Hi
Im having trouble cutting slots in V Carve pro.
When I cut a simple L shaped slot, it plunges ok, but when it gets to the end, instead of leaving the slot squarely upwards, it ramps on exit
I'm using the 'Profile Toolpath' option to cut the slot with a 6mm mill bit. I can see no option to adjust this.
How do I get it to leave the cut slot with out ramping up?
Is the ramp actually in the g-code, or is your controller causing the ramp?

In 'Toolpath Options', is 'Profile toolpath' (the 1st option) the correct one to use for this type of cut?
My guess is that your controller is doing it. What are you controlling the machine with?
I have MACH3 running on laptop, I'm not sure what the controller box is called. Everything else is running fine. It cuts voids, shapes spot on. But on a one way a - b slot, it ramps as it leaves the slot. (not stop and go upwards motion).Quote:

Here are the Z Axis settings and final G-Code:Quote:

Thanks. I'll give that a try tomorrow. Does the info I provided suggest that will work?Quote:
