HMMM... I am only going by what I see .I take all advice from everyone here and have tried the bearing thing as well.And yes their is play in the solenoid .So I am assuming from you say this is bad? This was only from my personal experience with both machines as of now.I grab the assembly on the mh and have no movement what so ever .Grab the assembly on the laser and it is terrible.When I last posted this laser cutter was two weeks old.If this is the case that it is bad and have read that their are bad parts and missing screws and what else not on these machines .The manufacturer is terrible and they need to shut down .Who wants to deal with buying a new piece of equipment and it is a piece of junk.Granite it is a cheaper unit but that is no excuse for this kind of nonsense.Good customer service -yes but what do you tell someone when they ask you -hey how is that new cutter you got from US cutter ?I do not bad mouth anyone ever so what Am I and others suppose to do ? get stuck with a piece of recycled junk? For what it is I am happy with it,but Do not understand why a so called new piece of equipment is so beat.For the record here I am not bad mouthing anyone or pointing the finger at anyone .Defective parts -yes this occurs but it seems like it happens way to much with these units.

Its not the bearings that have the play in it .It is the solenoid its self that has the play in it.After playing with this for a couple of weeks and taking the cover off and looking at it.holding the assembly and lightly moving it back and forth it plainly shows that the solenoid that moves the blade holder is what has all the play .Poorly made .I just bought this 24 laser and also bought a mh -365 and the 365 kills the 24 by no comparison .Mh-365 is not built like the 24. trying to look at all angles here ,but so far I think this 24 is nothing but problems.

I have 8.1

What would people do without this Forum? :thumbsup:I would be freekin lost ???This site gives me and I am sure others so much input. I am not an idiot and I am intelligent but when getting a piece of new equipment such as a cutter and have no idea how to use the thing and things go wrong.I just come on here and look for it or someone gives you the answer if you ask.It is good to give a helping hand and I will someday too help someone that does not know what they are doing like this forum has helped me.People can chose to be haters and not help anyone out, but I have never seen this on here.

This is hitting the test on the cutter- I mean

Getting so wrapped up in the configuration of the software itself I figure let me just stick a piece of vinyl in and test cut a square manually on the cutter . Well guess what ? Starts the square and ends short with the pigtails ,snag I have been talking about .Is there a way to fix this? I am so so tired of dicking around with this. I know there is always set up for every thickness and vinyl .but this is just a real pain in the as*

both of these are missing ,Is this bad?

2 screws missing on the unit? The ones right by the belt on the left side.This normal? right above the kill switch

Looks like it is it off left and right indents in the r and out on edges?

I do not know squat on how to adjust the x and y configuration ,but does that not tell the size vert and hori .This does not affect the cut does it? The more I try and test possibilities it seems like the drop of the blade at the diffferent paths it starts at is where alot of the snags occur .Is there not a way to lighten the way it follows the paths? Or is that all in the pressure of the cut?In by playing with the offset today with about 10 different cuts I typed in All caps= ROB Looking at a mirror image of this it pulled the middle of the R inward and the edges outward .I am going to upload in a couple minute a pic of this. Could be offset ,could be this x-y ,or a combination .What a goings on to get this going.I am a picky shi* though.I was thinking if the droping down is the worst of my problems I can light up the pressure and cut it twice .Is there a feature to cut twice? ??? ???

it is firm and is on back. Could be this x-y calibration but I do not know how to adjust it.Keep in mind that I am new to this and do not know what the he** I am doing .Eager though and willing to listen and learn from anyone.

Denny ,sure does .Thats the only thing with Flexi .It is a lot more to figure than Blazer .At least that's what I think

Their a way to keep the cutter from slamming down when it follows the path? Well not slamming but you know what I mean.

OK

How do you fix the overcut in flexi? I have that program as well ,but it did the same kinda cut in flexi.Maybe the overcut will make it better.And as far as the price .Yes you are correct .You get what you pay for but their should be a way to mediate some problems that occur.
