at least now I have some hope. Been looking and looking but haven't found a place or person to even ask yet. I reached out to Alan Malmstrom through linkedin but no response. Don't know of course...
The 2 patterns I need are: (1) B24 bomber in head-on attack view (2) B24 bomber in quarter view about a 45 degrees angle showing the full plane. I will use to decorate a WWII memorabilia box...
that sounds reasonable and makes sense, now off to the machine to give it a go, thanks. This only seems to happen when I use a pattern that needs to be cut out such as this decorative award sign so...
here is the sequence of loading so maybe you can see where I'm going wrong: following your instructions as to barely crankdown at first; then complete crankdown when asking for the bit; along with...
I have had a few successful carves with the UCB and really am pleased with it. BUT....I have brain freeze when I try to do a cut out carve, I can't get past the "finding board thickness" and of...
Just came across the shop lighting/sensor problem. (I think) it was my problem. Using the UCB and when the sensor was measuring the length it kept stopping same place "clear sensor". Frustrated,...
Interesting: I thought the more narrow the bit the shallower it carved so I have been selecting the 60 when I use the 45 or 22 degree bit. I will need to reexamine that thought. But if you are...
Your photos are a better example of the quality of text when using the narrow v-bits. As said before when I do a plaque on fine grain wood it really compares to laser carving. Good plaques rmock.
Have only found those narrow v-bits in 1/4 shaft. (MLCS) That is why I wish CW would offer some different degrees with a pressed collar. But I use Whiteside collars which have 6 "squeeze slots" and...

I said previously that the text came out nearly as clean as though laser carved. Of course in coarse wood such as pine that is a little overstated but I did a more formal plaque in cherry and...
I select 60 degree and what you will find is that the font has more to do with the outcome than the 60 or 90 degree selection. Some fonts just don't do well in the CW and some are just better with...
Re: small plaques, bird houses or similar. For awhile now I have been using a 22 degree bit for centerline text carving that needs to be small text. I have found it to be very good when doing small...
I just brought the sign patter in to the screen and then added text over the top of it. the sign carving of course leaves a trim area around it that doesn';t get carved. that area is cut away on...
I'm using the 20 sign blanks purchased off the CW. Can't get the centerline text to carve on the finished sign. The sign is carved first and then it tries to carve with 90 bit but it found the 90...
appreciate advice; first thing I did was change outlets/check circuit. all ok there. i'll look at FAQ but where would a disconnect be in the power on circuit. machine has been working pretty well...
Getting x-axis stall message then machine immediately turns off. What causes? New (reconditioned) machine days old.
Did you ever resolve the issue about "insert bit" when a bit was already installed? I have the same error messages.
