I will try that. How much is the sensor assembly? I will buy one so if I screw up the original I have a fall back.

Here is the link to the board sensor. $23 plus shipping so order anything else you need as well to take advantage of the shipping.

Thank you for taking the time to find this. I appreciate it.

Thanks to the information on this thread I have found out why my sensor isn't reading the workpiece. Using option 7 I got a reading of around 60 on the workpiece.

I use pre-finished drawer fronts from a furniture maker for my projects. Some have dark stains that I want to keep. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fool the sensor so it will read the size of the board and start the project?

Masking tape on the board edges where the sensor looks. (A few layers if it is cheap masking tape transparent to IR.)

I will give that a try tomorrow. It is 32 deg. in the shop now so I will wait. Thanks.

Yep, your shop needs to be at least 55 degrees to assure the machine operates properly. I use two inexpensive 'radiator-style' oil heaters to keep the shop warm (an uninsulated 2-car gargage). Temp seldom dips below 68-ish degrees in winter. Saw a ton of them stacked in an aisle at WalMart for only $38 each yesterday.

I'm having issues with my board censor and its a recondtion board censor I hav'nt gotton back to the machine but it's reading way high into the numbers 239 on the censor i think that i have a wire pinched in the sleeve on the harnes make sure the harnes is not pinched to make sure u don't have to do it twice..as I said before it's the dumb things that i do that make me smarter...
