FOUND the bugger! How the machine even worked at all is beyond me... But I had some spares, replaced it, adjusted the tension on the leadscrew...
Fascinating. That's exactly what I intend to check right after my morning dose of caffeine!
Hi, You guys have so much more insight into this sort of thing than I. Thank you. I'll check the setscrews tomorrow. It has to be SOMETHING...
The X-axis skipping has not been resolved. I'm tearing my hair out. I was mistaken in stating it only happened close to the origin and on the...
A quick report-back: Changing the speed worked brilliantly. I had assumed that because there was very little resistance to the diamond stylus, I...
Hi, Is there a way to restart a job in the middle of a cut? Case in point: While cutting the side of a full size airplane out of 15mm ply, my...

Hi, I don't seem to be able to get my head around changing bits. Using Estlcam and specifying a different bit (for engraving) CONTROL dutifully...
Excellent. I have to say - the tech-heads behind CONTROL are on the ball. Thank you.
Hi, I need to cut four pieces of 1.5mm 4031 Chrome Moly steel for the wing attachments. Any idea if (1) the Workbee can handle this (Trochoidal)...
Hi Peter, Just a heads-up. The time elapsed dialogue after a probe displays a garbage time. No need for a screenshot - try it. Regards, Duncan
Hi Peter, No VFD. I put the min and max speeds just because I could. But fully manual. Duncan
That's interesting. I'll give it a go tomorrow morning. Thanks.
