Begin Carving, then machine just stops. NOTHING!

[Proctorw]

Anyone ever have this issue? Using the rotary jig, uploaded project for Optimal. CW goes through process, and message "Begin Carving", Bit moves about 2 inches and just stops. Message still Begin Carving. and Nothing. Tried a different project. Same results. Any ideas?

Try re-formatting the data card and re-flash the firmware. It may not solve the problem but it's a good place to start. Also, check the ffc cable for flaws or loose connections.

Steve, I already re-flashed and re-formatted. One thing I noticed is that the Rotary spins extremely slow while the message displays "begin Carving". Will be calling CW this afternoon.

That sounds to me like a tracking issue. The O ring on the brass roller touching the front rubber belt?

It was that. Talked with Chris L. CarveWright folks are the best!
