Updated Apr 11,2024
Updated Apr 11,2024

Note
1. The video below demonstrates the measurement and adjustment of the timing belt on one side of the Y-axis as an example, and the same procedure can be carried out for the belt on the other side of the Y-axis.
2. Try to adjust the tension of the timing belts on both plates to be the same to ensure better engraving and cutting results.
3. If the tension gauge used in the video is not included in your purchase, please contact customer support at support@xtool.com for assistance with purchasing.
