After I set the zero on the Z-axis then I start the program. I set the Z-axis using the probing block as well as using the paper method. The bit starts the process but instead of moving down to zero on the material, the process runs the first couple of passes above the board.
I have seen several people on Facebook having the same problem as I am.
I have checked the minimum safe Z height. I checked the cad program which is Carvco Maker. The bit is tight in the collar. The router without the bit has room to almost touch the material so there is plenty of room with the bit.
You would have to pick one, paper or block. If your block works and you entered your block dimensions correctly, don’t use paper. 1/2" is kinda the thickness of the block.
At first, I would use paper, no block. Just put the block away for a minute and see if that takes care of things.
Or put the paper away and see if the block does it’s job.
Make sure you have the zero height set properly in Carveco material properties for your setup. You can either zero from the top or bottom of the material.
This problem was first reported in April of last year. It was the only post or activity by this member. I’m thinking that he may have solved this issue.
