I sought of had issues and couldn’t complete the parts on the first boar(4x8ft MDF). Had to complete it on the one in the picture. Had a lot of chain-skipping issues… I had t re-align my left motor, then of course re-ran calibration… I also make my cuts in one single pass nice and clean(just remember to set tabs)… I hope you get inspired. Cheers to the inventors… ![1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/6/6c091ea0605e98e995ab95b222ba8a1f32a97d6b.jpeg) ![2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/e/e250387512cd2d8b4ea0e23317440dfc5955c615.jpeg) ---

Nice work. Looks like you got it going well. But a single pass? How thick is your material and what speed and router bit are you using? ---

Thanks for the info. The rule of thumb I and others have been following was to cut not deeper than the diameter of your bit. Which of course makes it easier if you have a z-Axis motor and can automate it. You are cutting slower in x/y which maybe compensating for the depth. Greetings from Colorado 😁
