Graphtec FC8600 / Q Series Cutting Tool Carriage / Bearings / Alignment / Maintenance 

Hey thank you so much for your time doing this videos to help people to avoid been scam by "certified technicians"

Hi, I need to replace the sensor registration mark, but I can't find a video tutorial on how to disassemble, install, and replace it. Can you help me by providing a video tutorial? Thanks.

Excellent tutorial on the Graphtec! Looking at purchasing a new Graphtec. Have always been a Roland and Summa guy, but I like the Graphtec's separate channel for perf cuts and it's simple plugin software for CorelDraw. Keep the vids coming!

Wow nice job repairing. Would have suggestions on remembering what goes where when reinstalling unit? Memory at my age is not doing me good....Thank you

Great video but please buy a jp2 bit for those screws.

Hey there! Great video. I purchased a used 8600 and it appears as though I need to replace these wheels as I'm getting a clicking sound as the head moves along the carriage. Have you ever had issues with having the left wheel in standby? As the head unit travels to the left it bumps into the metal pin and stops and throws an E01019 error. Its almost as if it isnt putting enough pressure on the pin to push in the spring loaded sensor on the left side of the head. If I manually push it all the way to the left and engage it, it works without issue. Thanks for your videos

Hey boss i hope you see this this is the only video I’ve seen on this, on that cutting head board you disconnected every single cable except for the one I needed, the one that’s held down by the 4 black rivots. I need to replace that cable it was crease during install, and had a few questions. 1 how do the black rivots come off or are they caps to screws? 2 is the big ribbon cable removal the same as the others? Is there anything else I might be missing in this or that will cause me problem replacing that cable?

Gotta add to this. I have the graphtec FC7000 MK2-130 similar issue but when I see you move the head with belt on it seems to run pretty smooth along the track. I'm thinking I have a motor issue? Does your cutter head move pretty freely or does it have a type of clicking? Or resistance? The Y motor shaft seems to have a tick inside but the X motor moves freely

hi, I use Ce-6000-60 plus. wavy cut problem. Is there a potential problem with this carriage? I have changed the new cutting strip & blade but the wavy problem is still there

What kind of camera are you using (on your head/hat)? I am in the market for one. Thanks!

What equipment did you start off with and if you had to do it all over, what wood you change and what would you keep the same. Bonus question. Graphtec, i heard only certain software are compatible with it, and the blades, do they always need adjusting.

This isn't really a video about alignment. From what I can tell there is no way to align this particular machine's height from left to right side other than reshaping the plastic spacer under the teflon with sandpaper. They come from the factory out of alignment and only get worse. Adjusting the carriage won't make a difference as it will still be off the same distance on each side as the frame is the the 'aligned' carriage.

Do you have the part number or where you purchased the bearings from?

my cross cutter doesn't work any more any suggestions ?? the ultra hard blade

How you doing? Just started watching your vids. So far GREAT! I have a few ?'s Can you provide email? TIA Tommy
