2D Toolpath Depth Issue
I am new to this, so I apologize if this is a silly question.
When I great a 2D tool-path in Carveco, and then open the NC file in Candle, i cant seem to get the tool to plunge into the material. It runs just above the material. I have reset to "Z" height with the probe and set the material thickness to .125, but I cant seem to figure it out. I am guessing that I am missing a setting or putting something in backwards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

when you select the toolpath you want to run did you setup your material thickness before you run the toolpath? I'll give a couple pics.
One is to choose the down arrow, after you choose the down arrow you'll be given a dialog box, with it you choose to set the "Z" zero on top of material or on top of the bed, you'll see there you get to state how thick the the material is, you have to make sure you do this every time, if you don't your cnc will air cut.
If this is unclear please respond.

Jeff,
Did I guess the issue correctly?
