General Mach Discussion / Problems with cutting depth getting shallower
« on: March 17, 2017, 04:10:48 PM »
I'm trying to pocket some text on a piece of formica, but as the cutter works along the piece the depth of cut is getting shallower & shallower, for example we're cutting to 0.6mm depth with 6 passes, the first few letters start cutting on the first pass, then the next few takes 2 passes before it starts cutting & so on until nearer the end it's taking 5 or 6 passes to even start cutting & sometimes not even touching the workpiece towards the end. The work piece is about 6" in length.
I've gone over the work surface with a bottoming bit so it's not an uneven work surface,
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Sorry if this is a bit vague I'm pretty new to CNC
