Bit hovers above material

1

No matter the depth that is programmed, the bit hovers about .08 above the surface of the material. It doesn’t always do this, but most of the time it does, and I can’t figure out what the difference is. I’ve called NUMBEROUS times over the last year about this. 3 times this week alone with no real answers. The last guy sent me some emails of troubleshoots…nothing changed. I don’t know if it is Easel or user error.

Brad, welcome to the form

what size cutter are using when this happens? short and/or long ? 1/4" and/or .125 cutter?
what machine are using when this happens is it stock or upgraded?
if it’s upgraded lower your “Z” assembly down about .1"

I use Easel for the software. Because of my issues, I didn’t use it for a long time and my account lapsed. I just re-subscribed last week and it came with program updates.

There are no upgrades to the machine. I have tried an up cut 1/8” and a 90 degree v bit.
