Re: Controller not connecting via USB with Win 10

Thanks for the restore tip, frank4ever! Okay, for anyone else who has this issue with the Windows 10 1607 Build (breaks a number of things including how my USB connects to the controller).

Re: Controller not connecting via USB with Win 10

Why isn't there a page with the drivers to download if this is something that a lot of people experienced? Just wondering why a phone call is necessary.

Controller not connecting via USB with Win 10

My WIN 10 computer was running the CNC Shark Control Panel software without too much trouble until an update earlier this week.

Re: Horrible squealing noise from z-axis movement

Any tips on cleaning the screws? My machine has seen some heavy use this week and I probably need to give it a good cleaning.

Re: Horrible squealing noise from z-axis movement

I'm using Liquid Wrench Dry Lubricant. Is there a better brand I should be using? I'm all for suggestions :)

Horrible squealing noise from z-axis movement

I have had my Shark Pro HD for quite a few years now. Recently it started making a horrible noise with any movement from the z-axis. Up, down - it makes a squealing noise. I cleaned and sprayed dry lube on the screws and stabilizer bars and it is still making the noise. Are there bearings that could...

Machine hovers above work piece

Okay, I'm sure I did something wrong, but I can't figure it out. I followed the tutorials and set up a simple text carving program. Loaded it up in the CNC Shark Control Panel, jogged the machine to Zero and started the program. The gantry moved past the workpiece and proceeded to run about 1 inch a...
