How do you get the screws out of the z truck bearings? They seem glued in and won't budge.

I need to reverse some text. I mirrored, but can't get rid of original. Any way to do this?

The project was clean, but the rubber belt had some "dust" on it, as well as the back table.

I took your advice. I put a grounding strap on. With the rubber traction belts and Corian, there was a lot more static. The rubber belt isn't as clean as the sandpaper belt when running....

Why does LHR charge the same price for the 1/16" cutting bit without the QC adapter? It would be nice to save a little. They charge $10 for the QC, but charge the same $25 price for the bit if you...

The brackets might be a good idea. This is just stuck between the two ends/sides. Grounding isn't a problem. Was surprised there wasn't even any static. I will actually be using my main vac...

This is only a 1 hour carve. There isn't much to see. I plan on doing a 4 hour carve and some Corian. That will be the real test. I have a big DC system for the shop. Just wanted to help out...

I figured I'd wait a bit before finally posting this. I have a big shop system, but wanted to design something that would not block the view. All the others I've seen just seemed bulky or complex. I...

After 18 hours run on a 20 hour project, I got a Y axis stall. There was no forward movement and the bit stayed in the same place for some time before the error. Can too great of a down pressure on...

Thanks. Very helpful and not bad for the CW. Will still need to figure out how to get leading and trailing edges right and deal with the rounding of everything. I use 1/64" spiral carbide cutting...

It will not import stl files into Favorites says "not a recognized type"

If you'd like to send me a section to work on, I can see what you might be taliking about. Yes I can do video (I'm a computer graphics tech by experience), and write up or show a screen practicum,...

Can you take a dxf file and convert it accurately? If I sent you a file (my email is tjb@adesigner.com) could you do a video or picture series explaining the process? When I bring the files in...

When I first bought my machine a couple years ago (2006), they said they were working on software that would allow me to use my stl and other cad files. It was to come out within 3 months of my...

Problem is that, with CW, they haven't done the software (as promised) that will be able to use stl files. It actually works if you have a standard cad router. Can't do that type of work with the...

Me too. The big thing is that I asked about the software being able to use stl files and such when I bought my machine. I was told they would have a pro version out in couple months or so. That...

It would be great if we could import stl files directly. I was told they are working on the "professional" software that will allow this, but haven't heard anything as to exactly when. (was to be...

I want to cut out 3D letters by using cut path. I want to be able to glue a 1/2" foam board on another 3/4" board and just cut out the foam. When I try, I get Fatal Error 2. I can raster cut them,...

Here's a link to ptn and mpw files of an old antique carving I had hanging on my wall. It was a 4 hour high res scan.

No difference but the logo.
This is 6" dia and takes 1 hour machine time at best setting.
Took about 10 min to draw.

I've done three small projects and keep the machine pretty clean, but am having trouble with the board sensor. Would be nice if they could post schematics of the machine on the forum for download. ...

You can do some neat stuff with the library items.
I looked at VectorArt3D and it's just way too expensive if you don't plan on making multiple copies of everything.

I did a quick sample of what will go on a box I made for my wife. Box is 4" tall, so it should fit in the machine okay. Will be mounting in on a sled. Just grabbed a simple pattern from the...

Where did you get the 1/16" straight cutting bit? I've been looking for some.

The software doesn't support the bit, but you can use the 1/16" carving bit selection and make sure you...
