So I ran my first program today in metal, ran a few in wax and all went fine.
At the end of a contour 2d tool path, my end mill plunged through my aluminum and into my vice, destroying an expensive end mill, and ruining my vice jaw.
Looking at the code that did it, I don't quite understand why.
I am running Mach3, so I used the generic Mach3 post in Fusion 360.
Can anyone help me understand what happened? It happened somewhere between the last 2 or 3 lines of this code below. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I looked up the codes and its not clear to me why this happened.
