Re: Spindle water question...

Re: Shark HD4 Extended stand

I would want it sitting directly on the floor, mostly for the ability to ensure it is as perfectly level as possible. If casters shift, it can throw off the level, and add tension to the legs causing twist. Of course all of this depends on how 'rigid' your construction is. If you are building this o...

Re: Shark Pro Plus HD (original) help

Now unfortunately the issue is happening again, with the cables stretched out (unbent).

As soon as I pulled the controller off of the shelf, and switched the x and y axis I was able to...

Shark Pro Plus HD (original) help

Hey everyone, I've had this shark for six or seven years, since the HD first came out. It has worked great over the years. Now it is no longer moving in the Y-axis (my X since I changed the cables). It can't seem to turn the screw under the table. My plan is to strip the top off, and see if there is...

Re: Custom T-shirts on the CNC Shark

Cool idea. How did you keep the cutter from going all the way through the backing of the vinyl?
