Start And Finish Cut Points Of A Part Don't Align

there are a couple of reasons for misaligned cuts…

  1. motor couplers are often the problem…you need a good flashlight to see if they slipping…tighten them up.
  2. if your gantries are not free and smooth then it strains the motor and coupler and they could slip… firecontrol does not know if it binds or not…so even a little bind, the program will move forward but the cut does not follow.
  3. if you do not have torch height control and your tip possibly touches the work piece ic can shift the workpiece just a bit to cause misalignment
  4. just like tip drag…a small pice can tip up and get bumped by the torch…moving the work piece also
