Brand new to Shapeoko I have tried everything can’t get bit to go down to wood to cut
Can anyone out there help… Thanks
Can you post the C2D file, that will help us finger it out with you?

This is my first project
Are you setting the origin at the top of 0.75" stock at the lower left corner?
The #102 only has 0.5" of cutting flute length but you are trying to cut 0.75" deep:
I would suggest reviewing:
How are you setting zero?
Please let us know step-by-step:
- what you did
- what you expected
- what actually happened
Lets address the bit not engaging the surface of your part.
Your part is .750 and you are Zeroing off the top according to your C2D. How are you zeroing your “Z” height? Are you using the paper method or are you probing?
Also noted you have two paths to cut the text. First path starts at .08 below surface and eventually goes to the bottom. Second path starts at the top going down .100. The second path will be cutting air. If you wanted to do this by design, move the second path up and change the start of the other path to start at .100.
Personally I would delete path 2.
So, how are you setting “Z” zero?
