When looking at the preview tool paths in the selected tool paths, the finish cut looks like it is not cutting deep enough. There are areas where it is cutting
deeper (where it should) than the area where it is not cutting deep enough. Is there a way to have the z axes cut, say about .02 deeper? Thanks gene

you can fool the machine. After zeroing move the z to -.02 and then re zero.

Re: The finish cut not deep enough
It might not be cutting as deep as you want as the tool can't fit into those areas. Try previewing with a smaller tool and see if it makes a difference.
