So I’ve notices a pattern on my XCarve. It will always cut the left side of the board but cuts the right side very shallow. Sometimes it doesn’t even touch the board and I can put it at a deeper depth and it still won’t touch it. I have squared my router to the axis, tightened all the wheels and the board has been planed. On some of my previous carves it will carve everything perfectly except for a few letters.
This isn’t the best picture, but it’s a carve I’m doing right now.
If the surface board have been skim cut the only other two options that allow for inconsistent depth are:
- Uneven thickness of material to be carved
- Play on Z-axis or loosing position (lost steps)
I really hope Haldor, has helped you cause that sign does not read nice…hope all is well !!

I’ve noticed that if I put any amount of pressure on the router while it is carving, it becomes readable, but definitely a massive difference in depth
