Finish Cut Issue

Post by Songweaver1 »

I ran a rough cut and all was fine.... I loaded the next bit (1/16 ball nose) in the router and hit the home zero that I set for the rough cut. I looked a bit high but I started the run..... nothing was being cut.... I returned to zero and lowered the bit a little.... same thing.... not cutting...
Anyone have suggestions for this? I have been getting good results on previous finish cuts.... not this one....

You say the you "hit the home zero that I set for the rough cut” but you don’t mention whether or not you adjusted the z-zero to take into account that the new bit might not (probably does not) extend as far as the roughing bit does.
