Well, That didn't take long...
I fixed my Z hight issue by putting a sheet of 1/4 plywood smaller than the molded "trough" in the water tray between it and the spoilboard.
My brother needed a 6×8 black granite oval so I started cutting conservatively at 1/16" depth per pass and 20 ipm.
Did fine for 2 passes until a got bored watching and bumped it up to 40 ipm and the clamps couldn't handle the side pressure and let go and sent the bit through the middle of the oval. 😞
There's always a bright side, so now I know that the machine and bit can handle a 3/16" pass depth at 40ipm!!!
Although it did start glowing and smoking even under water. 🙂
