    problem with pocketig and large clearing tool

    hi i got a problem with my cnc,
    when i do a job with pocket with raster mode it dosent clear all the material after it makes the contur pass (the rest material it's inside the contur)...
    the same probleme i have with vcarve and flat area clearance tool, after it does the clearance and starts the v carving it remains bits of material between the 2 steps.
    when I do only with Vcarve it's ok but takes a lot of time...
    what should i do?

    When you run the preview, make sure you click "Preview All Toolpaths".

    The clearance is a separate toolpath that runs before the contour passes.

    Are you sure you exported all the toolpaths, and not just the clearance path?

    You might want to check your actual tool diameter for differences in tool setup, and/or try running another tool.

    I agree. Actual tool size and deflection could contribute to the issue. Maybe slow it down a little.
