Re: How to stop Z zero at beginning of programs??

There is a work around that I just started using. In all my previous Shark/Vcarve/Aspire work I centered my image and therefore had the problem the previous post talk about, that little "kiss of death" at the beginning of each tool path.

Re: Carving pressure treated wood

Kudos to Next Wave

Many thanks to Tim and Dana for helping me trouble shoot and repair my controller. Versions 21 and 22 would lock up my computer after I installed and ran them.
