Here's some pics of what I'm talking about. Item on the left is mis cut with the y axis off and with a tool change in between pocket cuts and thru cuts. The image on the right is correctly cut using...

I am losing my y axis after a tool change... before I learned about "save visable toolpaths to one file" in v carve, I would lose y and or x axis in between tool paths even with the same tool. Now...

Thanks routalot... that makes sense. A little bit of extra clean up doesn't bother me as much as my bit that exploded. I've been cutting with a whiteside 3/8" Compression bit. (HC4122).

Hello Peeps... thanks for all your help so far. I've been prototyping a couple of cabinets on my new Avid Pro 12060. I added a vacuum holddown using the Hurricane Vacuum. It works great. The first...

Well... I messed around with the tramming and got a 16" x 16" area pretty flat in both directions... then I went to surface the whole board. The area to the right of the red line is flat. The area...

Oh Man... I'm a moron... I have the Kent shoe... remove the magnetic part... duh! Thanks for the reminder.

I do have a 1/2" straight flute bit that projects 3/4" past the bottom of the shoe at...

Probably a minor inconvenience, but seems that using the touch plate with a dust shoe is a bit of a pain. Before attaching the dust collection shoe it was very easy to rotate the collet when using...

Thanks... my Z was set to max 0 and min -14

I thought maybe the safe height of 2" which was were the tool stopped after setting the start point for the work piece might be throwing it off......

Thanks guys. Was planning on cutting either 1/2" mdf or 1" alder veneer mdf. The pattern copy I definitely noticed after studying the above images a little more... Not exactly what I'm looking for...

Hello Again.... hard to believe I joined this forum 7 years ago... Happy to report I just finished the build on a Avid CNC Pro. I got it moving but not quite cutting yet...
