SWEEEET!! Somebody was reading my mind.:occasion5:

That fixed it!! Thanks for the info, a little adjustment made a world of difference. I have no doubt that the way the crate was beat up is the reason there was a little slack in the gantry. So far I...

Thanks, Ill give that a try tomorrow.

Yep, there is a touch of play in the truck that moves across the gantry. Not side to side play, but a little forward backward play. Its not much, but a little movement there makes a decent bit of...

I did just that this last weekend, there was no warpage in the mag-lok plate. There was a little play in the taper screws so I adjusted that out and reassembled. Didnt seem to help. If I jog the...

Just in case anyone reading this is wondering, the machine is doing great other than the one little bug that was undoubtedly caused by an over aggressive shipping company. Here are a few pics of some...

Here is a pic of a line test I did on 1/8 mild steel with a cut speed of 80 ipm. You can see the smooth start and cut, but as soon as the machine makes the turn down the line it gives a vibration...

Come to think of it, I did notice when I was first inspecting the machine that there was a slight bit of play between the mag lock plate and the set screws. It wasnt a lot, but there was some play. I...

Quick question, one problem I am running into is that I get a bit of a "wiggle" (excessive IMO) in my cut right after the machine makes a corner. I only have a problem when cutting at speeds above...

It wont be long before I can post some pictures just like that!

Got the computer desk in place and all the wires run, now I just need to tidy things up a bit and quit playing with my new toy and...

This will be my log as I learn and grow with my new CNC plasma table from Bulltear. Being as I dont have much spare time I decided to let Matt and his crew build me a turnkey table rather than...
