    It was the brush on the dust boot. Everytime it went down to carve the brush was pushing against the workpeice and moving the spindle. So I just cut the brush shorter.
  2. Getting different results when changing the feed rate on my machine.

    I am getting different results when changing the feed rate on my machine. When the feed rate is slower the engraving looks a lot better. Anyone know what would cause this?

  3. Re: Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    Well we thought the problem was the router but both routers had the same problem. The only difference was the problem is less noticeable on the larger router. We replaced the bearing blocks on the...
  4. Re: Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    We tried a different router and the engraving looked much better. The router was the problem. No need for a new BK 15 bearing block. Thank you guys for all your help though.
  5. Re: Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    Actually it probably is the bearing block. We tried the washer and there is still some movement. Anyone know where to buy this model bearing block?
  6. Re: Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    I don't think the bearing assembly is moving inside the bearing block, the only thing that is moving is the ball screw through the bearing block.

  9. Re: Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    I did the pen test and there is a lot of play.

  10. Re: Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    Hello Peter,

    I did the triangle pocket and the left and bottom sides of the triangle seem to be straight but the top right corner looks as if the cutter went up a little bit. You can see in the...
  11. Re: Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    So with the machine turned on and motors locked I can move the entire assembly up like around a 1/16". When I press a board into the cutter the entire assembly moves up. Is it not supposed to do...
  12. Need some help, Machine not carving straight lines

    I will upload some pictures to give you a better idea of the problem. I thought maybe the angle of the cutter was wrong but when I tried this test it looks like each triangle has something wrong with...
