    Hello dear brothers,

    I am new into this hobby and i own a Chinese 3040 cnc which by now works quite ok for me. I am using the openbuilds controller together with the same GRBL generator.

    Although i have many things to learn into format drawings one thing is bothering me for the time being and maybe you would be so kind and help me with his info: is it possible and how could i choose/set the cutting depth?

    Thank you very much for your kind support!

    All and only the best, God bless,
    Bogdan

    Well, depends. Which CAM application are you using? Most would show the units used

    Then, yes millimeters. All Units are displayed on the form, at the right side of the input field.
