Hello to all of you. I am writing to you from Canada in desperate need of some trouble shooting tips. I carved my first board yesterday and besides using the wrong drill bit for the detailed stuff, was quite successful. Today however I have run into some major roadblocks and am feeling very discouraged. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
My first problem was that after loading project 2, I could not remove the drill bit from the chuck. After about 15 minutes and some reading of these forums, I finally got the bit out. Then I loaded the 1/16th bit into the machine and after testing it, it would then ask me to put the 1/16th bit in again. I would push enter again and then the machine did the same tests and finally gave me an error message about the z axis. I then aborted the project and turned the crank as far as it would go so that I could see what was going on inside. when I got to the top the crank, it started clicking like it does at the bottom and now I can't get the crank to catch in order to get the machine back down. I'm really not sure what to do, can anyone offer me any words of wisdom? Cheers.
