Hi, I'm new to this starlab CNC table. I'm trying to cut out a simple, small square with a hole in it. However, when I try to cut, it cuts the circle but the torch lifts up and doesn't cut all the way through and then when it goes to cut out the square it only cuts out the top line. It traces the rest of the square but it doesn't cut it. I've tried remaking the file from scratch but the same thing happens. I do not know what to do or what is causing the problem. I've attached a photo for reference. Thank you for your help!

That shouldn't be too difficult to resolve.
It is not an issue with your design, it is your machine settings.
What plasma cutter are you using?
What thickness of material is that?

Thank you for your help! It's a starlab plasma table and I am cutting 3/16 in metal. I set it to 3/16 in sheetcam.

Re: Only cutting part of the piece
Sounds like your settings in Sheetcam for 3/16" steel may not be correct or at least ideal but before changing anything...
What plasma cutter are you using on your StarLab table?
What is the amperage you have the plasma cutter set at?
