« on: July 28, 2011, 07:13:09 PM »
hi guys im a newbie and struggling with mach 3 im running it on a lap top i know this is not recommended but i will get pc once i work out if it will help solve my prob The problem is i run the code (engraving) when it starts cutting its at the correct z axis depth but every time the cutter goes to job it cuts progressively deeper on every letter  this is killing me mentally

Lower the Z axis velocity and acceleration in half, and see if that helps.

Keep in mind that it's entirely possible that the laptop is the cause.
