Dave, hang with us. I agree with Doc and Michael, we've all had our "whoops" posts...lol You aren't the first and you won't be the last. I've made a few blunders myself and I'm sure I will again!!
What's that they say about falling off the horse?? Time to RIDE!!

I agree with the rest Dave, don't leave because of a mistake.
I have an infraction against me for a (what I thought ) was a light hearted and sarcastic post, offense was taken and I got reported, I have no problem with the mods and how it was handled. I goofed, the written word is not always taken the same as if it was heard.
Stick Around.
If it doesn't fit force it. If it breaks then it needed replacing anyway.

Well it comes down to the percentage of the time that you are correct..... I too posted a few theories that were later found to be WRONG.... I was wrong about the Z encoder being in the plastic gear box and getting contaminated.... Missed that one by about 3 inches.... The encoder is on the other end of the Z Motor as seen in the many times I have posted the pictures of it.... I was wrong and came back.... There are at least 2 other things I was wrong on but with over 1000 posts.... It all comes down to the percentage of the time that you are right....
Please don't go away.... Putting Centerline Text in a recess area is a topic that I would love to see solved... Yes the bit could hit the rim of the recessed area if you lie to the machine and tell it that the board is thinner than it is......
Hopefully someday the LHR Software GOD's will write some code and give you the option to engrave safely in a recess.... Like the scan probe you define the areas.... It is possible just needs to get to the top of the Software guy's list...

Dave these guys are right. I haven't bought my cw machine "yet" but I have learned a lot in the meantime by reading these posts. No one is right 100% of the time. But you learn from your mistakes and pick up and go on. Besides if you never make mistakes you are not doing anything. This is a great community and there is a lot to be learned from everyone here including yourself. Woodworkers are a great bunch of people and are rarely stingy with their knowledge and that is one of the things I love about it. So keep posting, keep thinking and asking questions.
To the rest of you guys thank you for all of your input and support not only to my questions but to everyone else's because I read them to. Lord knows I need all the help I can get
