Thanks Al! And yessir, the O ring on the brass roller is still present...
Thanks Steve! Yes, I have outfeed rollers on each end. They're the same height they were for the top piece carve, which worked fine. And yessir, the board is parallel...
You're right, Jerry, 60 3/16",, thanks!
No sled, I built one, but it weighs a freakin Ton! Probably shouldn't have used MDF, huh? ;)
It is centered on the board, but if I make too many adjustments now, then the bottom (this carving) won't match up to the top...plus it would change what's already been carved, if I understand...
No sir, its HDU foam board...and the hand measurement is slightly over 60 inches as pictured.
Hello all! Hope your New Year is going well!
Hopefully someone can give me a clue on this issue!
My board measures 60.125 by hand, the project board is listed as 59.789 because thats what the...
Well Hell, the Y roller bearings appeared to be moving just fine, so I put it all back together Again, then ran the Y Axis test five times. Earlier, I had run it seven times, with the first numbers...
Y roller bearings? That's on the truck, correct? Guess I'll check those next, thanks.
Yeah, thanks...it took me several tries to get that danged clamp back on, but it's tight.
And when I got the head cover off again, it took two hands to get the truck to move along the Y axis. Of course, once I got the motor out of the way it moves smoothly but...
Hmm, not seeing any...
I'm about to tear into the Y motor and look for the stuff Al keeps posting pictures of, but I'm not sure what could have shredded about 6 inches of the Y belt, any ideas?
After I tore it all...
Well ()*&*&^^&%^$%$%^&&__)(*)_(*)(*!!!
Received and installed the new FFC cable and it got Further, but still error out! Made it through the first bit install, then on the second bit install, it...
Thanks Mike! I tried again, reseating the FFC cable at intervals along the way, and seemed to get farther than before but still error out. Gonna order one and give it a try!
Thanks, Lee

Hey Connie, thanks for the reply!
Yes, it's a CW bit. The truck moves up and down just fine with the cutting bit and the belt looks fine, there are no obstructions that I see and the error...
Last week I completed a 12-hour carve and started a second one and, after going through most all of the setup, including all the way thru the 1/8" cutting bit measurements, I got a Z axis stall...
Worked fine, thanks guys!
It still isn't a clear as the pics from the lesser cameras, but much better than what I was coming up with!
Thx, Lee

Ken/Michael, changing the bit optimization definitely had an effect, but its still distorted and a bit spooky on my computer...Michael, I notice that it does not appear distorted at all on the...
So I figured maybe, if I scanned the photo in question, I would alleviate the problem I Think was caused by the original being in RAW format, but nothin doin! Still the same problem of distortion,...
Alright dangit, how do I upload an MPC when the file uploader only allows picture files?
I got the MPC down to 1.5mb, which should meet the upload limit, but it won't go because it isn't a jpg or...
I tried to attach the .mpc, Michael, but it tells me it's too large (4mb-ish). Will that decrease if I use a smaller picture maybe?
Connie, I use standard settings for lithos of Depth 0.180 and...
Naw, Dale, same problem, look at her teeth I can see it now, but if you zoom in you'll see what I mean)...and when I carved it that became even more obvious!
Jerry, since my target is a 5x7 piece...
I've done numerous successful lithos, but for some reason I'm having a terrible time with my daughter's wedding photos.
I spoke with the photographer (the new son-in-law's dad) and he said the...
