    My First Wooden Cut

    Hello,

    I am very new to the world of CNC, I have been drawing for a few weeks now and been cutting some polystyrene foam with my router for a few days which has been working quite well.

    Yesturday I drew up a profile which is to be cut out of wood (MDF). The attached picture shows the result of that. I have also attached my .cad and my gcode file in the hope that someone could tell me why it has turned out this way.

    The wall in between the big holes is 10mm on the drawing but only about 2mm on the actual wood. Also the edges are all fury, I did use an old blade which may be quite blunt, is this the cause for that?

    Sorry for such a long post. If you have made it this far, Thank you. I appreciate any help you could give a begginner.
