    That sounds logical. Especially considering it did not cut all the way through as it was supposed to and this was at the end of the carve so the bit would be hotter. I did not set feed rate and did...

    The cut is clean. It is a new bit, too. No burning, which was my 1st thought. The board is just clear white pine.
    I ran my hands along the upper rollers and got nothing but white saw dust. Ran...

    Thank you. The motor did seem to change speeds. This machine is not very old. Has less than 100 hours on it. Isn't the motor outside the carve area with a whip coming into the truck? Are there...
  4. Black saw dust in the saw dust--What did I break?

    Just finished a carve with an 1/8" cutting bit. There are some areas where it cuts all the way through. When I took the board out there were tiny black "splinters" in the saw dust. It just looks...

    Something on a cut out went wrong

    I finally got the tenons laid out for a mortise and tenon shelf with supports. For the shelf using a 3/4" board I set the cut depth to 3/4" and left tabs on the sides. The first path cut nicely. ...

    Thanks. I've done that before to clean up jpg's, but in this case the person has lots of curly hair so it's going to take a little time and patience to run in and out of the curls. It will work.

    As a follow up, I got it to work and made a mortise and tenon shelf with support that will work nicely on the table. I left the outside tabs in place and just cut them out on the table saw with the...

    83130 This is pretty much want I need for each end of the shelf. I can easily chisel out the holes for the wedges. I tweaked the the dimensions slightly from what I posted earlier and think I'm...

    It worked great--the 2nd time. On the 1st try it started in with the mini pattern again. Pulled out that board and stuck in a new one. This time I told it not to stay under the rollers and it...

    Thank you. I saw where I could turn it off, but the warnings make it sound as if the machine will explode if you do.
    The cut path was originally set to go edge-to-edge, but I changed it trying to...

    I'm trying to cut out a shape for a table shelf. I need 2 tenons to come through the supports and have a hole in each for the wedge to snug it all up. Mission style. When I try to carve it the...

    Thanks again for the responses. As I was reading them the key word seemed to be "sled" and then that is what was suggested. It is a pretty easy fix. It seems as we go along one will collect a...

    I guess I'm confused. I added the 7" to avoid snipe and in the past that meant keeping it under the rollers. On recent patterns snipe has not been a concern so I said No on staying under rollers...

    Several problems

    1-The board setting is 20" long. The actual pattern is 13", but I added to make sure no snipe. The machine goes through all its gyrations and then says size is 13/20 scale to size. ???? I kept...

    Thank you for the additional input. The oddest thing about this is that I had a bit in the machine and took it out, but it was tough to do so. Had to back off the set screw almost all...

    I took the curved piece out, cleaned up the little bit of gunk from it, clean the socket, put it back in and it still won't bite. It only bites if there is no bit. I have to back it way off to get...

    I didn't take the screw all the way. Don't want to not be able to get it back in. If I stick my "pinky" in the chuck it tightens up on it just fine. Sadly, my pinky is worthless for carving. To...

    Same width. There was no message about Place on corner. Could the color of the board have any impact?

    Thanks. I didn't use a sled. Maybe the truck is hanging up and I just didn't notice? It seems odd that it ran this design just fine several times and now not so much.

    Created a design. Centered it on the board. It gets carved 1/2" off center. It is moved away from the edge that has the display (towards the center of the machine) if this makes a difference. It...
