Does winCNC have some sort of screwmapping or table calibration available? I am seeing quite a bit of error from my machine but all the hardware checks out otherwise.

I'm sure this is a common issue but I have not been able to find it in a year of searching.

I make laminated stocks of 5 boards glued together, forming a 3"x3"x48" stock. The problem is the...

MFG came out and replaced the gantry. Somehow it was warped.

Thank god I didn't buy an imported machine.

For follow up,

this was just esd.

It was solved by running a copper wire INSIDE and OUTSIDE/around the dust collector hose. The hose is vinyl, which is not helping I am sure. I ground to...

Camaster said they would have to send someone out but its a two month wait. Twisted gantry.

WTH causes a twisted gantry?

This machine has had multiple issues with motors failing and bearings going out. I wonder if it's related somehow? It's only 9 months old.

I've adjusted the resolution, it appears spot on. When routing out 4" test squares, squares close to x0 will be nearly spot on in size, but squares close to xmax exceed the dimension by 20 mil. ...

I was hoping it would be as simple or easy as that but the error is positive and consistent with any feed speed. I am cutting at 50ipm at 1/8" DoC with a 2" length 1/4" bit. Cuts on the right side...

The Laguna is by far the best option. The stepcraft has some bizarre features like a long belt drive system and the bearings you mentioned. Shopbot is good but expensive for the size you're looking...

I have a commercial 2'x4' cnc with rack and pinion drive on X & Y. The machine cuts about 20 mil over size on the far side of the x axis whether its a 3" rectangle or 6" circle. Its close to spot...

I have a light commercial cnc machine for woodworking that has significant +- variance across the x axis, about +-.01". Over the entire length (24") of the axis the error seems to average out enough...

Thanks Jim! Thats good news and I am surprised at the results.

I have a camaster stinger 1 with a 1kw spindle. With 1/2" pine wood, I have been making .125" doc passes with 50% stepover on a 1/4" three flute bit with an OAL of 4", with about 2.5" out from the...

Oh buddy that must have been interesting to work out. In this case, the shift only happened on one "arc", but not the rest. I am really hoping its just esd.

I have a camaster stinger 1 that is about 6 months old that keeps digging into the model portion of the stock. It doesn't do it right away, but eventually a tool path will go too low. What's weird...

Thanks, harvey tool had one of the bits but I realized that you can just ask a distributor to request a longer version.

I am trying to find 2-3 flute 4" oal 1/4" end mills and I'm not finding any. Anyone have a reputable source? My machine runs about 320ipm. I am cutting hardwood by the way.

bonus points if any...

Just as a follow up, the machine was fine when measured.

When surfacing my spoil board I noticed ripples that can barely be felt by hand. It does not look like the machine is adjustable, so this has me worried. When I take a the spoil board bit and spin...

You can see the gap I was talking about between the leg of the tray and the pillow bearing. Disconnecting this takes care of the issue entirely. I shimmed it with a washer between the bearing and...

I did that and noticed it's probably an issue with the Y-axis legs. I suspect one of the legs is slightly warped from welding, so it's exerting a pulling force on the bearings with all bolts in...

I want to bolt my 30mm spacing linear rails to the inside of an square(ish) frame constructed of 3060 extruded aluminum from 80/20. The linear rails are 1300mm sbr16 and it appears their bolt holes...
