Shapeoko 4 XL Wasteboard hole pattern

[jlpaul (John L. Paul)]

I am looking for a file to cut the holes in replacement slats for the wasteboard. the slats are 23.625 in long 2.875 in wide and .75 in thick.

I will probably just make a plywood template on the CNC based of the current ones, then drill them on the drill press using the template as the guide.

I drew up the XXL ones here:

Notes on rapid positions and wasteboard leveling

We cut the holes and do the math, and send the new values for $100 and $101, then re-cut the holes to verify — with the new holes both measuring at 99.99 we call it close enough. Next, in CM move to the SW point and set XY origin there. Then we load a drawing of the hybrid T-tracks: [image] Hybrid T-track slats - XXL.c2d (110.5 KB) (it would be great if someone would measure the slats on a standard/XL size machine) and simplify and rotate it and set the stock size to match the rapid posit…

It should be pretty straight-forward to adapt that file to an XL.

Heres the file to make new slats for the Pro XL.
Just disable the tool path for cutting and leave the one for drilling holes
You can modify as needed

here is a VCarve Desktop file to cut the holes. contact me and I will send it to you. it would not let me upload the file.

You can upload the file by zipping it first.

Thanks for the file! I modified to only be a single slat since I have a table saw, the holes worked perfectly. Now I can forget the sins of my first two years with the machine

Glad it worked out for you
