    You could reflash your card with 1.187 firmware to finish your 5 cutouts. I assume that the problem is in the newer firmware. I am thinking that a bug could have been introduced when the "flip jig" feature was added.

    I will try some experiments. It would really help if someone had a simple mpc which recreated the problem. I take it from you both (Perry and Dick) that the problem should arise for a 3/4" thick double sided project on a 1/4" thick sled. Carving on the back and cutout on the front.

    I tried to attached the project mpc, it is too large for the forum. If you PM me your e-mail address I will send it that way.
    My e-mail is PGBonin@yahoo.com .
    I looked at my flash card and all my projects are version 1.187, but I still get the jig question. Is there a way to turn off the jig question on the machine?

    I have often wondered why it is that
    Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".

    the fool to the left."

    You have to change the firmware on the card. With the card in the reader, open the flash manager (File-Flash Manager). Push the firmware button. Now press the middle Choose button. Now you have to navigate to the Carvewright 1.187 directory (just called Carvewright). Double click on the file there called control.mwm.

    (It is easy to return to the newest firmware because it will always be asking you to it whenever you upload from the newer Designer.)

    I had the issue with single-sided cutout if I recall correctly. Just create a circle with a cutout, max depth.25" per pass, I think that should do it. I also had different behavior with the standard Carvewright 1/8" cutting bit and a slightly longer bit in an ER11 adapter. I am away from my shop and cannot experiment myself.
