Roughing pass to detail pass

I tried a carve yesterday that called for 1/8’’ roughing pass and I added a 60 degree V bit option for the detail pass. the Xcarve completed the rouging pass and the program stopped and asked if it did good or bad, I said good and thats it! What do I do to make it do the detail pass? I’m missing something here!!

Swap out the bits and go through the steps again, set the Z, use last home position.
When you’re going through the steps it will change the bit to the 60 degree.

When you use your probe try and do it in the same spot as the roughing pass, That is if you have the probe

Hi, if I don’t have the probe yet, will this still work by doing the paper test?

Yes the paper method will work, try and set the Z in the same spot on the wood for both bits.
Choose an area that the roughing bit won’t remove any wood.
