These are great! Carbide 3D has awesome support! I’m a customer support manager, so, I really appreciate good support and they are the best.

Suggestions to reduce customer frustration and your support people from spending time on basic things when they could be helping other people with more serious issues.... 1) Include a bottle of Vactra with every machine. Little bottle with the 4 for the Z axis, bigger bottle with the Pro, big ass bottle with the 5Pro 4x4 since there is a lot (like 16 feet?) of linear rail to maintain. Even my $100 dollar air compressor from Harbor Freight came with a bottle of compressor oil... 2) Include maintenance info with the assembly guide! I don't know if you have done it with the 5 Pro but so many people have no idea they should be keeping the linear rails clean and oiled on the Pro because it never said to.

Flemming nice to put a face with the person that has helped me with issues I have had in the past question So I am starting a new file When it the cycle do you set your xyz with the probe and after it does the probe do you need to zero all Jeff Peters Also Can I surface the whole spoil board?

[farshadbagheri]

Hello. where can we find the maintenance guide? What type of oil do you recommend for the bearings?

[routedbyreynolds]

Dont do rapid x+y then z+6mm if you're using bottom z instead of top, you'll crash into your stock when double checking it 😅

Question I have a file to cut dados in a cabinet side. I want to use a .5 dia mortising to speed up the cut But th bit is too big for the Bit Zero hole so can I use the .25dia pin you send with the probe to set MY XYZ once set can I so a tool change and install the .5 dia mortising bit an measure it and thenrunthe file will that work.

Where is the Maintenance document located?

[zacharywatson]

Could you add a link to the maintenance guide in the description of this video?

[joelchavez]

When I pause my machine during a cut and I want to stop the project it doesn’t retract.

[madpedalboards]

Um, ok. I just want to know why the machine goes to the bitsetter first as the bitsetter's numbers are dependent upon the bitzero's numbers. This seems like an unnecessary redundancy. What am I missing here? Thanks. Love the idea of these videos.
