[EAGLE & WOLF Finish 1\_16 ball.gcode](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/0/8/083d0fe3f56c091a7bc2d1cc1464fbf29d70cf78.gcode) (7.6 MB) Hi again all Noob at it again… Ok so I wanted to try cutting this is MDF using a 1/8" endmill rough cut the using a 1/16" ball nose finish. When I try to bring the Gcode into Easle it validates the rough cut the starts saving and resets to a blank project. Not sure what I did different the MDF is 17"x17"x 3/4 thick. I restarted computer before bringing up Easle to clear the memory. ---

It won’t even let me upload the rough gcode for this file to this post. ---

I created it in Vcarve pro. I changed the 1/8" end mill to a 1/4" and it seems to run better in Vcarve. ---

Was just going to try it in Easel with the 1/4" end bit. ---

I was saving them as a separate Gcode. Rough and Finish shouldn’t be a tool change that Easel sees. ---

For some reason it doesn’t like the 1/8" end mill Gcode it wouldn’t even let me upload it to the forum.[EAGLE & WOLF rough 1\_4 endmill.gcode](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/6/f/6fc1c8b4a831c22dcedf927768ce2a37636e53df.gcode) (6.4 MB) Not sure what your asking I make it in Vcarve save the Gcodes the bring the Gcode up in Easel. Run it on Xcarve with the X-controller. ---

I had to of done something wrong when I have the 1/8" end bit in. I went in and changed the 1/8" to a 1/4" end bit and it is running fine. The size of the 1/8" gcode file is 147 MB the 1/4" is 5.49 MB. ---

You can get a post processor for V-Carve from inventables website here [https://www.inventables.com/technologies/vcarve-desktop](https://www.inventables.com/technologies/vcarve-desktop). This is the one I use and it works perfectly have never had an issue. Since I have started using V-Carve I only use easel’s GCODE feature. The one annoying thing about Easel is having to reprobe the tool even if i’m doing re-cuts. ---

How to you bypass this step in easel? ---

I would only do this if rerunning a tool that just finished a cut. ---

I do that for X and Y but the Z probe is a different page that only shows probe or manual. Do I click Manual? I have never tried that one. ---

Yes on the manual choice you can select “use last home” which really means last work zero. ---

> [@MichaelLaviolette](#): > > The size of the 1/8" gcode file is 147 MB the 1/4" is 5.49 MB. What is your pass depth? That is a drastically different size between the two. And most likely Easel is barfing at the 147MB file. Just too big for Easel.
