Thanks to all for their responses to my initial question regarding sled materials.

I have checked the roller pressure, and on my bathroom scales, the pressure is a bit high if anything, at 91 lbs....

Thank you. I am already using Designer 1.125, and unfortunately it did not cure the stair-stepping.

I don't think the problem is that the sled is slipping on the sandpaper belts, but rather that...

Can someone suggest the best material for constructing a sled or carrier board?

I'm having issues with stair-stepping which come and go, and I'd like to make a carrier or sled which would make...

Jeff Birt, never mind the following question. This is an edit. I've located other threads with responses by you which deal with this question, and it is clear that I do indeed understand you...

Saw the announcement of 1.125 tonight and was excited that it contained inset/offsets from vector paths. Getting custom profiles using passes with multiple bits would be much simpler with that...

Sorry for the delay in posting this update. I've been too busy carving.

Installation of the new controller box was a snap. Simply lay the machine over onto its front, and remove the bottom plate...

The new controller card (actually it is a metal box) arrived today via UPS. The carton was crushed somewhat, but the metal box inside was very well padded, so I doubt very much that any damage was...

Thank you, Bob. I do have Photoshop, so I created a pattern which was simply a rectangle with a gradient, and it appears in Designer that a slope will indeed be carved.

Seems to me there should...

I must be missing something. I need to be able to carve a sloping rectangle, meaning it is deeper on one side than the other. The bi-plane example on the CarveWrite web site seems to do exactly that...

I talked to Tech Service first thing this morning, and the diagnosis is that I have a bad controller card. They are sending one out to me immediately. Another example of good response from the...

Oldjoe, yes, I leave the heat on in my shop. It is well insulated, and I've found in the distant past that allowing the temperature to drop can accelerate rust on cast iron surfaces, because the...

My shop is heated, maintained at 69 degrees. Humidity (it's winter here in Minnesota) is low, about 45%. So, I don't think the problem is condensation. Actually, in heated spaces, we worry more...

Started up my machine after a week of non-use, and was presented with this error code immediately.

SRAM 3 10682666

Machine is then locked up, nothing works. Anyone have experience...

Thank you, Turkey Branch. I understand that now.

What still eludes me is how to convert cut paths made with the drawing tools into patterns, so I can use the pattern tools. I'm starting with...

Hi, Nick.

My machine is on order, and I'm trying to learn to use the software.

How did you get everything else but your gear to disappear in the second picture? I'm designing and "antique"...
