I have been following these posts for a while now and have been really impressed with the way you help each other. I hope down the road , I will have the answers for others. Resently I bought a 2009, 96X60 PSR alpha with a 2hp single phase spindle. It came with Aspire v2 and Partworks. It also came with 2 new Fien vacumes. I have several questions that i'm hoping to get help with. On the software, is there anything that Partworks can do that Aspire can't? Or should I install and use both.
I am planning to set up a vacumetable. I saw an article a while back that covered the proccess they used with pictures and details. I believe they set up with 5 zones (one was 12"x the length of the machine), to use for lumber etc.. I have been trying to locate that info and can't find it. I'm hoping someone can direct me to it or maybe have a better idea. I would like to have the option of using a vacume table or a clamp system.
I was also hoping to get some input on the recomended size of the wood table(96x60 or ?). I don't know if there are reasons to make it bigger for clamping or something else.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for any input.
