Instead I either cut my stock slightly larger or look at my tool paths to where I can safely countersink a screw through the stock and into the bed. The heck ...

Re: SHIFT ISSUE
I reseated the wires on the punchdown blocks inside the controller. Back in buisness. Talked to a different tech rep. He saved me 180 bucks plus shipping. Thank you!

Re: SHIFT ISSUE

Re: SHIFT ISSUE
I was on the phone with next wave support and he had me check the coupler for loose set screws. All were fine. When the controller is off I can move the x axis freely accross the gantry. I will check the bearings. I noticed today the problem is getting worse. When I jog the -x it freezes up as if it...

Re: SHIFT ISSUE
Issue isn't resolved. I slowed the machine down to 35%. I was able to make it through two pieces on my panel and on the third piece the machine made it to a half ellipse and I noticed it glitch a little in the tool path. When it made it back to the the start point it was off the width of the cutter ...

Re: SHIFT ISSUE
The story goes on with after realizing there was a problem with the end result I would replace the scrap piece :x with a fresh blank, reload the exact same file, run the path again, and the piece would come out perfect. I just ran that same circle pattern after blowing out the controller and driver ...

SHIFT ISSUE
The last few projects I have ran came up with miscuts and by miscuts I mean in comparison to the drawing or tool path a hole or feature is off a pretty reasonable amount. With this last project I was cutting a five inch circle and I litterally watched the shark pro shift in the negative Y axis (mid ...
