Tom,
If you have verified the head is level, 4 posts are clean and lubed and the gears on the underside of the machine, you might try adding a washer into the crank handle. I THINK? the washer goes between the handle and the spring.

put a washer in and head presser went up to 75-80 doing a test carve naw .

Tom,
Glad that did the trick for you!!

carve was good but the cutout is still off a bit . whent to the pdf sec. and saw another pdf about head pressur and head leavel . am going to try that one . its diff than the one i have printed out . but i will not be able to do a test carve cut out till tommrow . the other prob i am haveing is that its not mesureing the board right its allways shorter after the cw mesures it ex. the board in the cw is 11 1/4 an the cw reads 10 7/8 . tracking sensor works board sensor works i did a sensor test and all was aok . the off set cut out started when i took the board sensor off to get all the dust out that was caussing it to have a check board sensor prob. . ok off to the cw to try again .

Tom,
You might need to run the calibration procedure on the machine. There is a pdf on that as well...

[Tom75]

i did the calibration on it to day beforf work al whent well untill it did thickness test with the 3/8 bit it stoped and said check board sensor so i wiped it with a rag and tryed again and whent through all the motions and finnished . will try another test carve in the am . but i think i need a board sensor. i did take the sensor out last week and cleand it .

[Tom75]

did another test carve . just a basic circle with a carve reagin in the center much better . the problem i seem to have is when you put a squair on the edge most of it is squair (5/8 -3/4) of it is squair then it tapers in from bottom to top . an is mesuring the board the wrong length shorter the the board is . any more suggestions ? i will look through the pdf's and see if there is any thing els i should try . thanky you all for the support and help .

ok i some what figured out the mesure problem . last week when i removed the tracking sensor the little rubber pice fell out i found it and reinstalled it the mesurements or off not by much i did a mesure test several times and get diff mesurements . the board i am useing is 14.875 x 4.625 x .50 . length i get is 15.014 , 15.019 , 15.06 , 14.994 , 15.016 , 15.00 . width 4.650 , 4.653 , 4.665 , 4.658 , 4.657 . thickness .552 , .520 , .520 , .521 . i have the mesurments listed in the order that i got them
