I have had an X-carve since 2019. It has worked well in my classroom. I recently upgraded it with the whole kit. New Z and 9mm belts.
I have trammed and squared it, and made sure the GRBL settings are correct. I have adjusted the dip-switches and verified that they are correct, and verified that it will move the right distance in the z. The most recent firmware is installed, and I have the Machine set up in easel as explained and expected.
I home it. And probe it before the cut. I have made sure my probe is the correct heght as measured.
My problem is that when the depth of z cuts, it will not go to the complete depth, and then all of the next cut starts higher, and goes less deep. The cuts after the first all cut air for basically a few passes before enteringthe material. I have tried many times with differn’t programs and looked over the g-code.
- A .75" cut is only 0.537" deep for example. (71%) Cut to be all the way through with tabs.
- A 50. is 0.3275 (65%)
- A 1/4’ cut is 0.075 (30%)
And the 1/8 cut never cut. They start too high above the materil
The x and y cuts are also of a bit. They cut constantly up to a 1/32 short
Has anyone else had this problem?
It’s hard to teach tolerances and fits with the machine off this way.

Simple cuts, but none are deep enough.
