On easel, my toolpath is correct. When I cut, bit barely cuts and goes off project. Checked wires, stepper motors and everything seems good. Any advice/tips/ resources would be helpful. ---

can you share the project with us? go to project\>Share and change it from private to unlisted and copy that link and then supply it over here It’s only a copy of your project and we cant make changes to your original via the link, but it would show any design errors / anomalies. ---

Have you ensured that your GRBL settings are correct for your machine? You need to use the settings for the 3018 and not those for the X-Carve. Check out this link… > [@The x axis grows by 25% when exporting](https://community.inventables.com/t/the-x-axis-grows-by-25-when-exporting/121349/7): > > You’ll want to plug the cnc into a computer and connect to is via candle (or other gcode sender) and read the grbl settings. and provide the value for $100 James made a great video using the 3018, but the process is the same for your FA4040.

Also, here is a video showing the calibration process, BUT you will want… {:0) Brandon Parker
