View Full Version : Z-axis not lifting

In the last few days I have been cutting out lots of small parts. Every once in a while the z axis does not lift to get to the next cut, the bit simply ploughs through the material at full depth and jog speed.
So far this has cost me four new 3mm bits and lots of time
I have studied the sbp files numerically and graphically, and there is no mistake on these. I can only conclude that the machine has skipped a z-move and gone on to the next part.
I am using version sb3, have a PRT about 14 months old.
This is getting expensive. Can anyone help?

I'm sure you can find one particular guy at SB that have been hearing about such! Enter "Control box/software sb3 crash my bit!!!" in the subject field of your e-mail to support...
