I'm using vectric aspire and a pocket operation to do rabbet joints. I've done a bunch of these on MDF and they came out good but I'm doing plywood now and all of a sudden I've got a .03" lip left between the pocket edge and the profile cut. Definitely not a machine issue, my bit seems fine, kind of clueless why this lip is being left here. Any ideas?

Upon measuring it seems to have cut the pockets 1/16" to small all the way around. hmm

What kind of machine is this? Are you climb cutting, or conventional cutting?

it's my diy router. all the outer profiling in this toolpath was dead on perfect. just these pockets and some of the inside profiling is smaller than intended or shown in aspire. climb cutting. would that cause this? I have thought about switching to conventional

I can't really tell what the issue is by looking at the pictures.
If ther's any deflection in your machine, climb cutting can cut smaller than intended.
