That's it! I was thinkimg that it was reporting length / width. Thanks a lot!

I started with a new board and tested it with two different projects. The board, approximately 13 1/4 x 7 1/4 measured 13.212 x 7.715 using the Measure function. I first tried it on a project that...

I tested the tape idea and same result. I knew it couldn't be the roller because it reads the length accurately with the Measure function. More significantly, I confirmed that it is reporting the...

I get two numbers and it asks me if I want to scale it. That indicates that it thiks that it is 12 long insteaed of 22. Somehow, it is giving me the designer board length instead of the true board...

Thanks.

The design board is 12 x 12. If it is the brass roller, why does it ALWAYS measure correctly using thye Measure function and ALWAYS measure 12.000 using the Project. By the way, I tried...

I have prepared a board 22" x 13 1/2". When I measure it using the Carvewright Measure, 17 measures 13.45 x 22 and change. When I start a project, it measures the same in width, but measures 12.000...

Thanks.

That's what I was trying to design.

Imagine 3 concentric circles 6", 7" and 10" diameters. I wish to carve a region 0.25" deep in the region between the 7 and 10" circles and to carve the region encompassed by the 6" circle to the same...

I magine 3 concentric circles. Say, 6", 7" and 10" diameter. I want to carve the region between the 7 and 10" circles to 0.25" deep and the circlular region inside the 6" circle also to 0.25" deep.

Thanks again
I tried moving the carriage in the Y direction starting at the near end and finishing at the far end. Readings appewared to be smooth. I tried once more to measuire. This time, I did...

Thanks.
It gets the error as soon as it starts to measure in the Y direction.

Thanks for responding Al,
I use a white melamine surface biard to check the board sensor. I get about 155. I have the newer chuck system. Run that by me again about the Y axis readings. Are they...

I get the error whenever I try to run a project or measure a board. All sensors seem to be working correctly. The only peculiarity is that the Y sensor reads -0.122 at the edge, not 0. Is that...

I placed a pattern on the board, got it outlined, and made a cut path, OK. Then I mirrored it. The pattern and outline show up, but not the cut path. If I carve this pattern, will it cut out the...

The last time that I had a board sensor proble., You advised me to use masking tape on the top of the board, and that worked. Today, the tape didn't work. Neither did a white piece of paper taped...

Thanks to all contributors. I ended up taping the whole board. Probably overkill, but it now works. I bought my first unit in 2006, but this is my new one with the sensor problem.

I keep getting a message to clean board sensor, but it's clean. When I run sensor check, it shows 0 at either end and in the 50s across the board. If the sensor checks OK, why am I being told to...

1. When my hard drive crashed, I loaded a new version of Designer on a new computer. I was able to recover my old patterns and move them to a hard drive on the new computer. Designer doesn't show...

I JUst remembered. I used Draft, not Feather. No problem with Draft.

I did this one before, but can't remember how. Picture a rectamgular board with an elliptical cutout in the center. Then Picture another ellipse about 1 inch bigger in both axes. I used Carve...

My hard disk failed and I lost all of my files. Is there a way to download the files that I have on the CargeWright flashcard?

I purchased the Rock Chuck and removef the QC chuck. When I tried removing the carving bit from the QC bit holder so I could use it in the new chuck, I couldn't get it loose. The set screws...

I started the project with the carving bit and had trouble getting it to seat. It finally seemed to be solidly seated, so I began carving. When I switched to the cutting bit, I had a lot of trouble...

I'd like to thanj all who took the time to share their expertise.

Belts: This is my second unit. It is only a few weeks old . I see no wear or displacement on belts. They don't seem to be...

Board was 10 in. longer than project.
Did 8 clicks to apply pressure, and locked it down.
Wood was same type as previous success.
Belts are only a few hours old
Tried masking tape on board for...
