General Mach Discussion / problems with larger bit and machine stuttering

« on: October 10, 2010, 09:59:19 AM »

Hi, I am using this machine to create sculptures of mine.  Though every time I use a larger bit (lately only) the machine keeps stuttering.  What I mean by this is that it will be running, then all of a sudden make a *jammed sound* then continue and it will mess up the piece i am working on.  So my solution has ben to stop it, re-zero home, then input my "zero's" and start again.  The problem is that it is doing it more often now.  I don't think that the bit would cause this to happen since we have run this 1/2 inch bit on it many of times already.  I have cleaned out both the computer and the box for the machine by using compressed air, and get all the dust out.  Any other suggestions?  I need to get this thing working properly, because I need it for my thesis work!!
