tool goes up during profile
Hello,
You can see the pretty simple profiling path as per picture attached.
However, on a particular location the machine won't follow the path and will goes up (diagonally), as you can see in following attached picture.
What could be the reason ?

File? Without it looks like an issue on your machine.

Re: tool goes up during profile
It appears to be a red line signifying a rapid path to a different location. It does not appear to be cutting anything.
The order of cutting steps is decided in various ways. It is not always clear to a human how the strategy was created for a specific shape.
If you include the actual model file and/or g-code file someone may be able to offer a bit more detail.

Re: tool goes up during profile
I took a close look at the files you posted. Everything looks perfect.
As chrisb said, this looks like some sort of problem due to your machine or controller.

Re: tool goes up during profile
Thank you for your reply. Do you ave any idea what I should look into ?
I have a Heiz machine, using WinPC-NC software to control it.
This is the first time I see this issue.

Re: tool goes up during profile
I am not familiar with either the machine or the controller. Perhaps some other reader will recognize those items.
I should have added previously that I ran your g-code in Camotics, a cutting simulator that is completely separate and independent from FreeCAD. The cut pattern looked perfect.

Re: tool goes up during profile
This is a bit off topic: That means you don't see any errors on recomputing the file? I have errors in 0.21 after migrating with the JobFixer script.

Re: tool goes up during profile
Can you please retry - I recommend a dry run! - without the tags dressup.
Further tests which could help to identify the problem:
- mill only the front line
- do it in one stepdown
- do a straight line.
