    Exclamation Buddy Surface Board Off

    I have had my buddy standard 32 for more than 3 yrs. PC router. I tried 3X to surface my spoilboard and each time I get .005 difference from ine end of the X axis to the other end. The variation starts about half through the spoilboard. See photo. The X's are where the cutter drops a litte deeper .005"

    Running 1-1/4" surfacing bit
    20% over
    2/1 ips
    PC 3-1/4 HP
    Rastering pocket along X axis

    Any thoughts on what it might be?

    Thanks
    Angelo

    Chances are i am not addressing your issue. I also have buddy. The spoil board has to be square with the table, so at times the planning will be deeper in spots.

    Recently i noticed some uneven cutting on my plaques. My spoil board is almost 1.4 inches thick and the wood that i work with is 1.7, so together very rigid. I found that my rollers had gunk on them, so every time the board hit the gunk, the table raised and i cut a groove in the plaque. so i lowered my rollers enough so that they dont touch the spoil board and my cuttings are better.

    Like i said this more than likely is not your issue.
