my build from the start

[M250cnc]

i was thinking the problem was more one of orientation between drawn part and machine bed and material... eg: sussing out the work flow from CAD to CAM to MACH to material

youll have to let us know chris

I have updated MY post to show the part is drawn in CAD at the lower R/H portion of XY Zero

It doesn't make any difference in which position you draw it you just put it in the same position in Mach3
