    Default V carving

    I have a problem when V carving. The letters seem to be getting an offset when trying to carve. By this I meen that if I carve an I letter it doesnt always come out with a streight edge it starts out fine but offsets a little causing an uneven edge. This only happens some of the time. Any suggestions out there?
    Thanks Frustrated Lenny

    Lenny, check your vectors and make sure the nodes are aligned.

    It would probably allow people to be of more help if you could post a picture, the carve file, and some info on the machine you're using and speeds and feeds.

    Default V carving

    I am not sure how to post the cutting program but I did enlarge it and the lettering looks perfect. I am using a Shop Bot PRT Alpha 96-48 and am using a 60 degree V bit with a spindle.
