150 hour carves would certainly change the economics of it... The warranty would expire partway through the second project!

Let me put it another way...

If I create a .ptn file, I own the copyright on that file.

While it is admirable that LHR has created a system that will assist me in restricting others from...

I've been pretty silent for quite some time, but feel that I must finally chime in.

I was delighted to see that the pattern depot came on line, and was intrigued to see the VectorArt3d models for...

I'm thinking A or B. I removed the probe from the quick change and shook it around a little bit while reading the probe sensor, and it stayed closed, same with flexing the wire from the probe.

Is...

You might also be suffering from the dreaded z-axis plunge. Does the cut just get progressively deeper until it pierces through the board? If so, for some reason the z-motor sensor may be on the...

Go into Options ("0") menu and then check the sensors ("7"). Use the arrow keys until you see the screen with "Cut Sensor"

The cut sensor will start out reading "0". Spin your quick release...

Well, I still haven't been home around any time to call LHR, however, the suggestions above gave me some ideas-

1). I checked the homing sensor, and discovered that it was already broken free of...

That would make sense. If the homing sensor's natural position is "open" then removing it would not make any difference (since the machine's homing routine is now mechanically based, rather than...

Thanks everyone, I'm checking it out. I'm hoping to talk the the ever-helpful folks at LHR, on Saturday, since I have a day job that keeps me busy during the week (Thank you LHR for getting Saturday...

I haven't had a problem with my first few scans, but today, I tried to scan an object, and ran into a bit of a problem...

I go into the 1) Scan an area, option, and it homes itself without any...

Did you actually start carving? Normally at the beginning of the job it has you cycle through all of the bits in the job, so, did you abort right after it asked for the bit? Or did you wait and see...

Well, I lasted about 40 minutes before breaking out the credit card for one install. I need to do something nice for my wife before she finds out. :-)

I just hope I choose the right computer to...

I just checked the contact page at

and it seems to be intact.

I'm sorry to hear that the purchase price is for only one installation. While I was orignally disapointed about the $100, it was bearable when I thought that it would apply to both of my...

Centerline uses a V bit, either 60 or 90 degrees (60 is better for smaller text, 90 for larger). For really large centerline, you can use a signmakers bit like pkunk, I believe, described in one of...

Actually $50 was what a bunch of us were told when we called into LHR, although there was no official announcement. I think that we all more or less understood that that was tentative, especially...

Centerline is a way of carving text as a series of vector cuts using a V-bit. The thickness of the lines is changed by varying the depth of the cut.

You want centerline because it typically...

Well, at $50, it was an impulse buy. At $100 I need to check with the spouse :-( I'd feel better if maybe part of the $100 could be credited toward the advanced software package (that supposedly...

I had a few minor problems with my machine, but ultimately encountered the infamous z-axis plunge due to a dead sensor. Although the z-motor pack was quickly replaced by tech support, I couldn't...

Hmmm... Once again, I suspect I wasn't being clear, by "faster" and "cleaner" I was only comparing it to using raster mode for recessed fonts with the CW, not other ways of doing it. Nonetheless, a...

This topic has been posted to death, but to answer your question:

Centerline is a traditional way of carving fonts as a vector cut with a v-shaped bit, where the thickness of the line can be...

Personally, I'm hoping that Sears techs will be fully trained at some time in the future, since taking the unit into Sears for me would eliminate the shipping charge.

Several of the people who are...

Glad to know yours is back up and running. It will be a week until I am able to call into tech support, thank goodness for their new expanded hours!

I got my new power supply, everything fired up just dandy, started carving, and 58 minutes into the job, the bit plunged deeper and deeper into the wood each pass until it went through the board and...

It depends on what you wish to do with them. The "A" model is the one to use if you want to carve on a flat region that you have already defined. The B and C models are better for carving if you...
