Jeff,
My post was not directed at you or anyone else. You seem to have read an awful lot into a simple, thoughtful and accurate post. You'll notice that I didn't make reference to the number of...

Things sure have changed around these forums. I've been away for awhile and decided to drop by after the call about "upgrading" my machine. I was confused at first by the concern about being banned...

I had the same problem just a couple of days ago. Right after I upgraded to designer 1.120. I raised the clear cover, looked for loose connections, checked to make sure the flex cable was okay and...

RedBear,
Though your statements are compelling, they are very inaccurate. LHR can own the PTN file format if they choose to register it and can have complete control over distribution of data in...

cpworld,
You can use a P.M. (private message) to contact the user directly. Once you're logged in, there's a link in the header above the forum list that says "private messages". You can check...

Michael,
Excellent video! That was a great introduction to the scanner. Where exactly is the accessory port on the truck? I don't recall noticing any connectors on mine?

I was using 4 different files. In fact, I was using yenne's jewelry box files unmodified. I've done those projects before without problem. I'm going to give it some more testing and see if I can...

Okay, the strangeness continues. I've just cut my fourth project of the day and the cut to size worked correctly on the fourth. The machine has not been powered down, but different boards have been...

I believe there may be some confusion here. I've done this before and all 4 sides were cut with tabs left on each side to hold the piece in place. Since I'm using keep under rollers, that gives me...

I've run into a problem that I hadn't seen in a while. When I carve a board and select the option "cut to size", it only cuts 3 sides. From the control panel it cuts the far side, left side and...

I"m using one of the "older" machines with the infrared bit sensor in the truck. Sounds like this may have been replaced by another mechanism in later machines. At any rate, I got some sawdust in...

This question may not be as obvious as it seems to me, but what are the guys at LHR using for cleanup? Since they're testing these machines and running projects, what do they use for cleanup and how...

STL is a stereolithography file. Common in the CAD arena. Essentially it's points and lines. It uses polygons to define a surface. In this type of file a sphere would be represented by sets of 2D...

Cool. I'm planning on getting the starter collection because I really like the patterns and they do look quite nice. I wouldn't go so far as to say they look better than the standard library that...

Bob,
Yes, I created the account, but I never received an email. Once I had created the account though, it took me to a new web page where I was able to select the version that I wanted to...

I've just downloaded the sample patterns in .ptn format and imported them into Designer. Interestingly enough, they appear in the pattern list as an STL file. Is that correct? Are these STL files?...

Sorry for the late response to this, but one thing to be aware of. Since this cutting is being done with a round bit spinning on it's central axis, the corners of your boxes will not be square. ...

Art,
For the lubricant, take a look at the post in the announcements forum. Here's a link: http://carvewright.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=385

Looks like a moly lubricant is best.

As for...

Thanks! Haven't been able to get through via phone today, but I did send an email to support@carvewright.com. Hopefully I'll hear something soon. I'll check out the hardware store later this...

Hi all,
I've encountered a problem where the brass stops on the end of the flex shaft inserted into the cutter head have come loose. My flex shaft has two of these on that end. The first has...

No, the tabs being referred to are small connectors being left when you completely cut out a section of board. For the oval project above, tabs would be between the oval section displayed and the...

Yes, earplugs are a good idea, especially if you are struck by the fascination to stand and watch it work for a while.

For my issue, I got 3 sides cut completely through and one side didn't cut at all. I've got a picture of it if necessary. It was the right end that didn't cut for me. Since I used autojig with an...

I had that happen one time, tabs on 3 sides and the 4th side wasn't cut at all. This was with the 1.036 version of the software and the corresponding firmware. If you have that, do an update before...

Just for clarification, here is what I've encountered.

With a cut path or a drill, my machine will cut through whatever thickness of board is in the machine, regardless of what was set in the...
