So today I faced my spoilboard I put another one on top faced that as well.

I wanted to cut an edge and keep getting z axis exeeded …I had the spoilboard dig in feature at 0.125"

I disabled it …again getting z exceeded.

I enabled it again now with 0.5" and now it cuts…so I disable it should it not avoid the z axis msg?

Tnx!

Turn spoilboard dig-in off and set it to 0. It’s a bug that’s been fixed in our next (unreleased) software update

I’ve been getting the “z axis work envelope exceeded” message with regular profiling jobs where it just shuts down the job. Is this related and are there any fixes to a simple profiling job?
