CNC Shark Forum

It's been a few months since I used my Shark. Tonight I plugged it into my laptop and it makes the sound like it's plugged in but it says it's not registered and the yellow light on the control box is flashing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, after resetting the z zero it would not carve until i shut the machine down. The machine and bit are brand new, not even a month old. Nextwave's tech support is pathetic at best thats why I turned to the forum. If I can't remedy this I will be returning it.

I initially was using the 1.5 control panel with the touch plate and had no issues since it was new. Then the other day it was carving text that wa...

Thanks for the info. I still can't understand why the Department of defense has the official seal of every branch of the military available for download in four different file formats and within each format a color and black and white version if they are so protected. Apparently as taxpayers we are ...

How do I know if something is copyrighted? The Marine Corps file i found was on the Department of Defense website as an downloadable eps. file.

ok, I ungrouped the the vectors now I would like to add the outline of the flag on the right side. I drew new vectors and closed them. They show up as selected but won't show up in the toolpath. Why won't it show in the toolpath?
