I've watched the tutorial videos on VCarve 9 desktop. saved the toolpaths (with the datum position in the correct places) (middle when designing, lower left when doing toolpaths), and when i load it onto a USB drive and try and run it on the Shark, it doesn't follow the toolpaths. it followed the black arrow the first time. found out i was saving it as the "CNC shark USB 3d contour", i resaved it as the "Shark USB ARCS" per NextWaves email. tried to re-run it, and the next 2 attempts, it followed the white arrow, gouging the clamp/ hold down. I had input the "z gap" as .25" whereas the clamps are only .20"
and i zeroed out the x,y- axis and used the touch plate to zero the z
ive enclosed photo of router paths and the crv file.
thank you so much in advance.
I'm hoping its a simple setting.
edit: realized one of my problems was i designed the piece in software facing the wrong orientation
thank you nextwave
