Having the same issue repeat itself again and again,even after remaking the designs and tool paths. Im using John Clarks video as the example for this project. Box Making with Shapeoko - YouTube
All I am trying to do is make a simple box. The cut out won’t actually cut out the box but instead cuts through the middle of the stock between the left and right edges. Tried this multiple times, remade the files from scratch and just cannot figure out why this is happening. It could be a beta “thing”, it could be a “Jeremy” thing. I attached the file and someone could check it, that would be great.
Best,

I’m not sure I see the problem, other than the area pointed to by the arrow below where the top and bottom are too close for the cutter to fit through:
Well, that was an oops on my part. I didn’t notice the “red arrow” marked part. My error. What was happening is probably best shown in the crude picture attached.
I had a similar issue but on a single SVG. One of the corners in the SVG was too tight for a .25 EM.
So I did the toolpath with a .125 EM but left the .25 EM in the machine. It worked fine.
I learned my lesson to make digital tools, I think it was one of Kevin’s videos I watched and got that idea from. We all live and learn. CNC is not complicated, but it does have lots of small steps that I keep missing!
