CNC Shark Forum

Sadly I had to return two HD4 extended beds. The first one acted like it had issues with bearings being bad, the second one would consistently cut a 3d rough tool path at almost twice the programmed depth of cut, it also had areas which it looked like it skipped over large portions of g code. I had ...

I used mdf cut into strips. I bought the jig making nuts from NWA and then countersunk for five screws per board. The heads are well below the top surface so I didn't have to worry about a bit catching a bolt head. Unfortunately my HD didn't ever work so I never got to see how well it would hold up

They had to completely replace my HD4 they originally shipped to me but during the trouble shooting process they had me update to the newest version. When I set up the new HD4 I found that the pendant will recognize the USB flash drive being connected but doesn't show any files. I tried to run it fr...

I hate to say this but I think I made a very big mistake in buying the HD. I have one of the original White CNC Sharks that I have made a ton of stuff on and was a big fan. Unfortunately customer service and quality control issues have turned me to the point I contacted Rockler and asked them to sen...

the question I have is that if the pendent on the other manufacturers machines is better, can someone buy a different pendent and install it on a shark? or are they a proprietary item?

Out of curiousity how much did you end up paying for the used unit? I have one of the original white machines and just ordered an HD4 (which I hope wasn't a mistake based on some of the complaints I have heard regarding the pendants) and I have had a few people ask me what I wanted for my old unit b...

Go to prescisebits.com and they have a nice collet setup for this router, the only real problem with the DeWalt unit that I have found is that the brushes only last for around 95 to 100 hours and then are done. The design was nice in that when the brushes get worn down to a certain point the kill th...

I have had 6 or 7 Bosch Colt Routers and the newer ones are not near the quality of the original ones I used. Presice bits stopped making the collets from what I heard so I ordered new collets from them for the DeWalt 611 and I ordered the new router clamp from NWA so that when this Colt died, I cou...

I had been using the old controller for a long time mainly because the computer I have in the shop has some internal issue with connecting to the internet. The computer ran the controller fine but I always had the message that there was a newer controller available. I borrowed a Mi-Fi that I could p...

I agree, I had this issue a few times and I bought a nice power supply that is big enough to run the shark and router, if it is only a brief power interruption I don't have to do anything, if it is longer I have plenty of time to shut everything down and at least return to zero so I don't waste the ...
