Brian, Looking back statement #1 above is where I was having the most trouble. I was also gouging into the material. Not sure what I was doing wrong to cause that. All of that was rookie mistakes and I am moving right along with no issues. It let the air out of my sails when I got it and it was "broken" but, now that I know how to use it I am very happy.

All rookie mistakes. Unit is working great!by John Beatty - Handibot Forum
Looks like I may have to do that. My download instructions did not come via email. It was printed and shipped and no link to art. Thanks, Johnby John Beatty - Handibot Forum
I was able to zero to material and run it a couple of times and it was good. I think the rookie was hitting the wrong button and it was loosing zero. It did not cut in the air or gouge into the material. I will play some more tomorrow and see if repeatability is there. Thanks for the feedback! Johnby John Beatty - Handibot Forum
I am familiar with the software I think I have watched every video available. I have read where the clip art is on the CD the software was on but, it no longer comes on CD. I have read elsewhere that you need to log into Vcarve site to download. I do not have the required credentials to log in. I have downloaded some sample and they all show in the tabs you mentioned. Thanks, Johnby John Beatty - Handibot Forum
I read in the research of the Handibot that Vcarve comes with clip art. If this is the case how do I access it? Johnby John Beatty - Handibot Forum
Thanks for the quick response. I will give that a try tomorrow. Dose that explain why sometimes it cuts in the air and others it is too deep. It seems as though the Z is drifting. I guess to confirm the drift I can zero as you mentioned above move it around manually and homing then send Z back to zero and see where it lands. If it is consistent after several tries it is not drift. Thanks, Johby John Beatty - Handibot Forum
I finally received my Handibot yesterday and am ready to start using it. I followed the directions got it all hooked up to network and made my first test cut per the Quick Launch instructions. I noticed on the depth of the cut was shallower than that of the original cut in the base board that was attached. I did the zero set routine off of the touch pad and the following test cut was in the air.by John Beatty - Handibot Forum
I am unable to view the pictures. Is it on my end or the files themselves?by John Beatty - Handibot Forum
