Hello. Let me preface this thread by saying that everything has been just great until.....I tried to Pocket again. Here's the deal. I set up 2 identical signs side by side in Partworks. The second, a copy of the 1st. I began cutting. The 1st sign cut perfect. The second sign cut the 1st pass right, and then mysteriously began to mill down the letters. It wasn't like the Z wasn't pulling up enough between moves. Safe Z height was sufficient. I even sent the files to Shopbot, and nothing was wrong. What Tha? This isn't the only pocketing problem I've had. It seems that every pocket I do messes up. Has anyone experienced this fluke of nature? Thanks for listening. Cheers, Sarah

I was having a similar problem in Key board control; where the Bot would run-away (continue) when I gave it only a monentary command (touch of the button). I updated the SB3 software to 3_5_12. So far (one week) there have been no run-aways.
