Hi Everyone,
I just recently bought a used Laguna 5x10 Smart shop II. Its two years old and has been used pretty lightly with the previous owner. I cut 3/4" HDPE to make outdoor furniture. I am having and issue with wave like patterns on the edges of my cuts. Its happening on every axis. I use Vortex Bits and reached out to them and they looked at the pics I have attached and said that this was not a tooling issue. I also sent my VCarve Pro Toolpaths to Vectric for review and they said everything was good. So next I called Laguna Tech department and they say that this type of pattern is associated with loose belts or bad pinions. Today I am going to remove the pinions and check for damage. The belts look good. It seems like the issue is very present coming out of corners after the bit starts to speed back up. I thought that maybe there is a parameter in the control software that needs to be changed but were not there yet. I have attached pics. If you have any idea any advise would be appreciated
Thanks
Nick
