Hey! Everyone glad to be aboard, Got my machine yesterday , set it up, and I made a simple project and TA! DA! worked fine. I had to adjust the Y axis stop arm ( got a lot of Y axis stall 236 errors ) but after I adjusted the Y axis stop arm or what ever it is called my machine worked fine. Started second project this morning and about half way through the project I started to smell hot grease I felt the bit head and it was so hot I couldn't touch it, so tomorrow I'm going to call CW to see if I have a problem or maybe the machine need to break in. I turned it off for now.
I' m really excited to get my Compu-carve machine, I have big plans for it and I need to learn a whole lot about the machine, I have read alot of postings and there seems to be a lot of good people here.

Welcome to your new life. 8) There is some work involved, but that's what makes the results so much sweeter.

usually if the Z truck is hot... you just need to lube the flexshaft.
