Hi All
So I had my router a couple of days and did two programs that ran fine, but I found some plans for a simple vacuum table so thought I would make one about 12" square to do smaller stuff on, so opened the dxf file I drew in artcam, did all the tool paths etc, and then saved it for my router, then set the router up, (tool height sensor) set it running and the router bit is almost an inch above the work when running.
I thought I had set it up wrong but if I just cancel that program and run one of the other two programs using the same height and placement setting, it works fine, just anything I done since last night sits almost an inch above the work.
I know I must have done something, but can't work out what and its driving me mad. I did join the artcam forum, but they have to approve your account first and don't seem over quick to do that.
So I know it's a long shot, but was having such fun now I finally got it, only to be stopped dead, but something I don't understand how or why it's doing it.
Many thanks anyway.
J Don
