Guys, I have a K2 3925 that I use for making guitars.
I have used it for some months without any problems apart from gcode...
my problem now is that I have jigs and regular positions for all of my various body shapes etc but..
its got pretty cold in my workshop now and the CNC at first wouldnt even move without stalling but I fired up the workshop heater and it started to work OK !
then I ran a program that is a common one and the X axis was out by around 6mm. I didnt notice until I removed the workpiece and the centreline of the timber was not in the centre of the body..
I restarted the PC and ran it again dry and this time the X axis was out by 3mm ???????
is it losing counts or something in the cold ?? ive checked the temperature range for teh gecko drives and cant find any details - ive asked K2 about the motors that they use but they didnt reply.
is it simply that I need to clean the ballscrew and regrease it?
help ! - BTW, there are no work offsets set in Mach 3 other than Z axis !
Oh, of course I would ask K2 - but their customer service is the worst ive ever experienced, they have NEVER EVER got back to me when ive contacted them.
