Z0 to the top of your material. always! every negative z value means that you are machining the workpiece. This means you can always leave the Z safety height at the same value. If you take Z zero at the bottom, you have to recalculate the safety height every time and that's where most mistakes happ...

I'm dealing with same issue/different servo though. I have been trying to correct it but have been unsuccessful so far. Just started all of the sudden. So I will be following this closely. What power do the servo drives have? What does the surface look like when you machine a square component? If t...
