Check tracking roller

[jstorie23]

I have checked, cleaned and everything in between and I am stlil getting this
on my machine. Any other suggestions?

Is the o-ring on the tracking roller? It should be in the outer most groove. Is you board flat, untwisted with no voids? Are you using masking tape on the bottom of your board? Are your outfeed tables adjusted correctly? What have you tried so far?

Are you using masking tape on the underside of your board to assist brass tracking roller with traction? Is your brass tracking roller o-ring still in place? I'm going thru the same issues as we speak. Seems my o-ring (size 1/4" x 3/8") has worn flat, and requires replacing. Hope this helps you as well as myself.

Good job on the masking tape..... My favorite.....

More things....

A rolled under sand paper belt at the brass roller... Hard to see....

Head not level...

Not staying under the rollers and the board tipping up with the brass roller loosing contact with the board.

Remember to check to see that the "damper" is still under the Brass Roller!

I think we finally have it figured out. Although another problem I have is the z truck is loose. The bottom left screw is loose. How do you tighten it?

[dbfletcher]

I would be helpfull if you could tell us what the problem was that you found so people reading this thread in the future may be able to use you solution.

BOTTOM LEFT SCREW.... Been there done that...... But with upper left..... I tried to hold the nut with a scribe but screwed up the bearing....

You need to remove the Z Truck and tighten the left bearing and reinstall it.... It's the only way....

Use the Replacement PDF for step by step instructions.

Yesterday I had an issue with tracking, I tried the masking tape to no avail. The problem was my front sand paper belt, after I replaced all was well. I mentioned this is you have done everything else this may be the cause. It may not be, but for anybody else this may help?
