The other day - after finally getting my dust collector integrated with my CNC (Iconic 8), I attempted to flatten my spoil board with the pendant's internal program. I fought with that thing for the better part of an hour before accepting defeat, and called for technical help. I spoke with Chad, and It turned out that I was out of step with one action; after pulling up that internal file, I was hitting the 'Run' button, when I should have been hitting the 'OK' button. I was ok with 'User Error' being the issue, as it meant that there was nothing wrong with the machine. After thanking Chad, and hanging up, I went to get a cup of coffee before revisiting that job.
I started the process again - following every given step, and STILL wound up with an issue. This time, I was faced with the Z-axis being Out Of Soft. I tried things a few more times (knowing that I had followed Chad's instructions, but wanted to make absolutely sure), yet found that the failure persisted. I didn't want to bother Chad, again, and thought (before making another call) that I should just restart the machine, and see if that would make a difference. when I powered my CNC back on, and went through the very SAME steps, the spindle went through the flattening process without any problems. I LOVE my Iconic 8, and am not feeling any kind of negative way about it. But there's a reason why that happened as it did, and I wish it could be determined as to WHAT that reason was. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this, with their machines?
