Sears, Roebuck and Co. CompuCarve™ System (Rev 1.18) 04/23/07

• Calibrating Machine Offsets: The "Calibrate Offsets" function is a

simple procedure to allow the user to fine-tune the CompuCarve

machine for improved accuracy. To perform the offset calibration the

following will be needed:

- A board at least 2" wide by 10" long between 1/2" and 3/4" thick.

- The CompuCarve branded 3/8" Jointing Bit (using a non-

CompuCarve branded bit will affect accuracy).

- The CompuCarve sensor calibration will vary slightly depending on

the color and darkness of the material. Best results will be realized

by calibrating the machine using that wood type most often used in

the machine. If a variety of woods are used in the machine,

choose a wood for calibration that is in the middle of the range of

color and darkness.

For best results, choose a straight, flat board that has crisp, clean

corners, and ensure that the Jointing bit is in good shape. Begin by

measuring the thickness of the board chosen. Try to measure to within

at least 1/32" of the actual thickness.

Load the board in to the machine and navigate to the Configurations

Menu from the CarveWright Main Menu by using the up/down arrows

or pressing the “0” (Options) key on the keypad. Navigate to or select

item 6, Calibrate Offsets. The machine will prompt for the thickness

that was just measured, key in the value and press ENTER. The

machine will begin measuring the board and then will prompt for the

3/8" Jointing bit. Load the bit as normal and press ENTER. The

machine will take a few more measurements and cut a slot into the

board.

Once the slot is complete, the CarveWright will begin alternating

between measurement and cuts along the two sides of the slot and the

two sides of the board. When the machine has completed the

calibration the new offsets will be stored into the machine and the LCD

will return to the Configurations Menu. The entire process takes just a

few minutes. If the calibration fails, please see the entry entitled

Troubleshooting the Board Sensor in the above paragraph.

• Checking the Head Pressure: Cranking the head down onto the

workpiece assures that there is sufficient pressure to move the

workpiece in and out of the machine on the traction belt drive. If there

is not enough head pressure, the sensors that monitor whether the

workpiece is inserted correctly will not operate properly. If this

happens then the message “Please Insert Board” may persist on the

LCD.
