Edit your cut operation. Is Overcut set to a negative number? That would stop the cut early. Are you using path rules? It could be that you have a path rule that stops the cut.

Thank you les I will check the post processors that I have used and make sure there aren’t any path rules I did think about setting the over cut for an inch to see if it made any changes

Well I found a trucut post processor that the torch stays on until the end of the paths now I need to figure out how to adjust the feedrate because it is way to slow thanks again for your input
