I have Xcarve and installed new risers to cut thicker material. The first time I used it, I zero out the machine setting. when I set it to carve, it plunged through the material and clear into the deck of the table. I checked my settings then tried it once again and with the same results. I’m trying to do a 3D carving and my material is 1/2 inch and I don’t know why it plunged down to 3/4 of an inch when my settings are set to 1/2 inch.
any chance the z lifts up too high at the start (due to safety height(s)) and then looses steps then plunges down further than programmed…
Also I’d check for loose wires as a loose wire could cause the Z to fall and it kinda looks like a plunge move…
I have the machine set up to carve. I have my project ready to carve and probed. When I start to carve, the Z axes moved the router strait down then carves through the material and table?
