Nice stuff! That looks GREAT!

Have you tried the new Meanwell RD-125B in your Carvewright? If so, how does it work? Not yet, it arrives Monday.

Is it the same dimensions so it will mount easily? It is exactly the same...

Glad I added the p.s. to that post. Like the genius i am i ordered an RD125A. Should be RD125B since the 125A is 5v/12v and needs to be 5v/24v. But now i have a great little 12vdc/5vdc power...

New power supply arrived yesterday, right on time, from Jameco.

I was looking at the pdf for "Upgrading to a CX style power supply" and said "wait a minute, mine is wired like that." Sure enough,...

For what it's worth, the new power supply *may* be better than the OEM. The OEM isn't listed as "Suitable for critical operations." Having said that, other features on one just aren't listed on the...

Just about everywhere, lol. What's in my machine is a Meanwell NED-100D, which has one 24VDC output and one 5VDC output. The NED-100D is discontinued but the RD-125A should do fine. The only...

Oh man, no masking tape? To me that's rule 1 on any carve and I'm sorry you didn't know to do it.

A strip of 1" masking tape on the bottom on the board that is closest to the keyboard side of...

How is it I can't find a replacement power supply on the web site?

Mine is bad on V2, should be 5vdc but it's only 2vdc. Worked fine, tried to turn on two weeks later and d-e-d dead.

If all...

Wow that must have gotten hot. I had one get to 173 or so and it didn't melt the outer cover. It was shrieking like a banshee though. I almost always had trouble with that flex shaft. Almost...

This x a million.

A friend gave me a huge dust collector with standard bags - i want to say 50 micron but don't remember. I *do* remember getting a runny nose and starting to cough after about 4...

Call me crazy, and perhaps I missed it being said, but are you using some masking tape on the board so it engages the roller better? I had tracking problems and a strip of tape the length of the...

I run mine on the same 20A circuit as my huge dust collector. I just make sure the cut motor isn't running when I start the DC. A couple of times I used my planer and chop saw while it was all...

I apologize if this is the wrong forum.

A long story short, I did a plaque for a Marine to thank his NCO training staff a while back. He's about to graduate from Marine Corps Marital Arts Program...

I have mine connected to my DC with cheapo aluminum dryer hose. I used a piece of aluminum tape to tape it to a grounding point (oh yeah, hack-o-rama). No zapping so say what you will about my...

There's a db25 port? I may be able to work with it if data comes off it.

OOOOOOooooooh I got it.

Very nice!

I bought a new computer and have no troubles downloading the Designer 2 but I can't see where to download vectors, centerline text and keyhole software. I probably have a case of the dumb. Can...

It's sort of relevant in this thread - I run my CW and a 2 hp dust collector on the same 20A circuit. I just make sure that the DC is up and running before carving starts. The DC draws something...

Thanks.

I was unpleasantly surprised to see about half a dozen marks on the bearing end of the shaft where it was obviously tapped out of the bearing before. Why would they be there on a new...

I finally found time to get to looking at the machine and I didn't see any wear on the gears or broken teeth (per a different reply). Now that the lid is back on I come here and see I should check...

We have something similar in the IT world. We say "That computer ate a bowl of Boot Loops."

Honestly, I think the click is from the belt slipping but I'm not sure.

If i have to replace gears or bearings at 100 hours I will be more than a little upset. Good thing I don't have time to...

Sounds like a good idea, and i will check, but I have to ask: Wouldn't issing teeth cause the problem no matter what wood I use? It *only* happens with red oak ( as opposed to poplar, the only...

I'm having some Y axis trouble but haven;t been able to really address it much due to a death in the family and then a wedding. Lemme say I'm sick of driving!!

I'll hear it skip but only on the...

My LCD displays arrived and while I was looking at how to wire them in I found this project ready to copy - displays temp and humidity with a sensor I have around the MSL somewhere. This part will...
