Sounds like there may be some play in your Z axis.
Any advise please,
I have a AZYXS 5010 couple years new. We cut .25 Aluminum sheets. We also engrave logos and text. The problem we are having is that the surface does not seam to be flat. It will be ingraving along fin3 and suddenly miss or barley touch the surface. We adjust height back up and engrave the missing part. Then it continues on engraving deeper than desired. Is there a wavy surface on the aluminum? Can we order material that would be more suited to our needs? We resurface the spoil board daily.
