Yesterday and this morning when I started a new carve everything went smoothly after putting on the dust shoe and starting the bit I then hit carve on my Fox Alien 4040ex the router moved to position and just stopped moving. It was still running but not moving.The green carve button turned blue and the machinedidnt move.I checked all alarms and nothing was tripped. I am a loss and any help would be appreciated. I have been using Easel for 6 years and never had this problem..
It almost sounds like a setting for the z axis is wrong for your material. I’d look at that first and maybe check out a homing switch on the Z axis too if you have one.

Also you may want to look at the gcode to see if there is a syntax error there. Lastly could it be electrical interference? [Solved - Elec. Interference] - Job keeps failing in easel - Easel - Easel Community Forum
