Shark HD enclosure latch

I purchased one of the acrylic enclosures from Next Wave for my Shark. It is expensive, but acrylic and the parts just cost a lot. In the end, I really paid them about $100 to engineer the enclosure, which was well worth the money. The enclosure is strong, and certainly solves my dust problem. I hav...

flashing lights on the controller

I can't find any documentation as to what it means when the blu and yellow lights on the front of the controller are flashing, the other light is off, and the program thinks the controller is off. Can someone help. Thanks,
Chris

Re: Loosing Z zero at start of run

The motor does not hit the end stop when raising or lowering. The coupler between the motor and the threaded rod is tight. When the slipping occurs, it seems to be in about the center of the threaded rod at the same point. It does not seem possible that the threads on the metal worm gear could be wo...

Loosing Z zero at start of run

After a file is loaded and told to run, my machine moves to 000 , raises the bit up above the work a couple of inches, then decends down to the surface to be cut. At least that is what it does when it is working correctly. At present, my machine moves to 000, raises the bit above the work, then star...
