Yes, Even AL Who gets "Z Stall"....

[Digitalwoodshop]

I am cutting some more tags for a big order and the 1/16th End Mill Bit finally punched a hole through the Brass Roller Holder and when the bit pierced the plastic I got a Z Stall when the Z Head went down doing it's "BOB" next to the Keypad.

First project tonight so I tried again after blowing out the Z Belt with Air... Stall again... Look and a neat 1/16th hole in the Brass Roller Holder.... I will fill it with Epoxy another day... A Quick Fix... Double Sided Tape and a rectangle of this Credit Card Thick Plastic and I am Happily Carving or in my case making more Vector Cut Tag Blanks.

So even AL Who gets Z Stalls.... I am sure GLAD I read the Forum and knew what to DO....

Yes thank you goes to Al Who shares all his knowledge with the rest of us. I do not think LHR would still be around with out the help of all on this forum and you definately support the repair side for most of us here. BIG THANKS!!!

Al is it time to change your brushes, since the cut motor kept spinning on the touch down? Nice trick to fix the problem. I thought it was to glue a dime over the hole.

LOL... you been working too late again Al!

I agree, I think you should check your cut motor brushes. How many hours are on your machine? The fix is to epoxy a dime over the hole,works great! Don't worry Al will be along in a minute to help... Oh yeah!! LOL NEVERMIND...

Thanks Guys and all the other guys that have continued to share too.... I am just one of many...

It is a pretty new Cut Motor and the brushes are pretty good... And YES, that is the first question to ask... WAS the Bit still spinning as it went down and drilled the hole.... The answer in this case was no it was not... It had stopped before moving down... The Culprit in this case was the thinness of the 1/16th End Mill and the number of times it has bumped into the Brass Roller Plastic.. and finally it has punched through just due to it's thinness and the number of times...


Wrapping up for the night, 2nd Midnight in a while... Working on a Tag Order.... AND backing up pictures on a 64GB USB Thumb Drive.. And it is driving me nuts....

I finally learned to eject or safe to remove the drive, that was part of the problem... But transfered files from the Hard Drive to a FAT32 Thumb Drive, some of the pictures don't show up properly... Something I am doing wrong... When transferring or copy the files...


I am learnng...

Al Who, sprry about your luck, I am still learning the ins and outs of the CarveWright, on these blogs my big setback is lingo, would it be a huge bother to toss up a pic or two of the area that you drilled the hole? I can picture the brass roller but not the "Plastic Holder". Or if you could direct me to a schematic that would work just as well.

thanks

Al on your pictures you will need to let windows create the thumbnail (small pic you see looking thru your folder) This may take some time with the number of pics you have on your thumb drive. Leave your thumb drive in for a while and they should show up the same. Creates file thumbs.db on your usb drive.
