Before you decide to rip the table apart, check to see if the Wisecarver rails are parallel on each side (they have a lot of play when loosened up), mine were not they were lower in the rear and one...

Hi Luthier,
I can not find any slop! but I have yet done a deep thick carve that will tell me the truth yet! I replaced the Dewalt with a Porter cable, I have been working on improving the design...

Okay Guys.. I finally got it all back together it is running just fine everything works as it should and it homes perfectly, note the wireless X-Box Joystick... that thing is a blast to have! ...

Hi Guys,
Thought I would update you with the progress on the new aluminum head I am building to replace the crappy bend steel one. So far so good, all drilling and tapping is done.. whew!! It was...

Received an email from Fran Marburgh of the office of the Indiana Attorney General, Customer protection division. I wrote them asking about the status of all of our complains against Bill Johnson of...

Sorry to hear that your machine bit the dust, BILL Johnson's machines are so poorly build that there are too many things that could go wrong it would be almost impossible to say what is wrong with...

Looks so good and is a Great machine to buy, (only If you have the dough!)

Marty,
Best way to adjust the wheel guides is while they are on the track, and all weight off them. That way you can feel the smoothness and resistance of the wheels against the track as you adjust...

To replace the magnet bolt (that is all it was) I used a 1/2 inch dia, adhesive backed neodymium magnet, I figure it will do the trick, if not there is still enough room between the rails to drill...

my order for one wisecarver 36" rail and one 3 guide wheel plate arrived today. upon inspecting the movement on the factory new rail and wheel, it was as smooth as a baby's arse with no flop at all!...

Guess you got a machine Bill and his buddies build when they were sober!

Mine matches.... However I e-mailed Mach3 tech support and requested a License under my name. They mailed me a license with my name as owner.

Hi luthier,
Well, I dunno if a 5 wheel assembly will help, it could, some one just needs to try it. The head flexes so much when under pressure ( I can actually see it) . I feel it needs to be...

I am still not statisfied with the way the machine performs. I finally worked up the guts to take it all apart again and this time I gutted the whole Z Axis head assembly. Gee, I can not believe how...

I downloaded the pdf off wisecarver's site and it explains how to perform the fit-up adjustments, they should be performed while the carriage’s wheels are engaged with the channel. See attached...

Hi All,
mmcclung hit the nail right on the head! It is the head and wisecarver guides/bearings that give too much flex and it is nearly impossible for the darn PCnC router to do any good...

Wanted to pass on some useful information on to all you PCnC owners, since I wanted to move my PC away from all the chips and dust of the router I decided to get a joystick to do all set up the work....

I also got a letter from the Indiana Attorney General's Office, I filled out all necessary forms and mailed it back. That is about it.... Guess this all takes a while. Bill is probably out of...
