Hey everyone, my name is Scott Moore from Franklin, TX. Bought a machine with extra bits about 2 months ago. Have been reading and learning from ya'll. Have not started anything yet. Thank you for your valuable tips and tricks. It's folks like this that make a product great.
I am Nicole from Iowa. I actually purchased my machine Thanksgiving weekend last year but I did not get a chance to use it very much. I have made a few things here and there and came to the forums to try to help my frustration. I keep having things go wrong. I cut 3 signs yesterday and now today my machine will not work (won't measure and when it does it doesn't find the bit) I have little things like this come up a lot and I literally waste hours trying to get it to work so HOPEFULLY the forums will be a great asset to me. I have tons of ideas saved and ready to cut when things work correctly
Hi Nicole,
Glad you are on the forum. When you get back to using your machine, if you have any problem, stop...make notes of exactly what happened (in detail). Visit the forum and post about it...be as specific as possible about the issue. Often, your actual MPC uploaded for us to look at is very handy too. This way, any number of us can assist you in determining the source of your problem as well as the solution. These are not complicated machines and are extremely reliable as long as correct procedures are followed. We can help you.

Happy Carving!

As Michael said, we are here to help you out with any issues you might be having. Not finding the bit, if the bit plate does not come out all of the way so that the bit can touch it you will get that error. Most common issues are dirty Y rails that will not let the truck travel to the end and push the bit plate out, dirty spring on the bit plate and the cut motor wires not tucked back in the corner of the machine.

How do I start a new thread? This site is just designed differently than any I have used. I have questions and I am horribly frustrated after weeks of trying to figure things out on my own and using the support line (they were probably sick of me at one point) I took a week off because I had other things to do and now I am opening a store front at the end of this month and I need my machine to work for me. If anyone can tell me how to post a thread with my issues I would love to do that. Thanks in advance. Nicole
