I am Having trouble Zeroing my drill. I am using the oem Drill Offset.sbp PROgram. It work find up to the point where it should ask me which drill #1-4 Right before that question It just end. I download a new file from shopbot site and still the same problem. I can zero the x and y with no problem but can't sen to zero the bit to the table. I have a prsalpha. Can anyone help?

Frank,

This is one to call ShopBot tech support on. I had this issue and they walked me through what was wrong. Can't remember now though. Ryan or Frank, at ShopBot Tech, should be able to get you going pretty quick.

Check line 38 in drill offset file.
Add an apostrophe before the line
It should work
I had the same problem when I installed the latest SB control software

Thank Erminio Marrese. I am not that good with software code. BUt that look like that is the problem. I will try it again In the morning.

OK The comma worked. It now asks for the drill #1 thru #4. So I but in one and the drill go down and zero and keep trying to go down. I have to hit the space bar or stop button to get it to stop. Yes the ground is good. If I touch the plate to the bit the light –light up showing good contact. I know it in the software but I am not good at doing software. Can someone help?
Thank

Again I had the same problem.
Not sure what the actual problem is but after repeating drill zeroing it worked fine.
Try turning off the Sb control software or even control box to reset
