by the way - Aaron was super helpful at ShopBot - and the response time was about 10 minutes.

Thanks for the input. At this stage I am installing the controller software on my design computer but for some reason it is not installing correctly. I installed as a test on another W10 computer...

My ancient XP computer that ran the control software crashed badly with hard drive in such bad shape that it can't be cloned. I do not remember which update of version 3 was installed so would like...

Many thanks for the input. Unfortunately, the seller seems to be Amazon so I really have no one to ask about setup - Amazon is happy to send a new complete kit (FOC) which should arrive next week. ...

I have just received 2.2kw Chinese spindle kit which consists of a Huan Yang 2.2 kw VFD, 220volt single phase in and 3 phase out., a small submersible pump and a 2.2 kw spindle. My problem is the...

Is there anyone out there who can do the wave cut file mentioned in another thread. We have no idea how to do this - even after 18 years of Shopbot ownership. I have a picture and details of what...

Hello all -

Have been trying to get in touch again with Mark Farris. The wave wall design will work perfectly for the panel but he is apparently not getting my posts or PM's. Is there anyone...

Good morning Mark and all the best for the New Year. Don't know whether you got my last. I would like to use your cut file for the door panels if you could help me out here. I have no problem...

Mark -

Architect accepted your wave design - I copied a section of the wall and pasted it onto the panel of the elevation drawing. Would you be willing to do me a cut file based on a section of...

Spoke to architect - he want a rendering for client approval - He thinks this will work. How shall we proceed? Perhaps photoshop a panel section onto the elevation drawing? I dont want to order...

Looks like it may work. I sent it to the architect for his input. Many thanks

Agree that the 5/8" thick panel is a bit thin for the contours shown in the rendering but the door thickness mandates 5/8" panels. The panels will be epoxied onto the substrate and pressed for...

Here is the picture and drawing.

Looking for some help on a contoured African mahogany panels that the architect wants to look like stylized waves. The panels are 5/8" thick. Panels will be glued over a 3/4 marine ply panel in...

I am looking for someone to draw and toolpath some large traditional carvings on two 4' x 8' mirrors. I have full size drawings to work from and will supply same. My CAD person is snowed under and...

Quickbooks all the way.....

Great post Robert - Many thanks for sharing.

Well, add me to the group of trusting people who plunked down the $300 for the program - There is probably more than one person out there who will be annoyed enough with Mr. Toomey take a little...

This has probably been discussed before but....Just added 4 more z axis roller guides to my PRT, 1 1/2" above and below the standard locations as found in the new PRT's- The machine is now much...

We replace all of our hand held power tools about every two years and I have found that the best prices have always been on Amazon.com. We use DeWalt routers, jigsaws, random orbit and belt sanders...

We use an Amana #RC 1154, 1/2" shank x 1/2" dia. single flute replaceable carbide insert bit when cutting 1/2" marine ply and are very pleased with the cut quality and the low cost of...

We do a lot of work here with green and purpleheart - Be aware that the stuff is very very hard and will dull carbide bits very quickly - it also has a tendency to split off corners when machining -...

We do a lot of elliptical and true arch work on georgian style windows in teak, cedar, and mahogany. Have never had any problems stack laminating these - on really large work when the shop is busy I...

I am surprised to hear that very few ShopBot owners use any bits made by Amana. We use them exclusively (partly because we buy in bulk for our regular routing and get good prices). For cutting 1/2"...

The ply we will be using for the fretwork is a Brazilian marine ply, outer plies are amapa. The radii of all corners is 1/4" so we might be better off to use a 1/2" compression bit. The design is...
