Re: Cutting 16 ft Stringers on a Shopbot 4896

Re: Vibrateing & looseing steps

Re: question about motor drives
Mine is wired with the dB25.

Re: question about motor drives
The last couple weekends I've spent a lot of time cutting. My motors (driven by 203's) barely get warm. I believe they are 7 amp motors.

Re: Help with Gecko 203v on Acorn, retrofitting old ShopBot.
Mine is 14-15 years old... It's always had limit switches, but as far as I know there's never been software travel limits in the SB control software. And I do recall some folks using their limit switches to home their machine on startup, but I never did. Bottom line is my old SB has done some really...
