Oh boy, something went wrong, but what?
In the middle of my first slotting operation on the Nomad 3, the motor suddenly stops turning about 3/8” down in the slot. I “pause” then try to return, but it happens again.

If at all possible, don’t cut slots.

If you haven’t sent an e-mail in to support@carbide3d.com please do so.

Thanks for a reply, I have sent support an email about this issue…

How do I cut out a piece of aluminum without using a contour/slot cut in Carbide Create?

Add offset geometry (endmill diameter plus 10%) and cut as a pocket using that and the original geometry down to tab depth or the penultimate pass.

Thank you for that instruction; I will try that out tomorrow to see if it works…have a great evening (appreciate you taking the time tonight to answer questions)

So, I think I’m on the same page with “Add offset Geometry”

Bit .125"
Outside Offset .145"
Difference .02" > 10%

Box within a box, then select both and run a “Pocket” operation. Correct?

Yes, that’s pretty much it.

It comes up pretty regularly, see:
