-

lol i don't what i built it looked like the picture, but the headed topped out and it still didn't fit all i did was use 3/4 MDF from home depot
-
I feel stupid know it is me I own 4 Machines. the one I use all the time is on wheels so that's the one I tried it on was so dirty the head would not go up all the way. then I tried it on one I haven't used in sometime and it went right in, know cant wait to try it,
-
Looks just like mine! Glad you got it figured out.

I got it to work on the first try but I don't know how. I got lost when it said jog the X using the lower arrows, I didn't use the touch holes at all. all I did was move the bit all the over to the far side and hit enter, need help but I carved my first one using the UCB.
-
The reason you did not need the touch holes was because the carving was not deeper than 1/2". In this case the machine does not bother to measure the board thickness. Now for the bad news. The touch holes are on the wrong side. The holes are for when the bit thinks it is bobbing between the board and the sliding plate. Without those holes, the bit will stall onto the side of the UCB. When you do make the holes in the other side, make them nearer the inside. (The holes would be in the center of the side if the side was 5/8" wide.)
When you do a project deeper than 1/2", you will have to follow the instructions and jog to line up one of the new holes.

thank you, after you told me that I looked at the picture again sure enough I did it drill the holes on the woung side. lol I'm learning. do they have a video I can watch to see the right way to do it, you are good I would have never noticed the holes drilled one the woung rail,
