So I made my 1st cut (after a bit-less test run) - Used the Candy Cane outline from MakerMade.
There are a few questions.
As you can see in the pic the thing starts really shallow (2.something mm). thats fine, I almost expected that as I didn’t set the depth properly. Shrug, an outline is fine. Alon the top curve, something happened and the bit went much deeper, and all the way through (11mm). the got caught and the bit snapped off sideways.
Any advice on this? Is it the router speed or z-depth?
I know that the 1st time which broke the bit, the z-axis randomly just went down. Still no idea why that happened, every ‘dry run’ since has been fine and I’m using the same Gcode file.
The router is solid, I know that much
Must the the bit coming loose in that case.
