No, not me - a carving process!
I posted this on Vectric's forum, but wanted to see what you folks had to suggest.
I just had a strange thing happen on a cut. I'm trying to carve radius rails for two door panels. They are 3/4" thick by 1.5" wide by about 6.75" long. All looked fine on my drawing and preview in VC, but when I started the carve on my CNC, I got the results below. When the carve started, it was cutting only 5/8" wide for the first four passes. The remaining nine passes were cut at about 11/16". It should have cut at 3/4" thick all the way through.

This ain't my first rodeo, but it's the first time I've had something cut smaller than it should have.
