    Artcam M3

    Hello I have a Chinese CNC 1325 model which uses mach 3. I have already configured everything however there is a moment when I try to write on Granite with appropriate bits, it starts well but the more it progresses in engraving, the worse the engraving does not engrave inside the marble or granite while the machine continues simulations. I tried to react the wick but it's still the same problem: it's serious at the beginning but the more it progresses the more it doesn't serious anymore. What could be the problem? THANKS

    It sounds like your bits are wearing down as they encounter that hard material. What are they made of? Sintered diamond bits give the most life, but even they will get smaller in use, especially if you're cutting granite. You're doing this wet, aren't you?

    The other problem you're going to run into is the degradation of all the moving parts in your machine, as the abrasive dust gets into them.

    "React the wick" - say what? R U serious?
