Depth of cut problem

@BOX5, I think Will is on to something, it could be the Z axis losing steps, and it could be the initial pocketing op losing those steps: that would explain why this specific job has depth issues, while your other regular vcarving jobs on stock surface do not. I checked the cutting parameters for that pocket and they look ok, but there is an easy test to figure out if this is it: right after you cut the pocket, and before changing to the vcarve tools, jog manually to a location where stock surface is still there (border of the pocket) and see if Z=0 still matches the stock surface. If it doesn’t, that’s evidence for lost steps. If that is it, then recheck set screw and belt tension.
