General Mach Discussion / Re: Problem engraving - depth changes

Hi Dminnery,
Not sure if this is any help because I am just stating the obvious which I am sure you are aware of already…
Perhaps you could first check your GCode file to see if it is calling for any changes in depth of cut (Z).
If the GCode is always calling for the same depth then you need to check your machine (loose coupling, tool moving in collet, electrical noise issues, etc.etc.).
If the GCode is calling for different depth’s then you need to read up on the Vectric manual / tutorial video’s etc. relating to different toolpath generation methods (engraving / profiling / v-carving etc.).
