Any Cue Cut Experts out there?

I'm trying to figure out why this is happening -
I have a full splice but that I am tapering down to size. Started at 1.1 and took it down to .95 with no issues using the tapering tab on cue cut. Let the cue sit for 3 weeks. come back today , get the zeros on my CNC. Set cue cut with a initial small diameter of .95 and tell it to go down to .89. Generate the g-code load it in Mach 3, start it up and it cuts my joint diameter to .60. Luckily I stopped it before it ruin the butt because I have a couple inches to spare. But I cannot figure out why it is cutting so deep.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I think it might be the cutter setting. So... should I revert back to the. 750 setting? Or how do I get it back in line with the correct 1.25 setting?

If you have messed with the cutter diameter setting, just measure your cutter diameter and punch in the right measurement, should be good.
Use a scarp piece and test that everything checks out.

For cuecut, the center of the spindle must be in the center of the workpiece, then the correct diameter cutter must be selected.

Either the zero is wrong, or the wrong cutter size.

It might be mere coincidence you wanted to remove .06 and it cut to size .60 same decimal, but maybe number 0 and 6 got transposed Also, an error in the comand line on the g code I'm not sure what software you are using to create your code
