    Just had my first oh shit emergency stop.

    For some reason during a multipass cut of 18mm Birch plywood, the machine lost about 10mm in the Y direction during pass number 4.
    I was cutting 4mm passes at about 1500 mm / per min.

    As i was towards the end of the cut the cutter was already 16mm into the wood, so when the Y lost 10mm the cutter started to plow into the full depth plywood.

    After slamming the Estop. I jogged the machine back to what should of been the Zero start point but the Y was 10mm behind where i started. The gantry still seemed square.

    It buggered up my very nice piece of ply, but Jazzes Estop circuit worked perfectly! Anyone got any ideas what might of happened?.
    I thought i set a fairly conservative feed rate / multipass depth to be honest.

    Thanks
    Martin
