So I finally have Lucy set up and read to go.
Yesterday i was doing some test cuts on some 10mm foam board i had readily available.
I quickly drew up a file with 6 circles that sit within each other, and for the CNC to cut various steps into the foam board, then finally cut the circle out of the board.
Circle Depth Radius Circle 6 8mm 20mm Circle 5 6mm 40mm Circle 4 4mm 60mm Circle 3 2mm 80mm Circle 2 1mm 100mm Circle 1 11mm 120mm
Should look like this:

See the attached Aspire file, dxf and file for Mach3 txt file: Attachment 20947
I set the feed rate to 100 mm/sec and 8,000 RPM
Anyway, everything looked file until it got to the outer circle (circle 1), when it did this (I set it to do 11mm, so all the way through)!

Does anyone have any ideas why it did such a crazy thing?
