as suggested, try a new keyboard.
That’s similar to my table. I use round weatherstripping from Home Depot - cheap and works great.
