it seems to be splitting the beam and causing double engraving, strange i when it cuts its fine? please see image.IMG-20130101-WA0000.jpg

Is it the same when you set it to Uni Directional engraving rather than "Swing"?

I use filtered water rather than straight tap water, the filtered water seems to have much less scale build up. For flushing, I reverse the lines so the water flows backwards and do this for 10 to 15 min as I found it helps dislodge some most of the scale. To reduce the scale going back into the tube I use an in-line canister type filter (clear plastic in-line fuel filter). Look for a high flow type filter so it doesn't restrict the flow too much, also disconnect the filter when reverse flushing.Originally Posted by Mike Browning;2022628if the is scaling in the tubes from the water is there any way to flush/clean? [COLOR=#333333
Would be interested in hearing from others if there's a chemical or other method that's safe to use to help remove hard to remove scale, as I have some scale that I can'r get rid of from before I started using a filter.
Hope this helps

If you change to uni directional engraving and the problem goes away then you know where the problem lies.

On ammeter with 90% of power I get 13 mA. Is that OK because I saw that maksimum current for 80W RECI is 30 mA (working 28 mA).

Hi there
yes the tube manufacturer recoomends a 5 to 10% muriatic acid solution and run flashing like a cirkle for 3 to 5 min then use dest water and flash it away for 5 minu.
this cleaned my totally scumpt tube perfectly.

Thanks Walt,
I didn't know what muriatic acid was but did a quick google and found this:

hi jimmy
thats right if you use the concentrated version, but if you use the concentration I have given (5 to 10%) you would not even hurt your self this is by the way the concentration what is in tile cleaner and some bathroom cleaner.
to the eyglass cleaner what I use is the optical lens cleaning solution from sears this is specially formulated for reflectiv lenses. and cheap a bottle goes now for more then two years and is still half full

You may need to apply some backlash compensation if you are using bidirectional scanning.

It is also possible that your 'reverse interval' setting in your configuration file is work. My Artsign JSM-3060N was doing the same thing and it turned out that the reverse interval setting was basically filled with gibberish - the file got corrupted somehow so the instrument was putting in an inaccurate compensation for the backlash.
I would check that first... unilateral cutting = half speed = less profits.
Rodney had posted this link to help me align my Shenui, and although it's for a Rabbit it's just about the same for the Shenui it is way better than the instructions that came with the machine and it saved me lots of time and grief so I figured it should go here.
