Thank you for your quick reply.
The cutter cuts perfectly, just not to the required depth set in v carve, start depth is set identically to all my other bits at 0.0mm cut depth is set the same as my other bits at 15.6mm to cut through 15mm ply. ( I don't know why, but this depth seems to give me the best finish on the underside and still retains my tabs.
As I say, even if I increase the cut depth to 17mm, it still cuts to just above the tab depth. It is only this router bit I have this issue with, which is odd.
The diameter of the bit is set correctly in v carve at 3.175mm, as an end mill, there is no option to input cutter length. Pass depth is set to 2.8mm, step over at 0.952mm at 30%
Passes in the tool path are set at 5 passes comprising of 3.333 for the first cut and then 6.24, 9.36,12.48 and 15.6mm. As far as I can tell this is all set correctly?
Safe Z is set at 6mm above the workpiece.
Any help with this extra info would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Andy
