what went wrong
set this job up, viewed my toolpaths , started the job did the rough cut , changed the bit started the model cut. checked the progress occasionally was going ok. the last time I checked was at the end of model cut just before profile it looked good came back and had this . what could have caused this. the profile cut is off center and there is a cut running down the middle of the job -Jeff [attachment=1]sailboat1.jpg [attachment=1] sailboat1.jpg
Re: what went wrong
First thing that comes to mind is your mill slipped from the collet from either a wore out collet or it not fitting tight. and/or it had a bind somewhere and you lost some steps. I once used a 1/8" collet with a 3mm mill and had that problem.

Looks like lost steps to me.
