I decided to test a Harley design on the cnc today.
There isn't any heat in the area where the machine is located.
So after running the file, I took a photo and it showed some wavy cuts that I couldn't see with my eyes. I got a light and magnifier, and sure enough, there are a lot of wiggles.
I attribute this behavior to the cold temps, since this hasn't happened when the temp is over 50.
I wasted a very nice piece of Meganite and several hours. I should have waited until the end of the week, when the temps are supposed to be much warmer. Maybe I'll run it again to verify it's the temps causing it and not a mechanical issue.
