    jR the reason for the negative numbers is because of how this particular machine is setup hardware wise, and where it references Z0.0. Machine homes to the proximity sensor in the z axis at the top of its travel and sets home there, all subsequent movement of that axis is down from that point(negative). Its a pain in the arse to setup and orient files into the CAM for the machine but ive gotten used to it by now. I just havent had the time nor real desire/need to setup the home switches to reverse it all to "normal"

    Hah, i like how you think. Yeah i do need to set it up different. Need the downtime on the machine to do so though. Not in the cards just yet
