I am making a small carving on 1\2 inch baltic birch using a 60 degree v carve bit.
I am using the z probe and it seems to be working perfectly. But when I go to carve, the bit
doesn’t seem to be at the proper height. Doesn’t even touch the material in some places it should.
I am also confused about the depth of cut in easel. It is all the way down to 1/2 inch. Shouldn’t that be cutting completely through the material?
I suspect one or more of the following:
- Most materials are uneven in thickness, very prevalent with thin/shallow engraving
- The waste board may also be uneven relative to Z height.
- Probe thickness may not be set accurately in software, so it this it is lower than in it is.
