Is there a way to offset the piece I want to cut?

[atwooddon]

I have a homemade CNC router with a 8" X 9" cutting area. I need to cut pieces for a toy for my grandson, however, the gcode for the pieces expects a much larger cutting area. My machine is large enough to cut the individual pieces but can't start from 0,0 and cut far enough to get all the pieces.

Is there a way to tell Mach 3 that I want it to start somewhere else to begin a cut. I could then bypass the code for the pieces that are beyond my machines cutting area, then go back, reset 0,0 to some other value and cut those remaining pieces from a different home value?

Sorry if this question doesn't make sense. I just need to tell Mach3 it is at another location other than 0,0 to start. Will an 'offset' command do this?

thanks in advance
Don

Change the G54 location on the offsets page.
