Hi. I am new to CNC and also to using software. I create a model, make my toolpath and simulate it. It looks good, but when I cut it, it cuts too deep

Hi Steven Cangelosi,
Please confirm the manufacturer and model of your CNC machine, and the machine controller you're using alongside it.
Your screenshot shows that you've created an Area Clearance toolpath in Carveco Maker and while it's difficult to see clearly, you seem to have specified a Finish Depth of 0.25 inches and a Stepdown of 0.5 inches. If either of these values have been misread, please confirm the actual values you've used when creating your toolpath.
Please select the Toolpath > Material Setup menu option to display the Material Setup dialog and check that your settings are correct. In addition, select the Model > Set Size menu option to display the Set Model Size dialog and check that the job origin is in the intended position. If any settings need adjusting, be sure to re-calculate your toolpath afterwards.
Please watch each of the following demonstration videos available from our Carveco Training portal:
Thanks for your time and consideration.
