Can you upload the .mage file too? It will contain your settings , which are not in the DXF.
oops my bad , uploaded wrong one haha
ran 4 other jobs after this one same doc and they did 3 passes
So this appears to be a non-issue then. 
wwill upload it when i get a min flat out at mo
Preview looks like it shows 3 and a teeny bit, so the last two are super close together - the 3rd (lower) line is darker.
Most likely, you did a 0.5" job and did 3 passes at 0.1666" each, and that last pass was the 0.0001" remaining (or something very similar). If you do “34%” as your pass depth, it’ll work out better.
We could potentially put in some “fudge” code to catch cases like this, but it’s not there at the moment.
i just assumed that if u say divide by depth it would do what u put in , but picking it dosent and calculates what it thinks is best ,will try the 34 % and see what happens
I didn’t actually see you wrote 18.6 and 6.2 for the values. Do you have the actual file you used?
I suspect it’s not actually 18.6, but something like 18.603.
not that exact file as i have change the doc since that happened ,
i can send another file which has done similar, set at 6.21mm doc , 1st passes only cutting around 4.8mm which results in deeper passes for the other 2 passes, i understand if it was to be caution and add another pass and take shorter cuts
but to go deeper than what has been set in depth of cut field, is concerning to me as at times tools and machines are set to their max capabilities and if setting go over these, can break tools or worse damaged material
i have couple runs to do today with same tool , will turn on debug and ssend you that as well
im running 8.0.1 still ,as in middle of big job, so i dont do updates till job is finished , piece of mind
ill email u debug file , 1st tool sweet 2nd tool ok , 3 operation it only did a min pass and than a 4.6mm pass and than went to tool change
Confirmed via email, but your settings were 18.70mm final depth, and 6.21 depth per pass, so 3 passes would get you to 18.63, with one more pass needed after that.
If you used 6.24mm it would work as expected. 6.23mm might work, but it might also make one final pass at 0.01mm depth. That last pass I could possibly filter out.
