Safe Z
When I set the bit on origo it doesn't rise before it travels to the starting point - just draging on the surface. Is there any setting for this in Mach 3? I had a X-carve where it rised to safety height with exactly the same CAD/CAM. Or is it something I should adjust in the CAM (I'm using Fusion 360)?

Re: Safe Z
I suspected that. But why did it rise when I ran same files on my X-carve? It uses an web based application (Easel) where you load the G-code - is it possible they have made an idiot safe tweak for this in the application?

Re: Safe Z
I designed in Fusion 360 and imported G-code to Easel. For my new Omio machine i design in Fusion 360 (even same files as on the X-carve) and run G-code from Mach3.
"Origo".... this is a term in my native language - I recooned it would be the same in all languages, maybe not. It is simply where you set the bit to zero on the stock. The point in Fusion 360 where X, Y and Z arrows converges from.
I use the post processor "CNC Router Parts (Mach3Mill)" in Fusion 360.
