Nate told me that the maslow has issues cutting a Z pattern in the past; is this still an issue?
Thanks.

I’m not sure what you are asking? the maslow rides on the workpiece, so you
can’t cut away so much of the surface that the sled will fall into the hole you
have cut, and it takes special bits (and careful planning) if you want to
undercut. But other than that, it moves in Z just like in x and y

I didn’t mean z axis… more like cutting out big zig zag shapes or a giant letter z.

why would the maslow not be able to do this?

Only problem is acute angles, always limited by cutter diameter, otherwise I have had now problem with complex shapes.
I have no idea; seems crazy that it wouldn’t but that is what another forum user Nate told me.
So if my triangle cut has three acute angles; what does the triangle end up looking like?
Thank you.

well, since you are cutting with a round bit, the inside corner cannot be sharp,
you can’t cut anything sharper than the bit you are using.
when cutting the outside of a shape, you can make it sharp.

I think he was referring to some other issue; I’ll get some clarity from him and report back.
This is the Z issue I was referring to. Looks like it might be solved.

ahh, that was not related to a Z, but just a software bug with diagonal
movements not keeping up and has been fixed in software for several revisions.
