I haven't really paid attention to the thickens of the stave when making these. I look at how wide they are. But when checking they ranged from 1/2" to 1" thick.

Hopeful customer service is helping you with your problem. When I went through customer service I didn't hear anything until I contacted them through the Xtool Face Book page. They responded and got my problem fixed ASAP. Good luck.

Glad I could help

Glad I could help. I'm not sure if mine was the motherboard, power supply or laser. My laser would run, just like it was doing a project, but the laser bean itself would turn on and off while the machine was moving. When it started it was only here and there, but as time went on, it was every few seconds. Contact support and they sent me all 3 to replace. Haven't had an issue since.

Glad I could help.

I haven't had any problems with mine. I have drilled a little aggressively on some hard woods before and it has stopped spinning, but I just turn it off, raise up some and turn it back on and go a little slower, that always solves the problem. But no spindle chatter. I wonder if your spindle isn't seated all the way in, maybe give it another tap or two and see if that fixes it. Or you got a lemon and am exchange will work nicely for you. Sorry to hear you are having problems.

Sorry, I thought I put that in the description box. Here is a link to the ones I used www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079JN1DSK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=rusticameri01-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=31c626d0961121fea457d4258ec6fc04&camp=1789&creative=9325

Thanks much! Appreciate the quick reply. @@thatshowwedoit6201

If it is what I think you are referring to, it helps hold the rack for the crank in place (the thing that cranks the table up and down).

The orange collar holds the track for the crank that moves the table up and down.

I left it on, I don't power it.

It is listed in the description box. Thanks.

The T stands for "transformable", which is their way of saying improvements to the original 4214 features. You can read more about it if you would like: iceagetools.com/wen-4214-vs-4214t/

Thanks, glad I could help.

Thanks.

Excellent, glad I could help.

True, but you can't get that nice whisky smell from the wine barrels.

I contacted Xtool support and they sent me one. I messaged Cecilia Fang on Facebook. I found her on the Xtool FB page. She works with Xtool Customer Service. I emailed them too, but never heard anything back. Cecilia responded pretty fast and sent me what I needed.

@@thatshowwedoit6201 thank you

I have used an angle grinder before, you have to be very careful not to over do it or it will really mark up the staves. I haven't had that problem with the drill brush and it takes about the same time. I think a stripper would be best, but I can't justify the cost to just use it on these. Maybe if I was refinishing furniture.

that is true

Glad I could help. I will have to check out the wrenches, thanks for the tip!

No problem. Glad I could help.

It finally came and was everything you described! Good one

You're welcome!

Thanks. Yes, it helped me free up some storage space. It is there when I need to use it but out of the way when I don't and I can still use the space as a table top. i usually just put a piece of cardboard over it and work on top of that.

That's ok. I don't mind teaching others what I have learned. If I'm the only one who knows, then it dies with me. This way, hopefully what I know can help others and will live on long after I am gone.

Not 'everyone' will make it. Not everyone has the tools or inclination. Some people like to see it made & then buy it. 😊

Glad I could help!

100%

Thanks, glad I could help.

I haven't had any problems. But you can always order extended wires from people. I know alivepixelcreates.com/ has some for sale. If you use promo code HowWeDoIt you will get 15% off your purchase. I believe he sells them as a kit, drag chain and wires, but if you contact him he will sell you just the wires.

Nice! I see now Xtool has started to drop their prices on their Honeycombs since they are coming out on Amazon for so much cheaper.

You can watch my video here about the new drag chain set up. The place I got it and a discount code is in the description of the video. Thanks. th-cam.com/video/BRDt0RAgluQ/w-d-xo.html

Thats not good. I had a 20W that just stopped working, it moved just fine, the laser just stopped firing at random times during my projects. It took me a few projects to figure out what was going on. I was thinking my file or settings were messed up since my project had stuff done on it, but things were missing in certain areas.

@@thatshowwedoit6201 That stinks man. Waiting for the other 40W to arrive from amazon today. Hopefully I get a good one. I have read many posts about peoples boards dying or DOA right from the box. Not feeling very confident with this POS Laser.

@@ilovemushing Yea, at least it was all covered by warranty.

I'm not sure, however, I do know Alive Pixels does have a 40W option in their drop down menu, so they must have something figured out. If you go to their website, you can send a message, Daniel has been pretty responsive when I have messaged him. I you do buy from him, I did get a discount code that gets you 15% off "HowWeDoIt", feel free to use it and save some $$. Good Luck.

Definitely not a must have. Everything will operate fine without a drag chain, however, sometimes your wires may get caught here and there and if it happens during a project, it will obivisiouly ruin your project because a caught wire will prevent the laser moving freely and properly. This is an easy upgrade you can add when you are ready. I also just worked out a deal with AlivePixel to get my views a 15% discount when they use the code HowWeDoIt. So if you are looking and choose products from Alive Pixel, save some money.

@@thatshowwedoit6201 Thank you I’ll use the code when I’m ready. Currently have the extension piece and looking to put it together soon.
