Bobart Emboss Z and Bobcam Z

[artracing]

I'm sure this is my training problem
I'm having a issue where Boboart emboss is cutting correctly for emboss portion but letter engrave is cutting .100 to deep. Not sure what.s going on here.
I have struggled witth bobart and bobcad surface height trying to coordinate the two.
How do I set the z from bobart emboss and z from bobcam.
I attached file where the letters are being cut deeper then the .050 depth I set to.

From the help files

To keep the depth at what you want,you might consider a different angle on the tool you use
otherwise limiting the depth with tapered pocketing may not create the look you desire

V-Carve alone will cut as deep as necessary till the tool fills in the gap between the two opposing sides
Read the bottom of help file for mathematical explanation

So if you want to limit depth,you must also use tapered pocketing,,but beware,you may not get the result you are expecting
You might try a different angle of tool,experiment with different angles and/or also use of tapered pocketing

The Wizard for V-Carve is not that great.I see where people get mixed up on depth of cut
Depth of cut only comes in play when used with tapered pocketing to say it another way

[jrmach]

For an extreme view of what V-Carve does when the tool path gets wide
notice how the center of part is deeper than the two horizontal lengths

OH, I see now. I'm so tuned into milling world and depth of cut. I see how that works now.

Thank you

Can you explain why the text engraving is haphazard. It goes all over from one letter to another, not finishing some and then off to another and back again.

I'm using vCarve. finish, no rough.

I'm sure Al did a video on that but I can't remember the detail because it was before I was using it.

If I had to guess,it is because of the way the code is written by the software guru's and how it mathematically and systemically approaches the complexity of the task??

All I know is I would not want to write it by hand,even for an easy project such as yours,,,never,lol
