I just fought a battle trying to find out why I kept getting "Z" truck stalls. That was fixed by gluing a small sheet metal tab on the board tracking lever. Got through two 2hr+ carves just fine.
I started another carve, which is attached, and about 2 min into the carve, the machine starts telling me to "Clean the Y rails". Well, I cleaned them, then wiped them down with dry silicone lube, checked the bearings, which all four on the "Y" truck turn freely. I started the carve again and got the same error message plus the machine cut all the way to the edge of the board. The carve is a sign that says "Benchrest" for my gun club. The word "Benchrest" is in a .250" deep carve area. The machine carved the left edge of the carve area, which has 1/2" feathering and then ran all the way to the edge of the board on the keyboard (Top) side. The same carve did exactly the same thing twice. Luckily I don't have two pieces of expensive firewood as I was carving on a piece of 2 x 12 DF. I am running 1.186.10507 firmware,
When I was chasing down my previous problem, I cleaned out the "Z" truck rotating disc, there's nothing in it to cause problems. I took the "Y" truck off of the "Y" rails and checked the bearings, they all turn freely.
There are 314hrs on the cut motor, the brushes have been replaced twice, the most recent time was a day or two ago. And both my previous projects were done using the newest brushes.
It's a "B" machine, serial number starts with B.
Any ideas what my problem is??
