I’ve already posted on the FB group, but no solutions, so I figured I’d try here…
I have an issue where a 3D engrave starts cutting deeper as it progresses. My last test was 5" wide, 90-degree raster so it would cut cross-grain, and the thickness on the right (starting) side was a good 1-2mm thicker than the left (ending) side.
I just did a test using Offset Climb strategy (spiraling from the inside out) on a different model and it did the outer section first and then the inner and finally the center… but you could see the outer ring (first part to be carved) was a good 0.5-1mm thicker than the inner area.
My spoil board is surfaced, my Makita router is trammed as well as I can make it (surfacing left visible stripes, but nothing you could really “feel”), the 3D engrave otherwise looks beautiful… what could be going wrong here? The Z depth consistently got deeper across 2 different 3D models. Any help would be very appreciated!
