Holes cutting undersized unless separated to another layer

I’m having a strange issue in LightBurn with an OMTech 80W Ruida.

  • Importing a part via DXF (see screenshot)

  • Outer profile + holes are on the same layer

  • Cut order is correct (holes first, outer last)

Problem:

  • Outer dimensions are accurate

  • Holes cut .16’’ rather than .21” as drawn

But:

  • If I move the holes to a separate layer and run the exact same job
    → Everything cuts perfectly to size

Same speed/power settings in both cases.

Has anyone seen this behavior where same-layer cuts affect hole size, but splitting layers fixes it? Any ideas?

Thanks! - Ty

Do you have a value set in kerf setting?

That’s fine, that was it. I’ve been dealing with Kerf a lot, so that’s why it hit me right away. :+1:

Enabling this setting prevents random layer edits from hanging around and messing up the next job:
