Not cutting the whole design

Make something in Easel do the toolpath shows 36 min cut time go to cut and it shows 36 min to cut but in about 5 min or less it says cut complete. I used a v bit and only one bit cut. Any help would be great happened 4 times now

It sounds like there might be an issue with bit selection and project design,
If you can share the project link we can provide accurate advice, otherwise the advice will just be guesses and speculation :+1:

Did you perform both a Roughing and Detail pass during each carve that you say failed? You have to select which one to carve because Easel has no way of knowing which bit you have in and which part you want to carve first.

I didn’t even interpret it the way you did at first… but after rereading it with what you said in mind, I totally think you nailed this one!

Possibly…

I figured that it was the first post, and the OP might not be aware that the Roughing & Detailed passes are meant to be two different size endmills or an endmill and a V-Bit.

Well I got it figured out thanks for the help and ideas… I feel stupid, I restarted my pc and tried again and it worked perfect. I didn’t know about the rough pass detail pass. New to this stuff so thanks for the help!!
