First parts, missing tabs

Ok, I successfully cut my first parts on my LR3, woooo! One issue I am stumped on though is I configured holding tabs in my program which are clearly there. When I ran the program, it did not z-step to make the tabs, just cut straight through.

This is with F360 free version, LR3 with Jackpot running FluidNC. I checked the z calibration and it went up 10mm when told to


Looks like the tabs got cut into your spoilboard.

Good catch, not on this program, that was a practice run. I guess that is a good point, it might have put the tabs had I not stop it but it was putting them below the workpiece in the spoil board like something in Z is off. Another thing to note is Z retracting too high at program start

If you move the beam 100 mm in Z - how close is it to exactly 100mm? Might want to remove the bit before checking a 100 mm move.

I did 10mm and it went 10mm

Also, another note, I programmed my strut plates in Estlcam with tabs and they cut fine. Hoping there is some smoking gun in my fusion settings
