Thanks for the tip. I do have a heat gun.

I appreciate all the feedback. When I examin the break in the scrrew, its pretty obvious that it was half broken before it finally came off. So I would say quarrydesigns is right about it being...

I got my new beariing for my Z-truck. I have printed the 15 pages of instructions fo replacing it. This is no easy repair. The question that haunts me is why the holding screw head broke off in...

I got my new bearing and have printed the 15 pages of instructions on how to replace it. This is no minor job, and I don't want to do it any more than once. The question that keeps haunting me is...

I seldom get the message within 30 seconds. Its usually a few minutes. That's what is so frustrating. I have to stand around and wait to get the message, and then it goes off at full speed.

Magnet OK. On the cut motor, isn't it true that after you hit ENTER, the motor runs at full speed from then on? Jerry

The screw was broken off in the bearing, and no way to get it out. I just ordered a new bearing for $20.00 including shipping. How do I check the magnet retainer? Jerry

Good to hear from a fellow Kentuckian. I've had a machine for close to two years. They had never resolved the problem I was having with the "check cut motor" problem, and finally gave me a rebuilt...

I found the bearing. Can't believe it, the heaqd of the screw that holds it was sheared off. This machine has 8 hours and 16 minutes on it, but the time for waranty is up. I have not used it for...

Thanks for the warning.

Al, as usual you are a big help. Let me begin by sayiing that this machine is one Carvewrite replaced for me. It has only 8 hours and 16 minutes on it. So I think we could rule out any excessive...

I've blown out the machine and soo no chips anywhere. The bit goes down all the way on the right side of the machine, before traveling to the left. When moving to the center, it seems to move...

Thanks for your suggestion. What happens is that the bit travels all the way to obove the plate, the plate comes out, but the bit just goes down about an inch, then kicks back up, not reaching the...

When homing, the bit doesn't go down and touch the plate before returning back to the left side. I had this problem once before, but a good cleaning seemed to remedy the situation. This time it does...

I missed that Doug. Now I have to figure out what to do with it.

bjbethke I really like the results you got with the horses. When I downloaded them, they came across as the letters AB. Must not be able to download them unless I have your font program. Jerry

bjbethke I just saw this for the first time. Did you do this with your font program? That's exactly the results I want to get. Jerry

Wow, there's a wealth of information on that thread. Thanks Jerry

That's beautiful ! What font generator program do you have? I have Scanahand, and have not had very good luck with it. Can you put one image in a font without doing 26 characters? Would your...

I went to the web site you used to trace. I couldn't figure out how to trace. I did get the horse into the program, but where do I go from here? Jerry

You dare to lie to your machine???? If it works there must be some forgiveness. Jerry

Putting it in a font and using Centerline program, the bit will go up and down to follow the thickness of the lines in the drawing. Doing it just vector you get the same width of cut throughout. ...

Hope you get it resolved. Al has been a great help to me on several occasions. Jerry

I have had this problem ever since I got my machine, and I have been watching the Forum and know many of you have had the same problem. I discovered something today !! Before I turned on my air...

I did do the horse's head in Centerline by using a font program, but the font program I used (Scanahand), is not a very good program, and I lost clarity by reducing the drawing so small. I got this...
