    Default need technician

    I need a cnc router technician that can help me finalize my set up of a shop bot that we bought used. It is all physically set up, just need final software and all installed. Does anyone know of anyone in the Wichita, KS area??

    What software do you need if nit is the Shopbot control software you can download it from the Shopbot web site. We can walk you through the steps if need be.

    lareina,
    Shopbot maintains a list of shopbot owners who are willing to give demo's of their units for a sales fee. It is possible that some of those same people would be willing to make a "service call". I would suggest you call Shopbot and ask if there are anyone of those demonstrators close that you could contact.

    in your area I would see if I could contact Gary Beckwith. I am not sure if Gary still has a ShopBot, but he is VERY knowledgeable with the ShopBots and CNC in general.

    Your shopbot should have come with a manual. If not you can download it off of the web. It has an excellent section that holds your hand a tells you step by step how to get it running and how to surface your spoil board.

    If you are going to get anything out of your tool eventually you are going to have to learn something about the workings and the control software. This is a perfect time to do it!

    The folks on this forum are one of the best resources on the internet.

    Last night I talked her through the loading of the software and firmware we did get it to move and jog home but she is having problems with the e stop triggering. It is an PRSAlpha with 2 heads and my machine is a standard woth one head so I wasn't sure about the e stop. I told her to call Shopbot to get the e stop worked out and said to post any more problems here.
