starting to think I made a mistake by buying this machine 3 of of 3 times right at the end the Z plunges into the wood completely ruining the piece im working on. can anyone explain Why? very disappointed.
Does this plunge show up in the G-Code?
Please post the .c2d file
Usually this sort of difficulty is something mechanical.
Are you cutting slots just as narrow as the endmill?
I hope this is what your looking for I doesn’t show up in the G-code

Thank you Will
G-code is clean, so that must be mechanical like Will said. Is your collet clean from any debris, and tight enough that the endmill cannot slip during the cut ?

Your file is all contour toolpaths, cutting slots as narrow as the endmill:
so tooling engagement is constantly high, which increases the likelihood of the endmill or the machine being pulled into the cut.
I would suggest cutting this as a V carving, so instead of:
you would get:
or
yes everything is tight
Thank you Julien much appreciated
thank you Will gonna try a fresh cut now
