Trying to cut outside the bounds of the X/Y could be that your drawing is metric, and the machine is in inches. Or, you may not have your part located correctly in the CAD program, so 0,0 is way off of the table. Try maybe a 4 inch circle, with 0,0 in the center of the circle. Set the machine 0,0 to the center of the table and see what happens with an air cut.
