Hi all,
I am looking for some wisdom as I ran into a situation that doesn’t make sense to me
I have a Pro 48x96 recently upgraded to the EX Controller with servos
The sequence of events goes like this
- Set work surface level a little under the spoilboard top surface (MDF)
- Run surfacing program with 2.5" surfacing bit (it cut a little over the whole table, I kept watching it and always saw a difference in level between the current cut and the original surface level)
- Checked WCS table to make sure the Z is 0 (work surface level)
- Run program to cut 2 big rectangles from a sheet of 1/4 plywood, origin was set at the bottom of the stock and double checked in Fusion 360 that the bottom level is stock bottom
- I ended up with cuts that were supposed to be all the way that had 0.5 mm left, I made the cuts with a downcut bit and then was wondering if it’s pressing the plywood into the mdf so I ran the program again with an upcut bit but it didn’t make any difference. Just to clarify, in some areas the depth was perfect so the material left was between 0 and 0.5mm
The only thing related that I found reading other posts was that MDF absorbs moisture and will not stay flat but doesn’t seem likely to happen in 30 min
Please help, I am completely clueless on what to try next
Thank you in advance for any ideas,
Cristian
