    I think I will replace it - I think the encoder inside is bad.
  2. I think you are right Al - what do I buy to...

    I think you are right Al - what do I buy to replace those parts: 685ZZ bearings and a Y gearbox? The FCC is brand new. It is not expensive so I can always replace it again. I have not mailed the...
  3. Z truck works - now I get a Y Axis stall error

    I have to be honest I am getting discouraged - I know chin up - In my previous journey we fixed the air carving issue and replaced aging parts. I carved several sample boards to get the design...

    QC accessories available

    I upgraded to the Carvetight Z truck. I thought it was a problem however the problem turned out to be the encoder in the motor. This is a used Z truck set up for quick change. It works well. It...

  7. refining detail - does a 1/32 carving bit give more detail than the 1/16?

    I see a little refinement going from 1/16 to 1/16 long - but I will be carving in curly maple - this photo is pine practice board with the 1/16 long bit. I have a 1/32 - any thoughts?

    Success - I figured it out - I had cut many different samples into the same board it was throwing the measure off - I taped the board and voila - it worked. I am now adjusting height and depth on...

    The bit is brand new - for the carvetight spindle in the new z truck. setting it for best helped some but not enough. Now it is sizing the pattern down - I have not had that before - using it on...
  10. I did the Best optimal setting - it was a little...

    I did the Best optimal setting - it was a little bit better but not right. The truck is as tight as it should be - Too tight maybe? Also I am thinking the Y is all right but maybe that needs to be...
  11. Well the air carving turned out to be the z encoder and motor - now

    I installed a new z motor and finally have everything working. The carving is not as refined - I am thinking I may have to tighten the z-truck? I can't feel much wiggle but there is a hair.
    The...

    I am looking at which way these connect. It comes from the cut motor switch - the cable has black and white while the cables these connect to are both white. One connects closest to the end panel...

    I read through the trouble shooting documentation and at one point it said that I could swap the Z and Y cables to see if when I moved the z truck manually it moved the y sensor numbers. I don't...

    New cover switch fixed it - now I get a Z Stall

    I have replaced the roller pads, the memory card, the Flex shaft, the Z-truck assembly, the cover switch, the cut off wires to the cover switches, the head termination board, the FCC cable, and I...

    Light Bulb moment - I received the new switch and now I understand. The two brass looking posts are for the wires to connect to the switch. When I removed the cover from the old one, the wires were...

    The board sensor is working well - I will check the orientation of the plug. I will give the test a try.

    I will look at that once I can get it to do anything but give me the error message. No I have the FCC cable in correctly - there was a small nick on the edge of the old one that I was not sure if it...

    Well.... I changed out the FCC cable, the head termination board, the cut off switch cable, and the AC motor cut off cable. When I was doing it the controller cutoff switch - on the side of the...

    I did not open that one. I did open the right side, then checked the wire connections on that side, then I checked the black plug on that left side of the cover close to the key pad and the lines to...
  24. Changed out the Z truck for the Carve tight - now Close Cover error won't stop

    I cannot tell if the Z-truck upgrade solved the air carving issue because now the close cover error can't be cleared. I took it all back apart and checked all of the connections from the cover on...

    Thank-you that helps! It was cleaned and no help. I have surrendered and decided to upgrade to the CT z truck to see if that helps. Needed to be done eventually anyway. Once I get it and get it...
