As With Any Computer Controlled Machines Most Problems Are Pilot Error. If You Don't Have Any Experience With CNC Machines You Probably Will Have Problems. This Is NOT A Machine For A Novice. Make Sure You Add 4 Inches To Each End Of Your Workpiece And keep It UNDER The Rollers. It Is Imparative That Your Board Is Flat, Parrellel And Straight. If You Have One Use A Drum Sander And A Joiner. 40 Years As A Die Maker Gives Me Experience With CNC. Trust Me This Is A Great Machine.
