I have just cut some slots for some clamps, the through cuts worked fine. I then ran a shallow cut for bolts outside the vector using the same vector and they where offline. I screwed the mdf down so it didnt move, any ideas why it didnt line up.

Give us a bit more info.
#1 What was the vector. Single straight line or a Slot.?
#2 Was it the same tool size and number.
#3 Did you move material or reset X/Y zero.
#4 What software
Pics would be good
It was a 7mm slot with semi circles at both ends, it was the same tools. I set the xyz between runs and the software is v carve pro. The material was screwde to the waste board. I will have to check if the waste board moved maybe.
Highly likely you moved either x or y zero then.? Other less likely things could beQuote:

if I was routering inside and outside the same vector should I rehome and re touch probe inbetween each process.
If you don't move the material or part then you don't need to reset anything other than the Z height if you changed the tool. If you use the same tool then you don't need to do anything, just run your new code (provided you set the same X Y position in CAM)Quote:

Great thanks for your help
