Hi all, Could anyone assist in why my profile cuts refuse to line up when doing tiled cut and feeding through Y direction? I have made a straight fence, so I am sure I am feeding the stock material through straight - but every time I try to cut Tile 2, it always starts about 3-4mm to the left of Ti…

I have not tried tiling myself but I have been watching some YouTube on the process. Most (all?) videos I have seen use some sort of registration holes, cut by the CNC, to ensure alignment. For example: https://youtu.be/6c7iN2NlSHA

What software are you using, Kyle?

Thanks Ben I will have to try it out. It’s just so odd, as I am sliding it against a straight fence but it always seems to be out by 3mm along the X axis. I tried physically moving my stock for the Tile 2 cut buy 3mm to the right and ended up getting results I could work with. Really odd.

This is a video that Vectric put up on Youtube regarding tiling of 2D toopaths, might be worth a look. [Vectric V10 Tutorials | 2D Toolpaths | Toolpath Tiling]

Thanks Nick. Think you might have nailed it

I would recommend checking if the straight fence is parallel to the machine axis. You could slowly jog a bit (not running) 1mm alongside your fence and measure if the gap between the bit and the fence remains constant. There are (expensive) sensors to test parallelism, of course, but if you have a…

For anyone else doing a search on how to improve their tiling game, ensure that you’ve 1)made your 1F coplanar, 2)made it square, and 3)ensured that your model’s distance is the distance that is travelled in real life . To that, I might add 4)when you do your tiling material reference holes, ensure …
