Test cut of some code for parts.
The machine is crippled at the moment since there's only one motor connected out of the two on the dual axis. Still does fine though but I wouldn't cut with it like that.

Levelling the bed. Profile is done at 6.5m/min with 5mm DOC and the pocket for the bed levelling was 9m/min at around 1-2mm DOC. Took longer to hover the mess than it did to run the job!

It was clean for months. It needs to get dirty lol
A dust shoe is on the to do list but just like you said, now its done I can't be arsed and want to get stuck in cutting some of the things I've got designed and waiting. Glad I did all the tidying, probes and prettiness before plugging it in!
