Apparently some of the computers in the BEB might be missing the tool libraries. I’m working on this, and this afternoon I made sure the computers in the Furniture Lab are up to date. If you can not find the tool library, I suggest you look in the following directory:

C:/Users/Public/Public Documents/Shared McamX5/Router/Tools/RISD_Tools.toolsdb

One note: in the videos I say to look for RISD_Tools.tools, but RISD_Tools.toolsdb is the preferred file, if you have the option.

I just wanted to update everyone on some issues concerning the CNC machine. Some of you may have heard that there have been some problems with the machine in the BEB. Indeed there have, I spoke with James Dean this afternoon and apparently one of the motors/encoders have malfunctioned and need to be replaced. He expects them to be in tomorrow and he will replace them as soon as he can. Of course, this complicates things with the timing of our project. I’ll just ask that everyone do their best to get their parts cut, but I’m anticipating that this might cause some delays. It might expedite things if some of you can pair up when you get your parts cut, but if your files are set up properly, it should not take more than an hour to have James or the monitor double check your file, set up your stock, cut your part and clean up. Let me know if you are having difficulty or have other issues.
