Have you watched the videos?

I'm not sure if there's a guide like your looking for, but if you ask specific questions, they'll probably be answered pretty quickly.

Is there a way to cant the settings? For example, if you have a piece to cut out of a sheet, but the layout in Mach is wrong for the sheet good you have available. Instead of re-aligning the sheet good can you tell Mach to turn the g-code sideways or whatever? I hate running back to the processor or re-arranging sheet goods just to squeeze out a cut from some scrap.

Does that make sense?

Thanks

This is a typo, right? :
e.g. G68 A12 B25 R45 causes the coordinate system to be rotated by 45 degrees about
the point Z=12, Y=25

It should be, X=12, right?

Thanks,
