I’m making the clamps in the tutorial. I get everything done and set zero. It starts and runs but air cuts about a material thickness above the part. Before I run the job, it says download .nc file. When I go to my documents, where the nc file is stored and open it, it doesn’t load to carbide motion.
Can you go back and check whether the pull-down menu in the “Stock thickness” section says “Top”, not “Bottom” ?
Having it to “Bottom” while zeroing on top would explain the air cut offset by a material thickness.

Hello Julien.
Just got back at my CNC. Change to top of material. Still air cuts!
Allright, can you
- post your G-code file (.nc)?
- explain in as much detail as you can, the steps you follow that result in an air cut ?
