Thanks very much for the help! I still do not know how I got to the place I was in the menu.

When I turn my machine on the Menu Display goes to "Accessory Menu" 1) Scan Area. I do not know why and I cannot get out of that status to go to "Projects". In fact the only place I can go is...

Is there an easy way to rout a region? For example if I want to make a rectangle say 4 x 6 inches and 1/4 in. deep, I know I can make numerous parallel lines spaced a little less than the diameter of...

Not a vent cover, I actually cut the ends off and use the pieces in some unique jewelry products I am making. Long story. I actually mount these in a sled as they are only 1/8 in. thick and the sled...

I was having problems when cutting multiple parallel slots. The slots are curved and the board would go too far back to start position before making the next cut. Each slot was out of position on the...

I haven't seen this issue on the forum and I don't see it in the troubleshooting guide. I have a project to cut 1/16" wide by 1/8" deep grooves. 9 grooves parallel spaced 1/4" apart in the y...

Has anyone ever used a 1/16" straight cutting bit? If so, where did you get the bit and what is the max. cutting depth per pass you would recommend. I have a need to cut repetitive parts from the...

This is beautiful. I am going to make my first pen shortly, but I didn't even consider a carved box for them....now I will. Good job!!!

I want to use a 1/16 " cutting bit to make multiple parallel grooves at .625 in. deep. I want to make multiple cutting passes on each groove at say .25,.25,.125 inches for each line. Is this possible...

This is information about my experience with a "cut motor not running" error and the troubleshooting that followed. The problem was that a project would run up to the point where the carving was to...

I have cleaned the motor, checked continuity on the AC door switch, checked for a broken capacitor and loose wires on the X board and my brushes have a lot of life left and no pinched wires. Motor...

I have been trying to get rid of a z-axis stall condition for a few days now to no avail. I have an unusual request. I live in Oxnard CA. Is there anyone nearby that would run a small project for me...

The clamp for the y-axis drive belt has loosened on my machine. During a job the registration was lost and the tool cut through the board and the machine stalled of course.
Anyway does anyone know...

Thanks for the input. I do have an air compressor on the same circuit which did come on between the pieces I was running as I used it due blow debris from the parts and the machine. I also heard that...

This is a little long, sorry. Last Friday I had a small project to carve, 3 small pieces with a word carved in each piece. I finished the first 2 pieces with absolutely no problems. On the third...

Should the firmware version shown on the flash manager match the Designer version? In my case it doesn't and when I tell the flash manager to update the firmware to the latest version it goes thru...

I get this error message. I have only seen one thread here that refers to this. Also I have Designer ver 1.15 and when I look at the firmware version on my card it says 1.126. When I tell it to load...

Thanks for the help. This is exactly what I saw before. I am going to give this a try on a round table with a glass top. I want to carve the names of a family on the glass supporting top ridge that...

Somewhere in this forum I saw a reference to a synthetic material that is used for inlays. I remember that it was a granular material and you could purchase it in colors, with metallic flakes, swirl...

I saw an old post regarding this issue. Actually the error message was "check cut motor".

Based on the findings of the other thread I took the motor apart and sure enough, the magnet was dislodged...

I get a "check motor" message each time I start carving a new piece. After hitting enter the machine runs like there is no problem. The last time I used it I heard a "grinding" noise that lasted for...

If the roughness in the grooves is due to a somewhat dull tool or the grain structure of the wood I use a fine wire brush first to see how much of it is cleaned up. If I want a smoother appearance I...
