Hiya,
Apologies for my poor explanation. I suppose it's not so much of a problem, more of whether I can improve my process.
The software starts at the place I define, and I place the material at that point beforehand, so just wonder if as an example it is best to mark an offset (say at 20,20) and place my workpiece there. I suppose the question also stems from changing the cutter where I quickly realised that the height is difficult to set without setting the "Z" to 0 and allowing the cutter to drop to the table and then tightening the nut on the router to keep the height as expected.
Hope that makes a little more sense.
James
