Hi Bud,
Wow you have some great information on the web!!
Yesterday I asked about the tape on the Carve Wright Forum. Where should one put the tape? Just want to be sure I do that right. It makes sense that would help.
I very much appreciate your site and your offering to help.
Are you a teacher? Just curious. :)
Thank you and Merry Christmas,
Bart Radke

Hello Bart,
First, I am not a certified teacher. I have, however, taught classes for my former employer for over thirty years. I further "Ghosted" procedure papers, and PUCO replies, for 5th level management. I also coached Springboard Diving for Ohio Northern University for eight years, where I had a diver qualify and compete in the Division III NCAA National Championships for three years.
TAPE:
Tape is a help-mate. It is used to assist some sensors do their job. It can, also, be used to assist the sand paper belts in movement of "slick/hard" material.
1) Tape on the bottom of the board, between the Brass Roller and the wood allows the roller to get a better grip on hard or slightly imperfect stock.
2) On slick/hard/shiny stock, it is sometime necessary to place several strips of tape the length of the board to assist the sandpaper belts.
3) Sometimes the board sensor, under the truck, needs assistance/fooling due to voids in the surface of the board or sled. This may be in the width or length of the stock/sled. Color changes may also look like a void and cause an abort in measurement. The truck sensor is expecting any change in surface depth to indicate that it has reached its final point. Most of this occurs on the initial measurement cycle.
4) Sometimes we use tape as a method of holding our project in place or holding two or more pieces of material together.
Let's talk about the Board/Truck sensor:
This sensor is looking for "End of Material" in the path that it travels.
A) If the board/sled has a gap anywhere in that path, it may well give a false indication of End of Material.
B) Tape across/down the expected truck, measuring, path eliminates these possible errors.
C) Rails sometimes are used with no solid stock, at each end. The sensor is looking for the drop in height after the end exits the Head Roller(s). Therefore, tape can accomplish the same function as a scrap piece the same height as the rails.
D) As the truck sensor measures the width it will consider its measurement complete at the first void it sees.
E) This same situation may occur as the truck sensor travels the length.
There may be other usages, but I think the above listing is fairly inclusive.
Thanks for the eMail. I think I'm going to post this reply on the Forum for all the other users.
