The YetiPilot option is not visible on the Go screen

YetiPilot is only available for SmartBench PrecisionPro+, when using the SC2 Spindle motor.

Check that YetiPilot is not disabled.

If you have upgraded to PrecisionPro+, ensure that you have completed all the upgrade steps.

I can’t find a profile to match my material and cutter

Yeti Tool continues to test different materials and cutters with YetiPilot, and the number of available profiles will increase with future software updates.

If you do not find a profile that suits your combination, you can experiment with making your own in the “Advanced profile” tab.

YetiPilot is adjusting the feed rate lower than expected 

  • Start by checking the items in the “Feed rate too low” page.

  • If none of the above items fix the issue, it may be that our presets for cutter and material are inappropriate for your exact setup.

    • Please use the Advanced Profile options to increase the target power until the nominal feed rate matches expectations.

Spindle speed fluctuating on the console

Spindle speed displayed on the console is realtime and will fluctuate as resistance is met or left (which slows down the rpm or speeds it up), and the power momentarily attempts to balance the rpm.

Range depends entirely on the size of the resistance met (e.g. material, cutter sharpness, extraction)

My finished part accuracy is not within tolerance

YetiPilot does not account for tool deflection, therefore if accuracy is required a finishing pass should be added to the job file.
