Control Panel 1.6

Overall I like the upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6, but can anybody tell me if they put a limit on how big of a file it is can handle.

Re: Area not cutting

Re: Movement just stops mid execution

Re: Touch Plate problem

If you are still having an issue one thing I ran into is I was not being careful with where I placed the magnet. If it was too close or on an edge it would shift and lose contact as the router descended, it needs to be entirely on the flat. This would not explain why only V bits unless it is just a ...

Re: Concentricity Between Tool Changes

Just something to check. Look at your offsets. I had inadvertantly added an offset when setting up the programming in the toolpath section one day. I was pulling my hair out for a while.
