When using the keyhole generator I’m getting inconsistent results. Sometimes it works correctly. Sometimes it goes on an angle. I haven’t made any adjustments. The wood is secure and is not moving during the carve.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

It looks like the machine is loosing steps. What are the feeds/speeds? You might have to slow them down …

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I didn’t intentionally change any of the settings, but maybe I mistakenly mixed something up. Deleting the original file and creating a new one seemed to work!
