"Gary - will this be a software update/patch for existing CNC12 users, or a new updated version of CNC12? What is the upgrade cost for existing CNC12 users?
Thanks, David"

David...
As far as I...

Ben...
If you send me the serial number of the controller that you have I can tell you what your upgrade options are.

You can send it to my email: gcnc411@gmail.com

It's simply a package that CNC Depot is investigating. That's about all I can say about it at this time. The real answer is that no one in the know sets up an ATC without servos, or at...

David, etal.....
In the next couple months I will be working with the Centroid software development team to build/improve the Router ATC program. Actually it doesnt really need improvement in...

If you scroll down, nesting only is under $50

There may be some options for you here: CabinetPartsPro

Ryan has a stand-alone nesting program down the page that has a few limitations may be just what you are looking for.

If the OP were to have contacted me, and he didn't, I would have suggested that due to the size of the parts and especially because of the difficulties in holding parts that size, to have them cut on...

+ 1 to this advice

1) For the most part "Tiling" is a function of your design (CAM) software. It has been an integral part of Vectric products for a number of years

2) 472724

3) It may be, but I have never been...

If you wish to continue using the ShopBot Control Software, then your options are finding a used controller or purchase a new unit from ShopBot.

If you are open to other controllers there are a...

+1 to what Kevin says.... and while you're at do these real world tests:

Make a straight line cut 3-4" long with a 1/4" bit slow speed, mid-hi rpm and measure the slot to find out what diameter...

Matt...
Your assumptions are correct, but you are missing what may be the most important spec: The ability of the machine frame to withstand cutting force, i.e., deflection. This affects the...

Are you aware that no material I know of expands and contracts more with humidistatic changes than MDF? Make sure that you surface often

Vince...
Good question, but the complete answer would be longer than I care to type. Todays industrial controllers have virtually all the features, but the real magic is in how the processing takes...

There are 2 answers to this question.
One: Being very new (your words) you can benefit from both the complete package, i.e., all parts provided with few questions to answer and from the one stop...

Agreed. If you wish to put motors capable of 1/10,000th resolution on a frame capable of holding .003-.005" tolerance to cut a material (wood) that is +/- .010" (at best) to .030" (normal) after...

Not really, unless you just want to tinker with parts that cost 4 times as much. And then there is the issue of structural flex. If we are talking about an extrusion machine here, they are not...

Dan:
"I'm totally lost on what you were talking about. Is that another company that makes a cnc controller ?"

Centroid is a US based company that makes industrial controllers. (since the mid...

One other option, AVID with Centroid controller. The closed loop NEMA 34 system for AVID was our best seller for 2020-21

Plus one to Brady and Mark's comments. I have built a dual rotary machine for an individual that makes custom shotgun stocks. His claim to fame is canting the butt stock left or right off the gun...

What Jerry says is true and bears repeating.

It is much easier to swap a spindle for a router on a bolt together kit machine than on a factory assembled one. Most of the factory built machines...

The investment group that owns the Powermatic brand just purchased AXIOM:. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211004005744/en/JPW-Industries-Acquires-Axiom-Tool-Group

The last year for that style of SB frame was 2006, so it is at least 15 years old and cost no where near $25k when new. For me, and I am not a lover of bolted together extrusion machines, there is...

Keith...
Thanks for the kind words, they are appreciated. You are correct, both Brady and myself have a sincere desire that ShopBot succeeds. My first 3 machines were SB, even more for Brady. ...

CAMaster support towards those legacy machines is similar to that of ShopBot. They have very few if any parts for them anymore, but there are one or two guys that are still employed there that can...
