    Default font problem

    I am not sure what the problem is . I am hoping that someone can help. What is happening is when it is carving the font it fades as it gets to the bottom of the board. so end of the poem the words are barely visable,

    I would look at the board - it sounds like a warping issue or that the board has and uneven thickness. When I load the project, nothing appeared to be wrong with the design. Looks like it should be a normal centerline text path.
    It is just the poem or is the word Bloomer fading as well?

    You could have a height issue on the keyboard side of the machine - Make sure your belts are not rolled under on that side of the machine.

    I carved it last night for Stan and it came out just fine. He is picking it up today.
    Not sure what the problem was maybe a board issue. I was glad I could help.

    Have him bring the board he was carving by and look it over for him.

    Thanks Tom I do appreciate the help. Leave it up to me to have a problem with no time too troubleshoot. This is a little hard for my wife and I. This guy was my father-in-law and my best friend. Him and I have gone to the eagles club to play poker for the last 32 years. So he will be missed.
