CNC Shark Forum

While I am a rank amateur with a new Shark that does not want to run... I have checked out the principle behind a couple of keyhole programs. One, on the Stepcraft video series, uses a 3/8" diameter Keyhole "T" bit which is plunged down to leave at least 1/8" of wood over the bit, then runs 1" befor...

Thanks, guys. I see one must import a vector art clip, then "select" it to be "outlined" before it can be "officially selected" (dotted purple line) in order to be "tool pathed"... I'm watching hours and hours of tutorials, but they move to click icons so rapidly and the screen resolution is so fuzz...

Well, 'Still does not recognize the animal clip art... I thought, in "selecting " the oval pattern containing the Duck, that the Duck would be carved, but all it cut was a flat oval, even though the preview pic showed the Duck in center 0f the carving...

When it listed my codes in blue highlight in the next to last window, I was just clicking on "next", without firmly clicking on the blue highlighted Serial Number first... Now to figure out how to "select" the clip art pieces i...

Thx, but I've registered mine and keep all the info sheets in a special folder so have studied them and repeated step by steps. I even photo all the ID numbers so have them on my phone

Yes, Animals and borders... I'm confused. How can I create a fish vector before loading the fish file? I've drawn the work piece and positioned the Clipart inside it. Do I need to draw around the art? Guess you're saying to draw a shape on the workpiece, then put the clip onto that shape...

Im having the same problem on my new, as yet unwoking, HD3 Extended Bed unit. I have carefully installed the touch plate per instructions dozens of times, and the control screen does show .374 (yes, I type in .375, but a flashing message keep saying .374 inch touch plate thickness). But the button t...
