Nils,

Those are the motors that I'm using. I don't recall resetting the debounce nor why I would have done that. If I remember correctly, I set the kernal at that setting because my testing...

Yes. It was cut on the diagonal. I haven't tested at those speeds but I will do so. Give me a day or two.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe one of my wheels on the car is not fully seated in a...

As requested. This is 3/4" mdf cut with a 1/4" carbide bit at around 60 ipm in a single pass. The other side didn't have a pattern but there was a small amount of chatter. I used chalk to help...

I'm not buying the resonance argument when the runout is so small and the pattern looks like Nils' does. Sorry.

I don't want to sound argumentative but how could run out in the spindle be responsible for creating a pattern? I don't mean chatter, I mean a uniform pattern like Nils has.

Great input Jed.

Yes, Nils. It seems to me that the fact that you still have chatter would indicate that the computer is fine.

I still think it is a resolution problem. The chatter you...

I don't know if I'll be much help Nils. This might be a case of the blind leading the blind. I'm no whiz on the electrical stuff but I'm happy to try to assist.

Sorry I didn't answer you before...

Good idea Ros.

Nils, if you move the car into the middle of the table with the Z axis all the way up, you shouldn't damage anything during Gerald's recommended test. Just don't cut anything at...

Oh yeah. You can check the backlash in your gear box with a dial test indicator. Google it and I'll bet you find pictures of the set up. Harbor Freight has cheap dial indicators.

Jeff,

You beat me to it. I was also going to suggest the angled cuts. However, I would like to add an explanation as to why Nils should try this technique. There are a lot of us that think this...

Gerald has been able to successfully diagnose every problem everyone has had so far. The last thing he recommended was to try another PC so that's what I would do.

On second thought, I don't see how marks like those could be the result of runout in the router spindle. Spindle runout would leave a rough random cut on the edge. The edges of your board appear...

Nils,
