Cutter not cutting a straight line

The simulation shows the cutting is perfect but when it cuts it is random with not straight lines and cuts that go beyond the pattern :frowning:

How does this compare to the 3D preview in Carbide Create?

The oddities seem to be matching up with the wood grain — have you checked things mechanically?
