Shark HD4 extended isn't cutting square...
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2018 5:03 pm
When I cut a rectangle profile it does not come out square. I believe that the gantry is not square to the Y axis. This problem also showed itself when I drilled
four symmetrical reference holes for a two sided part; when i went to flip the part the holes did not line up correctly.
I ran a 3,4,5 square test and it revealed that it is cutting about 1/16" or so out of square on a 15"x20" rectangle (diagonal length should be 25" but on one side it's 24 15/16" and 25 1/16" on the other).
While inspecting the gantry I noticed that the 3 horizontal set screws on the right end of the gantry(where the gantry rides the rail) were very loose and the ones on the left end were just snug tight.
Does anyone know the correct procedure for squaring the gantry(x axis) to the y axis?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
