Re: HD4 pendant Problems

The pendant is connected to the control box by a cable. I just have to unhook it and bring it in the house so it stays warm. When I am in the shop, I have a heater to keep myself warm. When I am done for the day, I don't heat the shop. I don't think the cold hurts anything else. I don't think the co...

Re: HD4 pendant Problems

From what I understand they are. When I talked with tech support, they were very helpful an d talked me thru on getting it to work again. The only problem is it has done it more than once, but now I know how to reset the pendant. They also told me to use a eraser on a pencil or a stylus instead of u...

HD4 pendant Problems

I just got the new HD4. Used it 1 time and the color pendant has gone dead and has to be re calibrated. I called tech support and he told me to loosen the screws on the front of the pendant and put my finger on the center of the screen and turn the control box on. Then it takes you into calibrate mo...

Re: Wood Clamps. My Design.

so the surface tool path is cut before the pocket tool path.

Thanks for the help

Got a bad HD4, Next Wave had it more than I did so I returned it for a Axiom. Very solid machine in my opinion!

Re: Wood Clamps. My Design.

May sound like a dumb question, but the surface tool path would eliminate the pocket path you cut to allow the hold down bolt to go thru, unless you are flipping the board over and running that tool path to make the stock thinner.
If I am not understanding it correctly, please advise me.

Re: Any thoughts on CNC Shark HD4

I have been attending the Shark classes at my local Rockler store. They just got a HD4 in and from what I can see is the router mount is thicker and looks larger than the HD3 they also have in the store. The class members also took a look at the new Shark and commented it looks much stronger. I don'...

Re: Any thoughts on CNC Shark HD4

I know very little about the vetric software, but have been working on the trial software and watchin...
