What did I miss ???

Post by MountainAngler »

I 've machined several different pieces with success....I am wanting to use a v-bit to machine inside the vectors of some letters comprising a word, my understanding is the bit will plunge untill both sides of the bit touch the inside of the letter vector.When I create a toolpath...and calculate, then preview...it accomplishes my desired outcome.However when I load the toolpath and run the program only goes up and down and completes...I know it's my programming...any thoughts

thanks : :?

Hello,
A picture of what it is cutting compared to the preview might help us see what is happening. I am not sure from the written description what is actually happening so posting a picture or the file might help.
Best regards,
