This one has me stumped...\
- using Mach3 and Vcarve Pro v9
- Used Vcarve Pro to create code. Using v90 1/2 inch bit in one inch stock (a
Kitchen cutting board ).
- I set depth at .4 for 2 inch letters with a .8 safety height.
- I set XYZ origins all at zero (at XY midpoint at top surface of stock).
- This code ran successfully but letters were cut very deep.
- So I created a new test file to sample various depths, using plain 3/4 inch pine stock as a sample stock.
- Created multiple letters at .4, .3, .2, and .1 as sample depths.
- I set stock at .75 and reset all XYZ origins to zero (at XY midpoint and top surface of stock)
- Ran the new code.
- Now the code starts running. But it barely makes contact with the wood. But if you stop and say Go To Zero, X and Y go to original zero, but now Z has a new Z origin .48 above the wood.
- I tried resetting my Z origin may times, always resets up higher once code starts.
- And, here is the kicker, if I rerun the ORIGINAL code that I ran the first piece (the one inch cutting board) then it too has the same problem.
What am I doing wrong? I can find nothing in the code that could be resetting my Z origin reference. Is that even possible via code?
