[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

I wrote a bit about doing this sort of thing at:

Preparing rough cut lumber for machining

Given a rough piece of stock: [20240204_151557] one sets it on the machine, and if need be, adds shims where/as needed to make it as level as possible. and clamp in such a way that the entire top may be surfaced off [20240204_155540] set zero, then begin cutting: [20240204_171001] After running the file once: pocket_464x116_1mm_LOWERLEFT_TOP.c2d (44 KB) if a repeat is necessary, jog down to zero, then down by the cut depth of the file (1mm) set zero there and repeat — the zero may be …

If you continue to have difficulties let us know step-by-step:

• what you did — include screen grabs and notes on the values showing in Carbide Motion for position
• what you expected
• what actually happened

and we should be able to work through this with you.
