Hi
I am trying to figure out what is going wrong with job:
I have taken a vectorart3d sample file and set it up in Machinist, then imported it into VCarve Pro 6.
From there I set up some text around the image and output the toolpaths for the text as well as the toolpaths brought in with the VectorArt3d file.
Now, in Mach3, all initials setting were made at the material surface and matches VCarve settings (X0,Y0,Z0). Then the toolpath for the rough out was opened in Mach3. The file was run on a Romaxx CNC.
Here's the problem: no cutting happened because the bit was going right along cutting air, at about 1/8 above the board surface/Z0.
Any ideas out there?
You can find the files (except for the VectorArd3d...to large) at
Vectric Forum • View topic - Bit only "cutting air" above board!
Thanks in advance for any help!
