hello, I am having an issue where for example this current project. I have my material thickness set at.221 and I want it to cut all the way threw. I am using a 1/8 inch bit and when I was done it apears any ways to have only cut half way threw if that. After it was done I checked with a mic, and it cut exactly half way threw, .102 is my cut depth when done. Why would this not cut right. I am using a onefinity x-50. I probed my x,y, and z using the block. Any help would be great, I wont to be able to be as spot on as I can be.
Did you set the cut depth for the part in easel?
yes i did i selected how deep i moved the slide bar all the way down to cut threw and the tabs are present.
I would check that the bit is secure in the collet and if you haven’t calibrated the steps per mm, you might want to check that.
yeah i did all that twice actually, reloaded the gcode and ran twice. Right now I am looking into making sure my calibration block meassurents are correct.
I checked my probe dimenstions and they match what I have in my cnc software so that was a bust.
If you look at your gcode in a text editor see if the Z is going down to that depth. You load it into Notepad, click on Edit/ Find Z. If you see the depth of z-0.221 then you know it is the machine. Is it possible that you have reached the end of the Z travel?
Do you have limit switches?
Check $132 which is z axis max travel.
after looking at the gcode it looks like it is sending it to the correct spot. I guess it has to be in the machine. I have included the last two z code in this, I am assuming the .14100 is for a tab height too.

Yep, looks like it is something else.
yeah, it was turned out, my bit was unable to reach the depth it needed to travel. I am in the process of fixing that. you would have thought my machine would have given me an alarm but guess not.
