The estimated time from Part Works is always substantially less that it actually takes to carve. For instance yesterday I cut a design that PW estimated would take 25 minutes. The actual cutting time was approximately 80 minutes.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a glitch in the PW software.

80 / 45 = 1.77 try putting that in your scaling factor for the time...see if its closer.

Thanks Erik that did it.

I'm a new shopbot owner and am quickly finding that a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.
