    Flip it upside down
    Place it on the bed
    Run standard Z-Zero probe from the wizard

    Just make absolutely sure you told your CAM software that the bed is the zero point. I forgot to do that once. It was ugly when the endmill tried to cut all the way through the material and the spoilboard at the same time.
