Also, the machine will not completely .000 on Y-X-Z axis, and the company can not provide me a solution to fix this problem. The machine clearly gives a warning that the limit ranges are wrong but when I confronted tech support they had me input some changes into the NK260, when this did not work they told me that the machine will be fine with these inaccuracies. I am also having a problem with the machine fabricating my Vectrics Aspire 3D files. There seem to be problem areas at different locations throughout the piece fabricated, where the machine creates very rough areas or obnomablies, very noticeable and some pieces that cannot be used at all. This makes the machine untrustworthy on long fabrication pieces. I also have a ShopSabre 4x8 machine and never have these problems, even when using the exact same file. If the company would have provided me a correction for my .000 limit problem instead of making me live with this, I would feel a little better about them, especially with all the problems I had with them in shipping my machine. If I had to do it again I definitely would look elsewhere for a machine.
