I’m getting a little frustrated with my Carvewright, it’s an older B machine, that I have had for several years and used very little. I went to the CNC Jamboree in Ohio this year and came back all fired up, bought a bunch of upgrades including the carvetight, and the z motor which it turns out I didn’t need, but I broke a part taking it out and put in the new one anyway.
While doing all of that I lubed the flexshaft, cleaned and lubed the rails and lead screws, all the stuff I could think of while I was getting it ready to go.
When I first use it several years ago the head pressure was low, so I checked that and found it to be 45 – 50, so I went through the steps to increase from the website and no change, the tie rod doesn’t have much play in it, but I could be seeing just flex in the rod….
Is there any hope that I will get this thing up and running? I really want to make some carvings.
