Thanks again. I solved this issue - it was actually in the software - I had the board settings the length of the board and not compensating for the extra 7 inches needed. Changed the board length...

The carving is only 12 inches wide and 12 inches long. Its a jig, nothing fancy - just a large shallow hole (.125 in) within a 14 inch wide and 24 inch long board.
The board has moved end to end...

Finished my first 4 projects. Now starting my next batch.....but.....
Getting VERY tried of spending time with this machine. Have double checked all the suggestions from last time. Board is fine....

Thank you Rick. Its been a struggle, but with my old machine I got through it pretty well on my own (no internet forums to help then!) Thats probably what what causing my frustrations.

Absolutely. Now I am working on the finishing side of projects carved thus far. Not exactly how I had hoped, but it too, will be another learning session. Thanks Mugsowner! :)

Thanks Lynn. Was gardening all day yesterday and some this morning and finally got to watch the machine very closely. Checked everything you listed to no avail.... but while watching I noticed the...

Head pressure was 78 lbs on home scale (not sure on accuracy of it)
Boards are flat and square with no imperfections. 3/4 inch thick
I do not know on the compression roller dropping or not.

I really appreciate your help. But you know, you shouldnt be the one showing/telling me this stuff. Its a shame that LHR doesnt create how-to videos on the troubleshooting aspects of this very...

Ok, I have checked everything that has been mentioned short of the micro-switches, which I cant see. It appears to become a paperweight of which I have no use for. THe error message I am getting...

I am getting closer to giving up! I have deleted the back side (keyhole) - but will it carve in the center as it was supposed to? I dont want the keyhole to hang the carving sideways!
I created a...

The boards are indeed very light in color.... not having worked with maple very often, I dont know if the color is "out of the ordinary" for maple.
Interesting on the tape placement. I havent...

Thanks for the tips. I have not tried the masking tape as yet. Interesting in that all 5 of my projects thus far have been on maple and it is indeed very smooth and light in color. All are 3/4 inch...

Funny, got it to work on the backside - keyhole and a small carve, but then it failed me again on the front side. Measuring issues. Literally ran the board out from under both rollers.
Getting too...

Will try that. But the maple board was just cut on 4 days ago by a hardwood shop that I have worked with for years and does premium work. The board did lay flat and had no depressions or otherwise...

Machine is about 4 weeks old.
Is this "brass" roller considered the "tracking roller"? There is no mention of the tracking roller in the manual. The error message was "clear tracking roller"... The...

Now I am getting a tracking roller error message. Have looked through the manual twice completely and nowhere does it mention a "tracking roller".... compression rollers, tracking sensor roller,...

Thank you. I was also wondering about it slipping... maybe I should use a router instead? Is that what you and others do?

I recently just got my machine and have completed some simple designs. (Also new to these forums)

Just received the keyhole bit. I cannot find anywhere as to how far I place the bit into the...
