Touching on

I'm not goingto try to understand that code, it's easier just to ask you: Does that just bring the tool down slowly until it touches?

If so I could add a layer of slightly flexible material to the back of the plate (I'm just not comfortable with driving the tool into a solid surface).

Yes it does ! I use it without a cushion with 1mm cutters and it is fine (well it will be when I get my machine up and running again ) You don't need to understand the code, but I went through the exercise of finding out what it did, just for the hell of it.
