    That's right, as long as you tell Mach3 where work 0,0, is you're good to cut.
    I've just realised you might be considering moving the spindle in the middle of a job, that's going to give you problems but could be done if planned for in advance, you could split the job up into, 'sub jobs' for example.
    I would stick to, one job = one spindle position.
