I own a Stinger 1 and am currently working on a 3D topographic carving. It is an 8+ hr cut with a tapered ball nose. I am using a raster cut. At each end of the x-axis cut, the router stops and raises up, then back down to start the next pass. This takes a lot of time. I was hoping that I could get the router to move back and forth without all the up and down. I am using an offset so I have clearance for the tool beyond the material boundary.
I tried zeroing out the Z heights which Vcarve Pro would not accept. Is it possible to eliminate this extra movement or is it a built in characteristic of Vcarve Pro (or WinCNC)? Any help would be appreciated.
