Belt Tensioning
The belts used in the X-Carve Pro are synchronous belts whose tension is set at the factory;
they don't require very high tension to operate properly. New rubber belts tend to stretch and
loosen during operation in the first few weeks/months, after which they will tend to operate
normally at lower tensions. Caution: high belt tensions can induce high forces on the motor shaft
and ball screw shaft which can severely damage the machine, please reach out to Inventables
Customer Service on instructions to set the appropriate belt tension.
