Board too thick ?

[myshop1044]

attached is some pictures of the cutpath not going thru the project board.
The strange part is I used this same project for a demo yesterday. I when thru the measuring of the sled,
checking the 3 bits, when the cutting bit was installed, it when thru it's regular process and then it asked what was the thickness
of the project and I gave it .75, then it ask for the carving bit and starting carving. a couple minutes into the carving
I stop the it .
This morning I used the same sled with the board still in the it and when it ask for cutting bit it decided the board too thick
and gave me the options of abort or continue.
This is strange, in the last 3 projects I did , was the "Gone Fishing" projects, it did the same thing, the first time was find and 2nd and 3rd "board too thick"
I'm not sue what's going on here. check out the pic.s

When it says "board too thick", does it display how thick it thinks the board is?

[myshop1044]

No, when it goes down on the left side, 3 times then it comes up and does not try to go to the right side like normal,
To check the thickness or touch the guide plate.

I have had this happen before. I remember trying all the firmware versions and it still happened. I concluded that it was "normal" and one had to press continue. Now, I cannot get it to happen no matter what I try! Still working on it.

Check the board tracking roller - see of there is a hole where the bit touches or if no hole is there, check the play in the board tracker assembly. I had one where the unit was broke and caused a similar issue

Ok here is the results of my test, 1- no markings on the brass plate area and it is very tight. 2- did 2 tests on my other machine and had no failures, breeze thru ,using the same cutting bit. 3 measured my 2 cutting bits, both the same. 4 when back to the first machine with the same bit and it failed 2 times more.
don't know ?????

Maybe you should look into the board thickness calibration: 0 - 6 - 2

[myshop1044]

I wasn't a wear there was such a thing, will try tomorrow. thanks.

I did the board calibration test 0-6-2, did not see any big thing with it, it went thru it's functions with the cut bit
and ask me for the thickness of the board, I entered .75 and it repeated the same questions. it never showed or confirmed the thick of the board in the machine.
Is there documentation on the steps of this cal. function or the answers it should give back.

It may not be the problem, I just thought that it could be a difference between your machines.
