I think this weekend I am going to perform a complete tear down of the system and check all the gears, belts and bearings then clean the entire system of saw dust. I will update this thread after I...

I have an oak board 6 ft. 2 signs one on each end. One side it occurred at 21 inches and the other at 17.5 inches. It is random from what I am seeing. I have a table that has rollers to support the...

I have experienced/learned the roller losing contact as well as the end of the board popping up from the rollers. The board is exactly the correct length and the bump is the opposite of the roller...

I am making a sign, when the region of the sign is being carved right in the middle of the pattern there is a bump across the entire carve. It would seem to me that I have a gear skipping a tooth and...

Hi all, I am carving a sign that has a carved region. After the initial carve of the region the machine asked for a 60 degree bit, no issues yet I was expecting this for the outline carve of the...

Thanks fwharris this worked perfect. Strange bug not sure what is was all about but drawing the arc then attaching it worked perfect thanks!!

Ok I am making a sign, I have a carved region on the inside with a approx 1 inch border. I am trying to make a cut out line for the outside edge. Pretty simple in my experience as to date. But when I...

All of the patterns would work but for my sign the one Bjbethke gave me worked best. Thanks everyone for all the help!

I like centerline text but then I am not ready to purchase conforming vectors. I did as you said and yes it worked thanks!

I have one pattern that used centerline text so I bought the add on well because now I have a reason :D but to use it on my current sign I need conforming vectors because it is inly "V" grooved into...

I do have the 3/16 cutting bit. I will start trying the multi pass and the 3/16 bit. Thanks for all the help!

Yes I posted this one here then realized it should have been in troubleshooting. Sorry I did not delete this post. Now I cannot find the delete button hehe

I do have extra roller. I have the machine setup on a ryobi collapsable table. I use that table for my miter chopsaw. It is sturdy and convenient. It has built in movable support rollers. I also have...

The mpc is for a 23.5 inch length board and I was using a 70 inch board placing the pattern on the end. Attached is the .mpc I was using. The bit broke in the top of the pattern and I was using one...

I have used the cutting bit in the past with no issues. I was cutting out a large sign which is just an arch. The older bit broke and I chalked it up to a dull bit. I ordered a new one and it cut out...

I noticed during my last carve that the sand paper belts have begun to drift slightly. The edges are still on the tension rollers and do not look to have a rounded edge. I have stopped the carving...

haha wow that was what I was thinking but was hoping different. :(

I have ran into issues with the machine measuring boards that have small regions carved into them and then try to carve another into a different corner as a test run. I want to carve into the top of...

Ok so I went to run a test and the machine started to do the same thing. So I again took it apart. It is working when I crank the head up but not when I crank it down on the board. So that tells me...

I took the side off and cleaned the heck out of it. The switch however still was not compressing. I then took the side off the switch itself and VERY carefully made sure the contacts were touching. I...

Its not stuck in the "compressed" position. It never compresses. I can hear it click which tells me the switch is being pressed but the machine does not show the contact inside the switch is being...

Ok I have blown out the front roller and I can hear the micro switch click when I press up on the roller. But the roller never shows as connected, only as releases. The back roller works great so the...

That was it! It looked connected but there was 2 points that were a smiggin apart. Yes I said smiggin!! Thanks for all the help!
