Hi - I’ve recently started using Meshcam and am having an issue where it seems to randomly decide to cut through some supports, but not others.
All supports and toolpaths were generated at the same time - any ideas? 
I guess the first question is whether this behavior is there in the generated toolpaths themselves, or if it’s a mechanical thing during the cut.
This online G-code viewer is pretty neat, I use it when I need to match where the tool is in the preview at some point of the cut, and the corresponding G-code line.

Thanks Julien but it’s not a mechanical issue, the machine is functioning perfectly when using carbide create toolpaths right before and after this. I suspect it’s how I’m generating the supports or toolpaths in meshcam.
As an example, this cut had 6 individual pieces, all toolpaths and supports generated at the same time - 2 had all supports cut and 4 had supports left intact.
Has anyone else seen this with meshcam before or have any tricks or tips on supports in meshcam?
My big thing with MeshCAM (and pretty much all the CAM tools I use) is to preview the G-Code w/ some 3rd party previewer to make sure that what was exported matches what was previewed.
