ya i did so i think its bc the tool is too long and i need a shorter one
@ata211
The Retract hieght combined with the tool length are both factors.
You can try moving the Router up in the clamp as well.
so im using a chineex spindle and its al redy high up and is it possible to change the Retract hieght or is it possible to limit how high it goes
@ata211
Im not familiar with artcam retract height control, but if you post some screenshots of the job setup we can help.
