Hello Everyone,
I've followed the forum in my spare time, just reading what goes on.
Now I am in need of some knowledge of you could kindly pass some ideas on to me...
I have a General i-carver 40-915x.
I have been using it for about a year and a half, half dozen hours a week or so goes on it.
Regular maintenance completed.
I have found at times (and happening more and more often now) that it tends to shift over randomly.
It jumps over in x and /or y-axis anywhere from .020" to 1".
I thought maybe a loose wire, shorting out possibly, or maybe too fast of feed in tight areas.
I slowed it down and yet it still did it.
I mainly cut the same profile repeatedly. 1/4" Endmill, in HDPE plastic. .050" depth of cut. Usually on carving mode low.
Sometimes it's great, other times it steps over scraps my job.
Any others that have seen this issue?
Thank you for reading!
Regards
Ross
