    IF it is stalling then the bit is touching the board LONG before the Current Sensing is turned on... The Current Sensing is what tells the bit that it has touched the board and reverses the direction. SO if the bit is TOO LONG then it will touch the board long before it expects and will be like driving a car into a wall... Something must give..... Shorten the BIT.... OR something to do with the bit not touching the bit Plate and the computer has the tip of the bit WRONG.... Watch the Bit Plate touch too...

    Bit plate touch is good. I originally started with the bit under 1 1/2 inches.

    No joy. Shortened the bit as much as I could in the rock and it did the same thing.

    Yes. Should I try putting a business card or something thin for the bit to touch?

    I recently had problems (and broke my first bit!) when cutting out the checkers. The wood was .52 thick, but kept giving me errors. I think that the machine was measuring it as less than .5 because when I added 4 strips of masking tape onto the bottom to thicken it up a hair, it worked fine. I also covered the hole by my brass roller with a dime and gave everything a good clean. I also shortend up my bit length in my rock chuck.

    Not sure which of these fixed my z-axis error, but it did.... time for a good cleaning session methinks.

    The info available on this forum was invaluable for fixing my error.

    Ole girl just got a 250 hr pm done. But, I went into designer and changed the thickness to 7/16 and it is carving away. I chose project when it asked for cut thru depth.

    Maybe you need to follow the "Calibrating the Depth (or Board Thickness)" procedure in the user calibration pdf to recalibrate the depth.

    Right now it is working great. The aspen is a shade under 1/2 so that was probably the problem.
