    I have been busily getting my head around fusion 360 in the background (very nice programme, can't believe they let the likes of me use it for nothing!) and sent my first programme to the machine this evening and of course things did not go quite to plan.

    The intention was to cut a small pocket 55x55mm with a 1/2" router bit (12.7mm)

    This was all set up correctly in fusion (I think) and it cut fine, albeit far too slow (I'll up the feed rate next time around), but the problem came when I measured the part - see pictures below... any ideas!?

    After all this time building, it is dawning on me that I have no idea how to use this new tool of mine :(

    Edit: Sorry - pictures make this look worse than it is as I forgot to zero the calipers! I'll take some new pictures...
