Here is the full file.
I set Z=0 at the top of the work piece so that G0Z0.2000 puts the bit at .2"above the work surface - is that not correct? I am referencing the top...
Regarding the set zero response. I set the origin of the work at the bottom left corner of the blank (x=0, y=0, z=0) all three times - that was...
