So, I am relatively new to CAM and CNC world. I have been having a blast learning and making things. However, I have been having one hellava time developing detailed coasters that incorporate 5 different tool bits. It seems like every time I either load up the program. Initialise and set Zero, the first pass goes right through my project (walnut). I will delete the program resave the same file and run the programme and it will work.
The newest issue is with the same file but a part of the design is miss aligned with the rest of the paths. I went back to my file and checked the preview to ensure there wasn’t something I missed, and there wasn’t. Tool path that gave me the issue is a 30d VBit (Depth: .0013, Feed: 40, 24000 rpm) I’m not too sure if this would have given me issues.
Is it possible that the file gets corrupted after saving it a bunch of times? I zero my projects to the bottom right of the waste board and zero to the same surface. I use the same “zero” for multiple different projects across different days and turn off my machine in between. Would this be a good practice or be giving me these sorts of errors?
VCarve Pro, Shapeoko Pro is what I’m running. Thank you in advance.
