    Default The day is at hand to pick up my bot!!!!

    After getting the bit, pouring concrete, ordering software (V Carve), learning the control software and finding a used machine. It all comes together this weekend!!! I drive this weekend to pick up my PRT96. HOORAYYYYYYYYYY!!!
    Wish me luck and be ready for questions.
    Thanks

    Blue side up? huh... you mean the big gantry goes on the bottom? It did seem odd having to keep the plywood pressed in place until the vacs would hold it up. :-)

    I made it. Kept Blue side up even. Went smooth, the table has 4 harbor freight trailer jacks on it, crank up and go. 1607.5 miles round trip. Going to take my time cleaning setting up, and etc.. just want to make sure it is all ready when I turn on the power.
    Thanks everyone,

    Gerald,

    A TRUE botter would have been cutting on the trip back. I'm dissapointed you didn't let someone else drive while you loaded up some files and got some work done during your down time. :-)

    I'm sure you wanted to!

    Enjoy and let us know how it goes.

    LOL - Watch those potholes! I can picture some of you guys out on the trailer while rolling down the highway. "Gotta...load...file.."

    Keep the "Search Forum" link handy, Gerald. Many of the questions you'll have are already answered right here.

    Good luck.

    Gerald,
    Make sure you replace the bearings in the trailer jack wheels before making another trip like that.

    Geez, I bet they were really whizzing around! Good idea to avoid chuck holes and speed bumps too...

    GOOD LUCK with your new toy!
