The machine (or the probe) is no longer available; I've decided to donate it to my local Makerspace.

I'm glad that the original owner was honest when he told me that he never used it. I would sell the probe separately, yes; $275 shipped via USPS Priority mail.

Please check, for sure! When I bought it second hand, the disc was still sealed in its package (still is). I've confirmed in my account that it's not registered to me. I'd be happy to send you the...

Noted. Just found the disc with the activation code, however. :)

Thanks guys. The probe/software hasn't been registered. It may be a wash, though, as I need to locate the disc. It's here in my office somewhere; I remember seeing it semi recently. It's definitely...

Hi there,

I bought my CW machine second hand a few years ago, and even with the fantastic tutelage of chebytrk, I've not really used the machine since I've had it. I had a Y axis error that kept...

Three years later, and I finally got around to fixing it! Had to clear some dust outta there.

Sure, no prob.

Gotta call LHR this afternoon; got some Y E05-0303 and Z E06-0303 axis errors yesterday. Researched, troubleshot, no luck. Ugh.

Yeah, SC tends to have sappy pockets that are just a characteristic of the wood. Have that on this one here:

I did a bit of...

Noted. Thanks again!

I'll get around to scanning some stuff hopefully in the next few days. If you (or anyone else for that matter) is interested in seeing the guitars that I build, you can do so...

Everything that you said makes complete sense to me, thanks for that. I’m looking at the mpc that I used right now and the Cut Path tool isn’t highlighted, so I must have selected the pockets, then...

Y'know, it's possible, I don't recall. I made a few different changes by the time I ran it through the machine. I do remember selecting everything and then clicking the Select bit icon and chose the...

Thanks for confirming that; I was thinking that I could make adjustments by working with a compensated offset. Interesting thing happened when I ran the test; the tabs didn’t get added, and although...

I cut it out tonight. Thanks for your help. It's not as accurate as I'd hoped (neck pocket width was 2.21 at it's widest, and it's a little wider in reality) but a good start. My machine doesn't have...

Okay, that helps; thank you! I’ve done one test carve with my machine. I’ll check that document you linked, thank you. The thing that’s been difficult for me with this whole thing is that there...

Thanks for the revision, I appreciate it. So I’ve selected one of the remaining non-circular patterns, selected the drill tool and add a diameter, of, say, 3/8” (while selecting Through the board and...

Thank you so much for your help! I thought I was getting warmer by using the select bit option, choosing the 3/8” straight bit, and doing a 3/16’ inset, but alas, the holes remained (albeit smaller)...

Hey there,

I want to use my CW to make some guitar building templates; this one in particular will have a hole for the neck pocket, two pickups, and the bridge. I’m using the cut path tool to cut...

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

Hey there,

Just ran a test of a fret marker/inlay pattern. I used the dxf importer to import the design, and then got everything squared away (or at least I thought). I've attached the mpc file...

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

So not all of the lines intersect; is that what you're saying?

Hey there,

I’m creating my first project and for whatever reason, I cannot get the cut path tool to enable. I’ve searched the help topics in the software, and searching the forum for “cut path...

I definitely had a great time meeting with ya, and I really appreciate the opportunity to do so. I definitely took notes (and some video, as you know), and I’m sure it’s going to be helpful.

Hey there,

I've pretty much done that, but haven't really found the answer. (saw an old thread that referred to using plastic inlays, which is kinda in the ballpark, but there wasn't a ton of...
