Glad to see you're up and running George.
So, has anyone else seen a problem with holes not drilling all the way through the workpiece? I've had this happen once on my friend's Axiom and both times on my 1F. I specify the depth equal to the thickness of the workpiece, or even another 0.005", the GCode looks fine, but the bit doesn't actually drill all the way through. I had an spiral upcut on my friend's machine, and a combo up/down cut bit on mine.
Another problem I just encountered when cutting out some clamps today in solid stock, 0.63" poplar. I set the depth of cut equal to the stock thickness, zeroed the Z-axis on the front, left corner, and ran the program. After the program finished and I removed the parts. The spoilboard was just scratched at the front, left corner, but about 2/3's of the way toward the right end the bit had cut 0.050" into the spoilboard. I checked the zero and it was perfect, and it also read within a couple of thousandths at all locations on the spoilboard, so the bit didn't slip in the router nor was the spoilboard humped up. It's as if the X-axis was deflecting downward where it cut too deeply. I checked the GCode and found the max. depth of cut to be 0.63" everywhere. Any insights?
Thanks,
John
