Thanks Ray...
If your v-carve border did in fact cut properly and the preview in V-Carve looked correct for the cutout then the problem is not with V-Carve or Mach3 it is your machine.
Well the sign looks fine up until the actual cutout from the work piece... Like I said, there is a vcarve borber line that round around the sign by .125" that is because I offset the vector to outside .125" and then use that offset outside vector to outside through cut the piece for the sign shape.. Hope that makes sense..
Now that outside through cut looks great on the bottom half, but on the top the bit runs in all the way to the inside vcarve vector and clearly ruins the piece..
That looks like it is the machine?
Again, I have tried many times to center a cutout on a piece of material and it always cuts it off centered.. I have checked this and double checked many times with the same result... A entered piece in Vcarve coming out offcenter on the workpiece for a basice square through cut...
Did you reduce your speed and acc by 50% as Tweakie said?
I have not got back to the machine yet but will in a bit and post if it helps..
Thanks for all help!
