One question, do you think that you could limit the height of the z in the z axis setting so when it pulls up so it doesn't max out to the top when finished with a cut? Thanks.

Very helpful. Keep at it if you can. I wish MASSO had a video showing all the settings and variations and reasons for one or the other. From what I've found, even the manual online is lacking. I recently had a problem with mine. On starting the E-STOP button would not release. Sent a video to Onefinity and they instantly new the E-STOP setting on my machine was reversed. Should be red "HIGH" but was green "LOW" ( just thought everything is green it should work). NOT SO in this case. Wonder why? Anyway I'm up and running again. Onefinity saw it immediately, MASSO never responded, and there was nothing about it on the internet.

I cleaned mine out about last week or so to, the very first time I used it I just used tap water, I changed that to distilled a few days later. I also found a bit of gunk in my fish tank bowl. I think it's likely there might have been some mineral build up in mine, but hoping if I keep changing it out it will clear up in time. No clogs or anything yet tho. Then again, it seems more gunk came out that could possibly have went in just from 7 or so litres of water. Maybe it's a thing...??

Hi Lars! I hope you are doing well because I'm not. I bought the exact same machine you did. It fired up, homed, and jogged fine. After the electrician left, I tried to fire up the spindle. It was a NO-GO. I have power to the plug that plugs into the VFD. Flip the switch and nothing, the VFD won't even light up. Pulled my hair out for a while and called PWNCNC. They couldn't figure it out, so they sent me a new one. It came today and it's doing the same thing! I was told that it's difficult to put the plug in and I have to force it. In fact, he said (Force it, you won't break it). Well, I did and I did! I am lost. Did you have any issues with your VFD?
@LarsWorkShop2 ай бұрын
I had zero issues with my VFD and spindle. Do you have a multi meter? If so make sure the outlet has correct power. The prong with the little hook on it, should be on the top, is the ground. You should get 120v if you measure from it to the other holes. Of you connect the other hole you should see 240. From there make sure the plug is in and turned to the right, so it is locked iin and the plug on the VFD is all the way in. Right about the plung on the VFD, really small is the on switch. Click it to on or 1. If you did not see it light up, on the from the little knob controller. On the sides where the slots are squeeze and pull that out. Now put it back in until it clicks. If it lit up on the left side switch to manual and turn the knob all the way counter clockwise, make sure the spindle is off the wasteboard no bit and press the green button. Now turn the knob it should start the spindle. If it does press the red button and set back to automatic on the left side. If this works your pindle is good.

I just watched the video you posted. Since this is your second one from PwnCNC, I would reach out and see it if works for them, if not ask them to figure out why. If it does, it is surely the electrical and I think we can work through it, just need to see a pic of the box "cicuit breaker" and if you are sure the power is getting to the plug, I would unplug the VFD unit and see if the power there is correct, as in the ground to each of the power holes give you 120 and across the power holes you get 240v. let me know what you see.

@@LarsWorkShop That's the first thing that I did. With the twist-lock connector that my electrician installed and the power cord for the VFD locked to that, I unplugged the other end from the VFD. I have 120V from the ground to each leg, so I know it's getting power to the plug. I feel like a total idiot, it should not be so hard. I tried numerous times to FIRMLY attach the plug to the VFD with no success. I forced it so hard that the outlet broke free from the enclosure and pushed into the enclosure. I just got home from work and I'm exhausted. I will get back into it tomorrow morning and will figure this out! Since it's broken anyway, I'm gonna try to get into the enclosure and look around. There is no way that it should be this hard to connect a plug and fire up the unit! I've got to be doing something wrong, but I have no idea what it is.

Mine took 7 weeks to arrive while their leadtime is 3-5 weeks. They don't seem to understand that if most CNC ship at let say 7 weeks, then this is the start week of the leadtime. The extra 2 weeks on the leadtime is for any hiccups they may encounter. They also don't seem to understand that if they set much longer leadtime expections to customers then the CNC arrives earlier, the customer will be very happy. If it is late, the customer will be pissed. In addition, they create their shipment label 1 week before it ships. Again just to make the customer "happy" while they are extending the leadtime, again. I've emailed them about that saying they should not think that customers are dumb. When said shipping label were created, it was a Wednesday and when I realized it was not shipped by Friday, I've emailed them. The excuse was that they create those labels ahead of time (bullshit on that one) and that my CNC will ship on the Monday. Then Monday came and by 8pm, I knew the packages would have been picked up. Emailed them again with a little more rude email. They said that the Fedex truck did not have enough time to pickup my order. So, it finally shipped on the Tuesday. They really have to work out that leadtime. The fact that they hired new employees should not impact leadtime unless those employees were employed for more than a year (reliability). Some instructions are outdated (QCW for Elite Journeyman) to a point I thought I received the wrong parts.

@LarsWorkShop4 ай бұрын
Is your engrave on wood too light or too dark? The dot duration is much like the speed setting. The lower the dot duration the less time it will spend in one spot, the higher the dot duration the longer it will spend on one spot. So on a dark material it will make a lighter engrave and on lighter material it will make a darker engrave. I hope that helps. Happy Lasering!
