I finally got the sensor clean enough to see the board and now this.
I am getting a Z Axis stall Error 246 when the machine is trying to find the board surface.
After measuring the board it goes to “finding surface”. The Y truck moves all the way to the near side and the Z truck moves down till the bit touches the metal squaring plate a couple times. Then it moves all the way to the far side and a small arm swings out. The Z truck then moves the bit down in an apparent attempt to touch that arm. The bit misses the arm a couple times and then the Y axis moves to the near side and the bit moves down to touch the board. As soon as contact is made I get the Z axis stall Error 246.
I removed the rib on the bearing sweeper in the past and got a couple carvings and haven’t used the machine in quite a while. There is less than an hour on the odometer.
I unplugged the machine and manually moved the Y axis all the way to the far side and swung the arm out. There is no mechanical obstruction to the arm coming out far enough for the bit to touch the middle of it. When I was able to get it to carve the bit touched only on the rounded edge. Is there an adjustment I can make to get the arm to swing out farther?
I tried to go directly to support by clicking on the Support thread but got this
