Threaded table files?

[volcom1niner17 (nick)]

Is there anyone out there that would mind sharing a their file for the inserts? I have the standard 16x16 shapeoko 3.

Does anybody have a file for the XL?

[RichCournoyer (Richard Cournoyer)]

Winston Moe (@wmoy ) does.

Let’s all ask him for a copy.

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

I didn’t do threaded inserts, but did draw up my XL wasteboard and posted it to:

(Instead I did T-track: http://www.shapeoko.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=8332&start=10#p65068 )

Dang it, Rich. Can’t hide anything from you…

I posted my files to my site, along with a list of considerations/disclaimers. If you want to use different inserts, just export your own DXF from the F360 project file linked.

Thanks Winston (@wmoy, but that’s the problem with having an Eidetic memory.

For those of you who do not have Fusion 360 OR don’t know how to use it, here is the setup information you will need to successfully run this NC program:

(Placed appropriately on the XL MDF board, See his web site for additional pictures and information)

1. Board size: 16" x 32"
2. X0 Y0 location is 1.0" away from the bottom and left edge.
3. Z0 is the top of the board

See Sketch

@RichCournoyer

X0 Y0 location is 1.0" away from the bottom and left edge.
3) Z0 is the top of the board

To clarify, X0 Y0 in the file is the location of the lower left hole. The wasteboard volume you see in the F360 previews is not to scale w.r.t. the actual S3XL wasteboard.

See here as reference for where to zero your machine before running: http://www.winstonmoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Screenshot-2016-11-12-14.07.28.png

Awesome!!! Should I assume that the depths are set to work with the thickness of the factory XL waste board?

[RichCournoyer (Richard Cournoyer)]

Please read his (Winston) article. He talks about the depth.

Got it. Thank you for your help.

I made a Fusion 360 file out of the waste board with the screw holes for the Shapeoko XL/XXL frame.

Feel free to reference or use as a template. Feedback is welcome!

And here is a threaded version of the template. I used the hole dimensions from Winston’s Fusion 360 file.

This was one of the first issues I had to overcome when I got my SO3, I saw winston’s videos and copied the idea (imitation being the sincerest form of flattery). I have created both a PDF (export from solidworks drw), a dxf (importable directly into Carbide Create, and I started a C2D that showed how I did the toolpaths.

Copy, modify, etc. Use it as you need it!

So I am a total newb here. I am looking to make a threaded wasteboard for the 3 xl. any files or recommendations? I thought I saw a file for it on here as well as some nice clamps someone did.

thanks in advance!!!

XL and XXL Threaded Insert table Grid and Clamps

Heres a few helpful Carbide Create files: Work holding Clamps and a threaded insert grid pattern (with recesses) for the XL and XXL Shapeoko machines. I was able to use the Makita router to cut the bed grid by flipping the collar upside down, which lets the router sit about .25" lower. By leaving the tool hanging out of the collet 1.75" you can get .65" deep into the wasteboard - just enough to drive the threaded inserts into the stock wasteboard. As always, test your perimeter and extents b…

2 inch grid my first project XXL3

Rich, What I did was to take the back board and flip it over on top of the front board with a piece of cardboard in between, attaching them with longer screws, and clamps. Then I ran the program I created, for both the .316 dia though holes and the .496 dia recess at .030 deep. Once the first half was done I flipped everything, aligned it all back up and ran the program on the other half. Then once completed, I installed all the inserts from the bottom side, insuring they were all just below…

I’ve seen lots of files for the SO3 in various sizes, but not specifically for the Pro. I’ve looked at CutRocket as well. I have the Pro XXL.
I’d like to upgrade my table to a vacuum system, as I’m primarily cutting sheets of foam and I don’t want to waste tape and spray adhesive every time I have to make a sheet change.
