Hi, my Carvey is milling too deep on the first initial pass. I have triple checked the material thickness settings and everything but it continues to mill too deep into the material. Before milling it touches the button on the smart clamp which I thought was supposed to zero the Z-axis, but it doesn’t appear to be working.
What am I doing wrong?!
The X-Carve needs to be calibrated on all axis so when told to move a certain distance, it moves that exact distance. I suspect the Carvey also has such a need? Not quite sure since I don’t have one.
I had this happen when the smart clamp sensor started failing. Rather than “kissing” the smart clamp button, the zero process really depressed the little silver button all the way down. If this happens, you’ll probably need to contact support. They sent me a new smart clamp. (new design is less prone to fail).
If it is just “kissing” the smart clamp button and you’re cutting too deep, can you run some tests and determine if it is a constant error? Try a few small pockets with different depths, making sure that each try is a new project with it’s own zero. If you can find a constant factor, contact support with the info and they can send an offset to your machine to correct the problem.
How much deeper than expected is the first pass?
Ease up on how tight the “Smart” clamp is.
Have the same problem, firs pass going to deep. My Carvey is brand new. I use Fusion 360 for my project. Can someone help me to fix this problem.
Same question and initial advice.
