I am new to programing and I am having trouble with boarders on a sign. I can design it just fine how ever when I go to calculate the carving I get a warning that it exceeds the material depth. I have now trouble at all with text only the boarder. I tried to compare the 2 and cant see a difference..what am I missing?

thank you

The warning tells you that you're not just cutting through your workpiece, but you're continuing to cut even deeper. It's probably not what you want to happen.

First thing to do: Ensure that your workpiece thickness is what you intend it to be. If you change this, recalculate the paths and see if the warning still occurs.

If you still see the warning, that means you have at least one path where [Starting Depth] + [Depth of Cut] > [Material Thickness]. If you're using the VCarve toolpath, it's easy for that to happen accidentally unless you specify a maximum depth.

ok thank you
