Frage WINPCnc and Z axis

Hello guys

I've try to cut some holes in mdf 12mm today and have a problem in Z axis. I use WINPC nc starter, cut2d desktop.
The deal is that I'm able to export (generic hpgl) and load my project into the winpc, adjust and start to milling however I decided to cut holes in 4 passes, and the sw is not willing to make it. X/Y looks fine but it's mill only ~1mm deep soo, can someone tell me where I make mistake?

thanks in advance
cheers

Hi Paszkiewicz,

you use WINPC nc starter.
Starter can do only one pass in z-axis.
You can use a second tool (same tool) and do next pass in z.

In full version there is no limit to z.

Thanks for the asnwer

I'm not sure if this is about passes or overall Z travel distance, I've made a experiment, in cut2d I've set start point as 11,5mm and deep to 1mm, sw warning me that I should have a sacrifice material, and in preview it looks like path is below material, however winpcnc still ignore the Z dimension and mill only ~1mm starting from 0.

At this point it seems that the sw is usable only for engraving, thats a pity that this is not communicated during shopping process.

I'm wonder how in your opinion winpcnc looks in compare to uccnc or mach3? it's 10€ more than uccnc

thanks in advance
cheers
