So jumped into the CNC today and having a strange problem. Hoping someone can help. Set up the A350 for CNC, wasteboard installed and screwed down tight. .25" MDF attached to waste board. I have tried cutting a large shape, like 8" round at 6.37mm, 6.4mm, 6.55mm and it cuts incredibly well. EXCEPT that it only cuts through on the right side of the cut. The left side is not cut through. That was why i increased the depth to cut because i thought that the wasteboard was not level or that my materials was not milled even … but eveytime i cut i get the same results … HELP!
I am have the same issue. I have read multiple posts with it as well. Seems like the bed mount is lower on the left side then the right. My CNC cutting will cut on the right side of my material and float above the left
This is a well known problem in diy cnc. A work around that does not involve modifying the machine is by making your own waste board or just an additional kind of platform on the SM waste board.
So basically you place a plate on the machine and flat mill it completely. So now you have a work platform that is for sure parallel to the XY axis.
This method is almost a must if you want to do double sided cnc. It is a bit of initial setup but I believe it will save you tons of pain later…
