I found some dirt on one of the Z truck bearings. Cleaned the bearings and that cured the problem.

The machine was carving normally but at a bit change, the bit moved to over the bit plate and only went down a little, not nearly close to the plate. It makes a couple passes at it then moves to the...

I bought a Craftsman A machine in an estate sale. The unit was never unpacked or plugged in. I replaced the QC bit connector and now have a QC tool holder with zero time on it. The bit releasing tool...

Tried again with all light in the shop turned off and got the same results. I guess I'll just have to buy a new sensor.

I tried this and it reads 155 all the way across. I did with paper and without and down against the board and up off of the board.

I get a constant message to clear the board sensor. Testing the sensor shows a reading of 154 when over a board. It does not drop to zero when moved off the board. It is a constant 154 to 157. What...

I, too, use a turbo carver and can appreciate the work in this. EXCELLENT!

I don't know if it will work but here is an unedited version of the booklet I kept as I built the carousel. Apparently the pdf file will download to your computer and then you can open it.

Elves and Santa getting ready for Christmas. This project only took a year and a half and used 97 different mpc files, some from Carvewright, 2 from pattern sharing and a whole bunch of my own...

I cleaned my machine and the next project had the first z axis stall. The FFC cable had a nick in the edge so I ordered two new cables. I installed the first cable and had the myriad of error...

I had the error messages so I bought a new cable. The problems continued after the new cable was installed.

I tested the X, Y, and Z axis and got:
Z: A=31.94 M=87.01
Y: A=41.18 M=256.00
X: A=109.27 M=165.60

I opened the machine, double checked all of the cable ends and tried again. This time the machine went through the entire set up process and asked for the bit. It moved to the middle for bit...

The machine went through the complete set up. It called for the 1/32" bit which I installed. The cut motor spun the bit. When it tried to find the bit, the truck went to the control panel side and...

I get a z axis stall with an error code of e06-0108. I replaced the flat cable and that did not cure my problem. I read the e06 z-axis stall page on the web site and that did not help either. Is...

Whenever I have to remove the cover from my machine, I find it difficult to squeeze my hands under the cover to plug in the wires. I cut an access door in the back of the cover. Just flip open the...

I'm looking for a speedboat or ski boat in motion pattern. Any suggestions appreciated.

Replaced the upper end of the cable multiple times and no change. Noticed that the bottom connection was slightly askew. Reattached it properly and all works great now. Thanks for the help.

I bumped it and it fell out when I changed the motor. I replaced it and got errors.

My cut motor quit mid project. I've replaced it with a new one. Now, as soon as I select a project I get a z axis stall. I tested the board sensors at "0" and "8" on the control panel. X and Y are...

I started a carving and in a very short time, the cut motor quit. All other functions seemed to be working normally. I tried a different cut file (one that had already been done). Everything worked...

The machine ahs about 490 hours

I put in a new y motor last week along with a new y drive belt. Not only is the pattern alignment way off, the depth is also getting deeper as it travels through the machine. I've had a few glitches...

The board is in a sled, the same one I have used about 50 times.

I make lots of carved plates similar to this one. On this artwork (first time in the machine) the carving has gone crazy. Attached are pix of the carving and what it is supposed to look like. Any...
