    Hi Toomast,

    In support of post #84 (but not an answer !) I also use F360 for CAM and Mach3 for control. I had a similar problem, although the other way around.

    One of the last parts I cut out (a simple rectangle) was roughed out with 0.1 mm stock to leave, then a finish pass was applied. I forgot to do the finish pass on one of the parts (and had removed it from the machine) but as the dimension was not critical I left it there. One the second part I made sure it did the rough and the finish.

    When I measured them both the first part was spot on the dimension (but should have been 0.1 mm larger) and the second part was 0.1 mm underside (but should have been OK). As they were simple cover plate it did not matter but I wondered what had happened.

    I've cut lots of part out and not seen that before. Unfortunately my machine is now a pile of bits so I won't find out any time soon. Just thought I'd post my experiences . . . .
