Aftenoon Everyone,
I'm having a slight problem with my machine today and I was wondering if anyone could help.
I'm carving an 1/8" piece of Masonite, mounted on a 3/4" piece of mdf... to use as a printing block for a poster. Unfortunately in the areas that the machine is carving it is trimming off about 1/32" (in areas where a pattern is placed) of the top of the Masonite. Usually this would not be a problem... but in this case I would like to keep the smooth surface of the Masonite intact.
I thought this might be a calibration issue... but it seems that the machine is doing it deliberately... as blank areas inside and aroud the pattern are left untouched...
so I'm not sure what to mess with... software or hardware.
I am attaching the MPCs of my project
thanks for any help
