Hello! I was trying to run a program and set the z with the puck. When it ran it was not cutting as deep as it was programmed for. I stopped it and manually set the z height. It only lowered 2 mm. However, when I ran the program again it was going down into the material 3.5 mm further than it was programmed to do. I tried a third time using the puck and this time is was not cutting deep enough again.
Is there another way to calibrate the z, could something be wrong with the gantry the part that controls the z? Any advice is appreciated!

How are you manually setting the Z height? A slip of paper.
I have a B18+ controller for a Axiom Pro V5. I have my TOOLSET SPEED set to 150. This slows the descent of the bit onto the puck greatly. Lower the Z at full speed NEXT TO THE PUCK, then move the puck under bit and hit TOOLSET. Measure your puck height with accurate calipers and set CAD THICKNESS appropriately.

Yes I was setting it with a piece of paper. What was weird is that the program worked several times before this happens. Today I recreated the file and it worked, so not sure what was going on yesterday.

Could be something like static electricity... Are your vacuum, hose, etc grounded with a ground wire?
