I created a cutout for this piece, and when it finished cutting through, it kept going into my wasteboard; fortunately I was able to stop it quickly.
Looking back at the simulation, it shows it going all the way past the bottom of the board and down another inch or so!

I tried it set both to “t” depth, and the exact depth of the material, but both times the simulation does the same thing. I’m on build 855, on a Mac.
I simulated it with setting DOC to the thickness of your material and it simulated correctly. I am not sure why “t” is cutting deeper than the depth of your material.
That’s strange; this is how my simulation looks.
Not sure if that Dropbox link is working. But it’s definitely cutting way too deep in my simulation on v855
I can’t open your file right now, but if you enter T for the breakthrough, it’s going to get through the material by a lot. If you want to end the cut at the bottom of the material, the breakthrough should be 0.
If you enter t as you have:
Then the file will cut that additional distance:
If you set the value to 0:
then the cut will end at the bottom of the Stock as indicated by the diagram in the toolpath:

Oh! I guess I should have figure that out from the illustration. Would you consider putting a warning in there if someone chooses something > 0?
Thanks for the help!
I’ve recently been using the cutout toolpath and the break through I use .001. Works perfectly
