Hey Guys.,
I need a little advise please. I'm trying an inlay. First, I have a next Wave Automation CNC Shark Pro. I'm using Vectric 8.5 program for software. I'm trying the inlay program and it looks easy enough, but as the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving. Okay, I watched the videos and ( I think ) followed instructions. I put in my design, using BMP, made my template, went back, flipped design, and made template. ect., ect. Cut out the pocket, then tried the inlay. I can watch the program run on the computer screen, but the cnc isn't moving, nor the router coming on. I have redrawn and reworked the program several times, making sure each time I did exactly as before. The only thing I can come up with, and this is where I need help, in the videos, they show cutting the pocket with a start depth of 0.0, and the flat depth at 0.2. Then the inlay has a start depth of 0.1, and a flat depth of 0.1. Seeing this I figured you want half and half, so my project is 0.3 deep on the pocket, and I made the inlay at 0.0938 and 0.0938start and flat. Could this be throwing the program off, or is it something else I am missing. I am NOT a computer guru by any means.. I am hoping someone on here has had this happen to them one time and you can set me straight on what I have overlooked or done wrong. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I feel it is something simple that I didn't do, and because the cnc worked on the pocket, I don't think a component burnt out inside the control box, it has to be something I am or am not doing. Anyway, if you can think of something I can try, or something with the program I may have left out, I would appreciate the suggestion or help.

Thanks guy's for helping an old man out of a jam,

Frank
