    Default slipping material

    Hi

    My material is slipping when when cutting. It did not slip when I carved. I am using pine for a practice cut which could be part of the problem. I also see this with other hard woods such as when I do an edge route.
    The rollers were cleaned
    the encoder tracking wheel seems to be ok
    Y axis travel is 15.528"(-.078" to 15.468")
    the y belt was recently tightened (per the carvewright tech support suggestion, who sent me a video)... I have to run more tests..
    I recently upgraded the firmware with the latest file which got resolved the insure sliding plate is set message.

    Does this problem look like a y axis issue from the photo and is the message in the 3rd photo giving any clues?

    Thank you for any insight and help.

    John

    I did not measure, but the roller sensors show that they are enguaged

    What are your sled tails length. Sure looks like 3.5 inches.... I always do 4 inches... 3.5 inches lets the board "Tighter" on that roller "EDGE"... I like the extra 1/2 inch...

    I would try the same project again with a set of 4 inch ears... When the board it at the 3.5 inch point it can "RELEASE" enough pressure on the board to let it loosen up on the BRASS ROLLER leading to the result you see....

    And Edge Routing is not the machines strong point...

    And you have masking tape on the bottom of the board so the brass roller has something bit into?

    AL
    Favorite Saying.... "It's ALL About the Brass Roller"..... And "Use MASKING TAPE" for board skipping in the X or breaking bits.

    I do use tape on the base, but am not sure if it was on that run. Good suggestion for the extra 1/2" on the sides. The problem did happen at the edge of the piece. I'm also going to check the outter support roller. The problem did not occur with the carving, but there seems to be more lateral force applied when cutting.

    Thanks,
    John

    Yes the clutch is behind the handle. There are shims behind the handle. They are between the handle and spring and are used to push the spring forward putting pressure on the crank torque plate. The more pressure on the plate the clutch will take more load before it kicks out. Here is a link to the pasts list and drawings http://www.carvewright.com/assets/se...ist_manual.pdf. great break down drawing to see how it all goes together.

    Head Pressure is now 115 lbs. a little more than the 90 lbs specified for the max.

    It was the clutch. Rather than shimming, I took a flat head screw driver and expanded the spring. (I may have to shim in the near future).

    115 lbs is to high. You stand the chance of stripping the X drive gears with it being that high.

    Yes... I thought that the roller sensor reading was using a minimum pressure when it showed engaged

    the head pressure is only in the 50's for the rubber belt. I'll need 75-90.

    I use dry graphite rather than the lubes on the posts and the acme screws. I'll also reset the alignment.

    Thank you!
