Cut right through board

Just started using autolevller and so far a few successes. I few mishaps. Most on my part like missing a broken bit. Tonight I had one that I could not explain.

Re: Milling leaving behind "threads" of copper.

I will try bumping up the rpm. But I can't go too much higher. Have one of those cheap Chinese routers.

Probe is already tripped when starting G38.2 or G38.3 move?

I am running g-code produced by the demo version of autoleveller for the first time. I am running it on linuxcnc. I touch the Z axis off about 10mm above the board as per the instructions on this site. When I run the code, the Z axis moves down and the bit makes contact with the board and stops. I t...
