Congrats! Did you mill your own wedding ring? THC of course...

did you ever figure it out?
Yes, and no.

Yes I got it figured out. Milled a few racks.

But the tolerances are still not to my liking. :(

I'm still going to tweak it, but being 1/4mm to 1/2mm off from side to side or front to back seems like nothing, but when milling .28mm pocket for the label, it's a ton.

So for now, I'm (slowly) milling on my drill press, and using the CNC for signs and larger pieces where that 1/2mm is not noticable.

I'm still going to eventually get it completely level, but then I have to worry about different thicknesses between chips.
 
The longer you have your cnc machine the more issues you will have with keeping your bed level if it is made of MDF like mine. Its a constant battle.
