So I designed carving a box 1.5" x 1.5" and had it carve the region in that box .5" deep. When finished the actual carve ended up being 1 5/8" x 1 5/8" in size. I used a 3/16" bit for the pattern setting in the board definition. I hate that I have to second guess the end result of carving a region. I did not have any feather either. Why is this?
