I’m having issues when trying to create inlays using advanced vcarve in carbide create v8. even though the simulation looks fine, when i cut the wood it doesn’t replicate it. if you look at the A and the B, there are high spots where it doesn’t get cut. Anyone have any ideas?
Can you share the CC (.c2d) file? And the .nc (g-code) file if using it.

Attached. I have to generate the gcode as 2 separate files, one pocket and one vee as my CNC doesn’t have a bit setter
The simulation clearly shows it cutting the centers of the B & A. They are near the end of the program, so maybe it just didn’t finish??

I agree that’s what’s so odd because the app showed it finish to completion in the logs without any skipped lines
Not sure why those 2 areas are not being cut out but… For the text you should group the letters and “Convert to Curves”. Maybe give a bit more spacing between the letters. More spacing will allow the cutter to get a bit deeper between the letters. There are uncut areas between the letters… again not sure if that will impact the inlay top gap or not. I typically use 110 spacing depending on how much room there is on the material.
