OK so I have had a chance to run 4 smaller boards through the new machine to help me test the software and see what I can do. Couple of questions for you experienced folks or the LHR folks....
1) the router head in the carvewright gets very warm to the touch. I can release a bit but you dont want to hang on to it very long. Normal?
2) my bit head cocks up to accept a new bit but when it is warm, it will not stay cocked. I have to hold it up while inserting the new bit and then let it release. Maybe needs a drop of lube but where?
3). When routing letters, I really do not see any difference between best and normal carving settings. Since I have limited experience, this may be font related?
4) Lastly does anyone else have trouble keeping the muffler in? Mine keeps blowing out! DOe s not seem importand as I am deaf anyway but...
Over all I am pleased withthe machine and excieted about prospects but am just trying to learn its limitations !!
Thanks for letting me pick your knowledge folks!
