HELP
The last three projects I have worked on the router is not lifting up high enough sometimes and carving shallow lines in the material between what ever I am carving. It dont do it all the time but enough to ruin the project. Can anyone help?
Re: HELP
Hhave you checked your settings to ensure that it is set high enough for safe travel ? Do you have the proper material thickness and starting point, surface of material or table
?
Also when the problem occurs, what happens if you send it back to 0.,0,0
? Does it go to the correct location ?
Another thing that I find useful when it acts up is to just unplug and restart the program. Occasionally mine acts up and that has always fixed it.

Re: HELP
Thank you for the help, yes I have checked all of the above. It lifts high enough most of the time but theres a few times it dont and ruining the project. The router does go back to zero. It has me puzzeld. I havent changed any settings and have done alot of carvings, it just started this 3 carvings ago. I did change the Z safe travel setting but still did it. Its aggravating when your an hour into a carving and this happens. Not to mention expensive.
Re: HELP
I had a problem with mine before where it would just dive into the project, usually about 10 minutes before the end of the carving. I contacted new wave automation and sent my box back to them and they replaced something inside.
Are you running a dust collector on it? If so is it grounded?
I'd shoot their support people and see if they can help you.
Like you, I have a pile of half completed projects and it does get very expensive and frustrating.
Let us know what you find out to be the cause

Re: HELP
Is your wood warped? Sorry if that sounds liek a question to a noob, but it's hard for people to know what other people do or do not know.
Just a small-scale amateur woodworker trying to take it to the next level...
