I bought a ShopBot last August to help with productivity in my shop. So far it has slowed my productivity to a crawl and has been a large black hole for money spent for software and accessories. Upon re-evaluating my decision to purchase a ShopBot I have came to the conclusion that I made and have persisted in a mistake. The mistake was/is that I do not, nor do I want to, make a living as a CAM/CAD/programming/machining operating professional. I make a living building acoustic musical instruments. I have spent way to many hours trying to learn software and programming when what I need to do is get on with earning my normal living. I have decided I need someone to program these files for me. Can anyone suggest someone who can do this type of work? I can supply blueprints and/or parts to be reverse engineered.
Additional note: I was told I could buy a probe that would program files from the parts I have hand built. However, I have found the files produced with a probe to be full of mistakes and redundancies. I have spent countless hours editing these probed files.
