Hi all!
I’ve had my 1000x1000 machine up and running now for about a week. I’ve had no issues cutting wood (unless I just hadn’t realized it) and finally took on the task of cutting acrylic. Now I know that’s a tough material to mill, but I’ve done my research.
The issue is that I’m specifying the machine to cut at a depth of .009 in. My feed is 60 ipm…good for acrylic. However, it keeps plunging deeper than I want it to. I home it properly using easel’s axis buttons. Also, even after it plunges, it seems to get deeper and deeper. The bit is not loose at all as that was my first thought…but it’s in there good!
I cannot figure it out…help!
