For any reason my z-axis is not going all the way down to the material i am cutting. Once i hit the start button to start the job it does the cutting process in the air, it doesnt go all the way down to the material i am tryin to cut. Also when the x axis goes all the way to the right it starts vibrating when it reaches the end.
Hey Kevin,
It sounds like you’re machine may not be zeroed for the project. Have you checked if the zero you’ve set for the project matches the machine’s zero?
I’ve found that if I’m ‘cutting in the air’, I’ve got the zero set to incorrect side of the material (zero to top vs. zero to bottom) in Carbide Create. Have a look. May be an easy find.

When you run setup the parameters are set for the maximum travel any axis has. The Z can be run all the way up to the top and then jog down to see if it is physically moving the maximum amount. If it is moving the maximum amount then you loosen the clamp on the router/spindle and physically move the router/spindle down. Usually for routers you have it all the way down to the router is as far down as it will go. The spindles are different in that they have smooth sides from top to bottom. You want to install your shortest bit in your spindle and then adjust your spindle down so it would go slightly below the surfae of the spoilboard.
The above advise is assuming you do not have any mechanical issues. If you have mechanical issues fix those before doing anything else.
Did you zero relative to the stock?

Does where/how you set the origin in the file match how you are setting zero?

What you describe usually happens when origin is set for bottom of stock, but zero is set at the top.
If you still have trouble, please send in the .c2d file and let us know step-by-step how you are securing your stock and setting zero relative to it and managing all tool changes, and send a photo showing the stock in place and the machine at the zero position relative to it (or a specified offset from that position) and screengrabs showing what Carbide Motion shows for Position and Machine Position (click on either to toggle to the other).
My friend i adjusted what you told me but it still doing the same thing 
1- What is your Post Processor in CC?
2- Print Screen of your job setup please
3- Are you using Carbide Motion?
