I’ve been follow Jeff-Birt and pkunk discussion here http://www.carvewright.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1786 regarding static and dust collection systems, especially when using a shop vac. Last night in my shop I had a carving for my first jewelry box going on a test piece (3 hour carving). At the same time I was sanding our cabinet doors using a 16/32 Jet belt sander, with my shop vac hooked up on top. I’ve been working away on the cabinets for almost 3 weeks, but last night I noticed I was getting a lot of static shocks. I’m assuming this could be due to the increase in temperature, and possibly humidity, last night, compared to the last couple of weeks. Anyway, I noticed with my carving after the first pattern (5 total) there was a large amount of dust build up, so I stopped it and shop vac’d it out, then restarted the next pattern. I then stopped the carving after each pattern to clean up and restarted. All went well until I stopped it after the 4th carving. I started to get shocked whilst cleaning out the CW, so I held one hand on the side of the machine as I cleaned. When I went to press enter to restart, the screen was blank, I turned off the CW then back on and the display came up OK. At this point it was late so I cleaned up and left the shop.
I do not think this was a power save function, since the time I took cleaning was less than the previous times. I’ll try the machine tonight and see if all is well.
But, after that long winded explanation, my question is:-
Is there a way to jog the CW to the last carving, or do I have to run the whole carving from the beginning?
