Well the bit looked fine before I replaced the flexishaft. I uninstalled and re-installed the flexishaft and that seemed to have ended the big lines.
So I think at this point your right about the...

This definitely isn't it. I have carved the pattern a dozen plus times and I would add lubricant and it would start doing nice clean carving then it wouldn't after a bit. At first it looked like it...

Well there goes the best idea for why my carvings have big lines in them after I replaced my flexishaft.

Anyone replaced a Flexishaft lately, and if so did it still have the spring inside it like they used to?

Still trying to figure out what is wrong with my machine.
Has anyone ever seen a carving where the pattern in the middle of the carving(over 1/2" from the edge)
I'm pretty sure it has something...

Background: I was having z-axis stalls and other carving problems that I suspected were bit sharpness so I upgraded to the carvetight to get a new carving bit. Previous carving problems are gone...

Dust collector is the best thing I ever did for carving once I was able to get enough amperage out to my shed.

Is there an ETA on the next batch of Carvetight Z truck assemblies will arrive.
I know they might not be up to snuff but nice to know when the next chance is.

While far from the best solution for large sign making, handibot, looks like a serious competitor at the price point for the carvewright. While it doesn't do long pieces as well, if it doesn't have...

I will also say that checking for a part and finding parts not there end up with one spending a lot of time looking at other options. There are some neat machines out there these days and the costs...

The C->CX machine serial number isn't a huge surprise. CX has always been a C with rubber belts and a carvetight.
While I have not use my machine nearly as much as I would have liked to its a great...

I'll just add on to this one as this is the error I am having.
While I am looking at all of these things and the only thing I am seeing that doesn't look right is the Y-Belt Tensioner Assembly...

I'm not sure how large they really are but it is a bit ridiculous that a fundamental upgrade part like the carvetight is still after many months unavailible.

Thanks guys that is the information I was looking for.

So my machine was down for a while and now I have it back up and went looking for patterns and found lots missing. While some of them moved to their own sites I can't figure out who manufacturer...

I am doing the belt upgrade and I received 1/2 OD washers that are two different thicknesses. Is this suppose to be, and if not what is the thickness it should be?

I have two 1/2" washers in my packet but they are slightly different thicknesses, does this matter? They have slightly different ID dimensions too but that shouldn't matter.
