I'm curious if anyone in Illinois or the St. Louis, Mo area is using a ShopBot in their shop. I bought a used one this summer and want to talk to someone close to home that can share ideas, tips and advice. I've been practicing on small projects and making samples before I switch to a spindle motor which will be more accurate and quieter.
Also needing to find some Aspire users for 3D file creation. This is a learning curve that I am currently studying! I am really eager to learn all that I can and would appreciate any help on this journey into 3D world.
It will slow down at my shop in January and I will have more time to focus on the ShopBot. Time to challenge myself and learn something new.
Having fun so far, but wanting to push it to the extreme with 3D pieces.
Sign-cerely, Steve

And there will be a camp Mc Grews in SC in March. And there may be a cnc Aspire camp in Grand Rapids MI soon as well.

Yes, I am doing some preliminary work to host a Aspire and cnc camp here. I have the facility and the time.
I guess its time to get after it and just get one going here in Grand RApids.

I do know someone with shopbot and very successful but probably still using signlab; Steve, let me know if you need that connection out of Chicagoland.

The members of the forum are not prejudiced against users of other machines (much) and are willing to answer any question you wish to ask (except job pricing - that seems to be a sore point there).

Thanks Guy. I have already signed up to the forum and getting my questions ready to ask. I am reading a lot of the posts which may eliminate some of my obvious newbie questions.
I appreciate the help.
Sign-cerely, Steve
