Worked well, ...................., again, thanks

Thank you for the very fast reply. Tapered sides are no problem as long as the bottom is flat and cause a 90 degree to the piece inserted into the rectangle. I've been doing this for about 10 years...

Hello,

Should be a solution to this but I can't find it.
I'm making braces for a stereo stand. Each brace will be approximately 10 x 3 x.75 inches, size doesn't matter with respect to my issue. ...

Problem solved!!:p
Pulled the FFC, no close cover notification, "Z Axis Stall Err 06-0313" comes up. Why on earth the FFC has anything to do with "close cover" is beyond me. In any case after...

Wow, you guys are good! I'll try both suggestions. Interesting, regarding the 24V pin. As I recall, the J1 pinout, I had placed the female 1-9 over the male 2-10. Per the location of the 24V pin,...

This is probably exactly what happened as I did make a connection and was off by an entire row. Perhaps fried a portion of the controller. Thanks

Thanks for responding.
Attached, you'll see the boards, they are of the new variety. Note the one with bare pins due to the male connection plastic enclosure coming up with the female plug. On the...

Thanks for responding. The far left pins on the top horizontal connector on the HTEBA are for the cover switch. The other pins are for the probe functions. I've tried two different switch cable...

Hello,
It all started with the Y-Axis Stall error. With inspection I found I needed a new bearing. To make things easier in order to "drill out" the locked in screws, I removed the entire Y assembly...

I'm in the process of replacing the board due to melting and deforming it's plastic case while heating the spindle to get the QC off for replacement. (a teaching moment: protect the belts and board...

make sure the QC is in the open position for bit removal, remove the flex cable, place a thin screw driver in the hole where the flex cable was and tap the end with a hammer. This should drive the...

Hello,
As I sit on hold with LHR waiting for help, I thought it might be faster to use the forum. I've just stripped the square hole trying to remove a broken QC and install the Rock. Believe me...

I had the same problem. I found the plate to have a dust and oil combination at the hinge. After cleaning and using a dry lubricant the problem was solved. Do not use oil.

Hello
There is no way I could be doing what I'm doing with the CW without a planer. The one I use is a Dewalt and cost about $400. First off, you can buy rough lumber at great savings, glue edges...

I had the same issue: head wouldn't go to surface, and error message "check probe". I found I had a tiny bit of dust in the quick release chuck. I cleared it and have had no problems since. It...

Bud, I just thought of something.

The measurements on this pattern were precise and I used connection lines and edge connections to move the predetermined .75 diameter hole to where I wanted it....

Bud, thanks for being patient with me. I will read the Pm. However, I just finished a 20 hour carve (carve bit only). The pattern was encased in a rectangle. As requested, the rectangle sides were...

OK, but how do I know what action the software will perform.....after it has requested a particular bit? If I knew it was a circle (with a bottom) I might ignore the request for a carve bit and load...

I'm very sure I used the bit requested by the machine. I had to as I have no idea the sequence the software has placed on the patterns. In any case, shouldn't the 'straight bit be used for "cut...

Hello, and thanks in advance,

Please check this out and let me know why the four 3/4 inch diameter cut outs are tapered. ( 7/8 top and 3/4 bottom ) My design did not include "feather". Also,...

Well, that certainly worked!

Thanks much

we both answered at the same time

I could divide each slot into many regions of differing depths and then hand sand the result. But there has to be a more elegant solution.

Neil

Dan,

Sorry to be a bother, but how? Are you using "select surface"?

Neil

Thanks Chris. Your design is what I ended up with. What I learned: apparently you can't close the loop on a carve area when the open end is touching the inside of a circle. The circle itself does not...
