Machining problem
I can't get the 2nd toolpath to cut where it should. The perimeter toolpath cuts perfectly. The crosshatch toolpath wants to cut away from the material. The preview shows what I programmed but the toolpath runs the router off to the left about 6". The machine settings are exactly the same for both t...

Importing an STL
I am missing something when I try to import an STL. The 1st shot shows the STL ready to be processed, the 2nd shows it as it appears in Aspire. I've tried moving the STL above the plane but I get similar results. I've watched several Youtube videos but I have not learned how to properly import STL f...

Drilling and sanding on rotary axis
