It might have something to do with the fact I use a table cutter instead of a hand held model. This means the hot wire is in contact with the same spot of plywood kit for longer periods of time, the high temperature of the wire burning into the wood and glue. Or maybe it's just the increased power of the table cutter when compared to a hand held model...
Either way, the module is damaged to such an extent that the precision the whole system relies on, is lost...

The wear on the Toolkit... |
A piece of MDF board with two pieces of wood, glued on top as guides. The wooden guides are 9mm tall (at least, they were supposed to be). So I glued a sheet of 1.5mm plasticard in between them. As this proved to be insufficient (as the wooden guides were closer to 9.5mm) I added a layer of 0.5mm plasticard. Now this little contraption gives me the 7.5mm of depth I need.

Have a watch of this video, which shows a workaround to avoid this problem with the depth guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXd3uCdRWIs
