Oh, sorry, I re-read that now, you refering to the V-bit cutter we are using, we will double check that first thing tomorrow morning, it'll be really weird if it's that cuz our cutter maker are really acurate and uses a shadowgrath to get it perfect. Here]s hoping it's that!

No, it can't be the program, we've been using it for over 10years on 4 other cnc machines and never experianced this problem. I'm pretty sure it's something messed up with the new machine...

Overload, it's all over, were ever the Cam program is using corner sharping it $#%$ up. Next step will be two use another program, maybe this machine don't like the one we are using..
It's a Servo mchine BR549

We 1st thought it might be caused by the double sided tape we were using, it had some flex in it, so we build a vacuum table that's 3 micron accurate. Then we cut a sample, still not right, then we figured it had to be the calibration of the machine, so we fixed that now, still not working, I'm really perplexed by this, it's going to give me restless nights!!!

Remember the corners are really small, it'll cut fine on big corners I think, it's cutting about 0.2mm into the corner but it's really noticeable on small corners,...

Richard, we don't have any flex in any axis - so it can't be that, thx anywayz..

Ok, nevermind, we got it sorted now, the jerk was the machine "moving" the diffs we typed it, took a few tries for it to get it right thou, weird. Gonna cut sample now, hope it was the cuz for the weird corners!!!

Hmm, how the hell do you calibrate the Y, we got to the page were you move the Y, it ask you how far it moved, we punch in how far it actually moved and then test it and it moves exacitally the same WRONG distance?!?! Do we have to restart the PC or is it not needed to take effect? Also, it gives a "jerk' after we tell it how far it moved, is that normal?

We are recalibrating the Y axis now, it was out by 4.5mm over 800mm!!! The X and Z are spot on.
