Wondering if anyone could suggest a quick fix to get the router bit to enter the work piece inline with the cut. This happens on plywood and stock lumber. See attached pictures.

What CAM software are you using? When cutting g a profile Fusion defaults to “side entry” for various reasons. There is a check box you can uncheck so it does not do this. ---

Thank you, I remember that I have unchecked a box that said entry a long path. I did this so that the cam would just go straight down into the workplace . I am using visualcamc ---

each CAM application is gonna be a little different with how it approaches that, I’d suggest RTFM on visualcamc and it should be pretty straightforward. ---

I hate to admit it, but I don’t know what RTFM means? ---
