Thanks, I received notice it was shipped yesterday. Looking forward to getting this behind me/us. Before I bought this machine I was free handing all of my signs. We would trace or stencil the pattern we wanted and I would carve it out using a router and a 1/4" v - carving bit. Sometimes smaller det...

Yeah, I am saving them to the arc inch file and can easily load them into the Shark Control panel. The errors were random I first thought but I put a sign back into place and recut it using the file, bit, zero, and depth. It did what it did before meaning it ramped in the same places and cut over tw...

As for the Post processor, I am using what Rockler sold with the machine. Bowed stock is not the problem as I realize bowed material would be problematic - I plane everything that is not perfectly flat before it goes on the table. And, I am careful to check it after clamping too. As for the table no...

Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate the thoughts and help. I am going to take this to Shark forum for sure. But the good news is, I changed the y axis setting in "control E" to positive, left x negative, and left Z positive. That fixed the mirror thing. I caused the router to try to go o...

I do not understand what happened overnight but things are screwed up again this morning. Y axis is backwards when control E, 787, is set to factory settings. Text is mirrored, meaning you would have to hold it up to a mirror to read it. Plus, I have the text ramping problem back - meaning the bit g...

I followed the directions in the Shark Forum post and did a couple of test cuts. The first time the router assembly tried to take x+ off of the gantry! I used control E, & 787 to access the setup numbers and changed the negative on X to positive.That seems to have fixed it as last night I carved a c...

Thanks for the reply Martin54!

I took a look at the post you linked to, it might be what I need. Later today or Sunday, I will turn the gantry around and go through the steps outlined on that thread. Can't hurt anything as long as I write the numbers down before I start, right?

All the best!

I have owned my CNC Shark 16 x 24 about a month and have zero cnc experience this may be something i did but I don't know what: First, out of the box, started it carved the text right to left and mirrored - readable if you held it to a mirror. I took the gantry off and put it back on backwards, faci...
