Hi RobCee, I've seen all those settings. I would think I'm some home missing a profile pass, but I'm not using the raster cut method. I'm using offset with 0 allowance. And the profile is set to outside. On takes way to much, and Inside is for sure wrong. The preview to me, I think looks right, whic...

Thanks everyone. I don't think is my cut settings, I checked them again. I'll do a wider pocket to compensate past the profile.

I feel like I'm missing something in the software to make sure it runs to the outside my selection.

Hi WillAdams, It was a solid block of wood to begin with. The the cut out was at the end. I did a planing pass first to get to my desired height and it went edge to edge. Then what I wanted to pocket from out edge to the peg, i could see it wasn't making it to the outside edge, and I'm assuming the ...

I don't know if anyone can help me here. I didn't see much when I tried searching the web. What I am trying to do is do a pocket between two circles. What happens is, the tool path isn't going all the way to the edge of this type of pocket. If I run a surface pocket, it goes all the way to the edge....

Thanks Will, and everyone else. You guys are all great help on here. It looks like I lost one of the little screws that was supposed to dig into the shaft. I filed it down anyways since I had it apart. So far running it back and forth, I didn't hear or see alignment issues. This forum is simply grea...

I have not filed a flat spot yet, great idea. That very well could be my issue that it's rotating freely around the shaft. I'll get that done this week and let you know.

This is relatively new, and doesn't always happen. My X-Axis isn't always staying square to the Y-Axis. With the double motors, I can occasionally hear skipping. Visually, the right motor seems to pivot about a 3/4 of an inch, while the left motor stays still. It can happen when traveling either pos...

Thanks guys. I set hard limits to 1. And it stopped trying to go over the limit switch. One annoyance down.

I've tried searching, not sure if I'm even looking for the right thing. I have limit switches on and homing works great. Every now and then I will move my X and Y by 10 units, and then hit Z. Needless to say, lots of extra holes in the waste board. But sometimes we go up, and it grinds. Is there way...
