Have three models in a project that I use and then create a profile vector with software. Vector creates fine…looks great in software, but when I run on my machine it is close on the left side but drifts out on right side and leaves about 1/8 + material on right side of project I have to then remove by hand. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Hard to tell from your description but I’d try to redo your toolpaths. Remember that they are a point in time when they are created. Any changes or tweaks to the design will not be reflected in previously saved toolpaths.
@Woody5850 Welcome to the group.
If someone here is going to be able to help, you should post much more information, such as
- What CAD/CAM software did you use to create the profile vectors?
- What machine are you running?
- What code sender are you using?
- What post processor did you use in your CAM application?
- Is it only this project in which you are experiencing this problem?
