bailiegh 5x10

i have the 5x`10 table
I am brand new to this as you all well know from the questions and such
was wanting to know if there is anyone on this site with a table like this
I am having some troubles with the axis just randomly stop working in mid cut
z-x-y pretty much all axis
the other day I cut a part and the machine chattered from side to side( one motor moved faster or slower than the other)
or something like that
basically the machine was out of square 3/8 of an inch on a 6 inch part
I measured the gantry to the stop points on the machine the machine was over 1 inch off just from that part I manually adjusted the machine as best to my knowledge and got it to be square to those two points

I have a cutmaster 120 amp and I have noticed my holes are getting worse and worse just oval shaped or not a circle if you know what I mean
I have played with all settings and cut over 100 holes ranging from 1/4 - 2 inches and you can still see some defects
I am not sure if I am just being to picky but I have seen some of the work by the guys on this forum and I can say mine don't look nothing like this

I am not sure what to do now
I am have spoke with and sent emails to the company I would really like some more help with this I am burning threw plate faster than the trucks can bring it to

Any help with be awesome

I can be reached either on here or if you would like via phone

my name is Bryan Cabrera
thank you

please go easy me

I dont know about your table stopping mid-cut.
For the oval holes, what thickness of plate are you trying?
Are your squares, square? If they are rectangular, you may have an axis with the wrong setup.
Are your plasma consumables new?
Pictures?

There are a few questions you should answer to help.
Did you buy the table new or used
what software are you using to operate the table
what are the operational details (thickness of metal, speed of cuts, amps of cuts, are you getting any errors).
with what you are saying there could be a few different type of problems. Faulty connections, electronics not calibrated correctly, software not set up correctly, some type of electrical interference.
Stop wasting metal attach a pen to the torch and draw on paper to help troubleshoot your problems. Things need to be fixed they will not get better on their own. you have taken the first step in asking for help, there are many here that are happy to help many have been there too. Where are you located someone could be local for help.

Most "geometry" problems like this often boil dow to loose mechanics. Gears, couplers, pinions pulleys, etc. Trun on your table and let the motors lock and try moving the gantry ends back and forth It should stay locked. Do the same with the cross axis. If it all seems tight then you have to start looking at the control and motors. The fact it slowly getting worse points to a mechanical probelm too. Electronics typically don't Slowly go bad (like in the old days when vacuum tubes slowly wore out!) . That table being an import will have import controls and there won't be too much anyone but the vendor can help you with outside the obvious of check wires and swapping motors around. My bet is on mechanics but if its not then is time to call Bailliegh Tech Support.

the axis just stops working and throwing codes
the table was about 1.375 inches out of square when I checked it and I squared it back up and and it still don't cut properly
I change the comsumables every sheet if they need it
16- 10 gauge materials

the table is brand new less than 4 months old
the software ucancam that comes with the machine
metal thickness is 16-10 gauge on 16g its cutting 2500 radius speed and 3500 line speed
40 amps
I am located in baton rouge, la
I am currently working with the machine now and it has stopped x axis operation 5 times so far
if I turn the machine off it will start working again

like I said I am very new to this and the company I have bought it from has not been very helpful on resolving the problem that's why I am seeking help on this site

you all have great info
thank you for them help

[bryancab]

on a side not I can leave and go get lunch and the machine will not move and I will come back from eating and the console will have a code and the x axis will not work

[jimcolt]

I worked with one of these tables a couple of years ago. I could not make the height control work consistently....and the biggest issue was with the software's poor translation from Chinese, no manual, and it was software designed for a router, not a plasma cutter. The customer I worked with returned the unit and bought a US built CNC.

Best bet is to get with Baileighs tech support and hope they can help....

I have had a lot of problems with a Baileigh band saw. Their customer service is as bad as their products. I will never purchase from them again. I am waiting for a refund from them. The saw was shipped back 7 weeks ago. Stay on them. Call them hourly. Whatever it takes to make you satisfied.

[tnbndr]

There used to be a guy from Baleigh that monitored this site regularly! Wonder what happened to him.?


This is from the CNC table forum;

Baileigh Industrial
shenderson@baileighindustrial.com

[jimcolt]

I think his name was Shane Henderson......he tried to be helpful but he honestly was no expert on either the software, the height control or the mechanics of the machine I worked on. Hopefully they (Baileigh) do a better job now (2 years later!).

[greggomc]

Shane has not posted in a little while. He helped me by giving me the number to customer service.

It does worry me that IF they end up being a BAD EGG as far as an Oem distributer that they are STILL allowed to advertise here.

A bad egg does not need to be rewarded with more sales. SO IF they do turn out to be a bad egg someone needs to make a decision (;-)

Just a thought(;-) TP

[exapprentice]

I second vmax549 comments

If that is the case then it should be made very clear to any future potential customers
I am sure given the opportunity they will contribute and sort things out on the forum for all to see

[acourtjester]

I have seen bad stuff about them on WeldingWeb about other tools they sell

[exapprentice]

OK so this post seems to have stalled

does that mean that "bryancab" has resolved his problems and Bailiegh have sorted things out for him

would be nice to know ether-way just for reference

[bryancab]

hey guys I have gotten some help from them after 17 emails
they are sending me some parts that I have to install ( nothing like working on your brand new machine that's under warranty )
still having the same problems
honestly not real sure what to do at this point. I am giving this last fix and then I am off to greener pastures

I would like to take a moment and thank all the people on this site for huge amounts of info and help. everyone is nice and helpful. (CANT SAY THE SAME FOR MANY OTHER SITES) most just wanna pick fights

plasma spider is a jam up site full of info and helpful guys

when I get either my machine working or buy a different one I will be posting any and all info and files I can to help pay it back


once again thank you guys for the help

sorry forgot to explain how it was to be fixed

basically said they had a lost connection

(lose wire, bad plug )
machine would just randomly stop working on the x axis
I am trying to get the machine to cut a better circle at the moment
I have noticed that the torch will rise up after about 25% of the circle has been cut and noticed that the ovalness is coming from that
it gets better if you leave auto height controls off but that defeats the purpose of it

I put a bigger lead in with a 90 degree turn just like I was instructed to do
it got better

[exapprentice]

Hi bryancab

How did you get on with the replacement parts that Bailiegh sent you

Is you machine up and running as you expected or are you still not 100% happy yet, or are you 100% happy now
its been about a month since your last post, would be nice to know ether-way just for reference

How would you rate your experience with this company and their machine so other members know what the score is

[GDS Metal Worx]

Shane Henderson still gets on here, but I am not sure if he is under the Bailiegh name or something else. I know that he has an instagram page that he is running called metal art of wisconson. Has lots of nice pics of stuff he has cut from files on here. He also has a website under the same name. Might get lucky and contact him through those outlets
