    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: CNC Test-20170304.zip

    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)!
