Bit plunges in
I need some help please. There has to be a step I’ve missed or something. I’m in Australia so work in metric mm I recently upgraded to aspire and nothing has gone right since. My carves were pretty much perfect with vcarve and now it’s running awfully I start with the roughing file and it starts off ok but then plunges in deep and rips through the wood and then won’t raise a over the wood when I cancel the job. Please help me.

Re: Bit plunges in
Are you using the same post processor that you were before?
Have you also verified that your z-zero settings on Job Setup and the clearance settings on Material Setup are what you think they are?
Are your tool settings the same as before?
It's just a matter of starting at the beginning and working through every setting. There's nothing between the two programs that would cause what you're seeing other than common settings between the two as above.
You've asked this question before and people told you pretty much the same as I just have but you didn't reply to any of the questions which makes it very hard for anyone to help you.

Hi Adrian,
I actually lost my last post sorry if I’m being a pain, yes I’m using the same post processor, the a zero setting is set correctly, doing the upgrade I managed to lose my tool settings and don’t know how to find them again. Thanks for your response.

Just had the same thing happen to me yesterday. It turned out to be a bad collet that allowed the bit to slip out.
