    Somehow it is the mpc. The only difference is the centerline text, right? Maybe if you delete the centerline it will do the carve. Then you could do the text as a separate project. I am not too experienced at centerline stuff but I do remember problems with off board stuff and centerline.

    OK, now I am totally confused. I did what you suggested, just removed the centreline. Loved everything and its carving away.

    So I will have to recarve it with the centreline only once its done. And this brings up a important thing. I had a carve a few weeks ago that took me for ever to load. And once it finally did, it carved everything till it got to the centreline and failed. I had to delete the paterns and just do the centreline. Had to do it three times as it kept failing.

    Is centreline an issue?

    Centerline must be the issue. I do not know why.

    Any chance the surface wood is being fully cut away on the brass roller side of the board and the top pressure rubber roller is dropping into a cut away area on the brass roller side, letting the rubber roller switch release confusing the machine? (-1 Run in Sentence)

    Or the same situation as above except the pressure is reduced on the board and it looses contact with the brass roller?

    I had a thought when doing multi wide boards to add a Non Carved Edge on each side of the top surface of the board by adding a 1/2 inch strip of ZERO Carve Region on each side of the board. Something you cut off on the table saw or jointer later. The zero region keeps the rubber rollers up top pushing down...

    A WAG... since I did not open the mpc's.... Running 1.184.

    Al, he just had some centerline text in the middle of the last board. He had carve regions which went off the board (spanning the boards), so it makes no sense to me.

    First of all, trouble shoot using pine, don't waist the mahogany. Try loading a board 1" wider than your project and center the project leaving 1/2" un-carver top and bottom for the rollers. When carved, rip off the 1/2".
