toolpaths

Post by Dallasperry »

I got the laser attachment and got it working. But now when I try to do my 3d rough toolpaths the gantry doesn't lift the tool up before it starts moving left or right and it cuts parts of the wood that I still need. I am sure I changed something to make it do this but I cant figure out out to change it back

I am not sure I follow you. Are you talking about using a laser or a router? Maybe you are using a laser post processor (if there is such a thing) when you should be using a regular post processor for routing?......joe
