If you look closely at the cut, it should be a straight line from the curved end into the rest of the part. It is tapering into the piece and the cut is getting noticeably deeper. The cut should only be .020 on the low points of the rough cut. I agree it is likely the control software or the hardwar...

Additional info is that the roughing cut with a .25" bit cutting .25" deep does not change the z. The finish cut with a .125" ball nose is the one that gives the problems. Down force is minimal with a .02 depth of cut from the roughing passes. The folks at C&CNC are also looking at my issue to see i...

Also I have a servo driven table so the issues with the C&CNC motors doesn't apply here. The servos I have were from and earlier vendor. I adapted a Practical CNC table with C&CNC electronics and have been pretty happy with their equpment.

The preview for both roughing and finish cuts looks all good. No unwanted travel from the z axis. I have pl;aced the .crv3d file in dropbox so you can see what I did for a test file.

I did a test cut this morning with a simple 2.5 D piece with several extra z moves. The z axis again added down movement in a linear fashion as the cut progressed. See pictures attached. When the finish cut started, it was where it should be. As the file progressed, the cut got deeper and deeper as ...

Thanks, Martin for your reply. I have checked all the parts on the z axis several times. The servo connects to a ball screw with a split coupling clamped to both parts and that is tight. The only other thing on the z axis mechanically is the encoder wheel for the servo and that is tight as well. Goo...

That is something I thought about after I had cleared the system and shut down. I didn't measure or check that. My dgital readout and the actual measurement would have told me something, but I didn't think of it soon enough. I may set up a test cut and see if I can get some more definitive data. Tha...

I have been having a problem I need help with. I have a servo driven table with a Command CNC (linux based) control software. On a recent 2.5 D carving the piece was nearly done, about 75% when the z axis began going down with each pass until it cut through the piece, about .75 inches. The roughing ...

Very nice. I made this set a while back and sold it very quickly at a Farmer's Market. I also made a custom set with animals that was a take off from this set. The customer wanted animals that they had worked with in their careers. A lot of time and work, but customers were very pleased. Thank goodn...

The car is very cool, but the whole point of the derbys is for the kids to do the build. I helped my son with several of these and gave advice and watched closely while he used tools. He did the work and was justifiably proud of his accomplishments. He earned eagle with a palm and learned along the ...

Beautiful work. Great use of different woods. Thanks for sharing.

x2 on the Huanyang inverter and 4 bearing spindle water cooled. Best upgrade I have done in a while.

The advice to use the tutorials is excellent. I learned most of my skills with Vectric from tutorial videos. Welcome to the adventure and any question you have, several others probably have as well and just haven't asked. Happy designing and carving from Idaho, USA.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Could be useful in the future.

The whole design is great. I especially like the steampunk type frame.
