Okay I know this is most likely an Aspire question but here goes. I am making a acorn on my indexer and have a question. When it is in the final stages of using a .125 ballnose bit it will turn 360 degrees then reverse and do another 360 degrees. The z axis then raises .5 inch then goes down to the wood surface and then proceeds to cut in one direction then reverses itself and then raises again. It does this for the whole time it is cutting the final cut. Is there a way to stop the raising of the z axis and proceed to cut without raising the z axis? Why does Aspire make it reverse itself while cutting instead of just turning the z axis constantly in one direction which to my opinion would take half as much time. Anyone have the answers?
