Any tips or suggestions on what the method is for labeling buttons on a black plastic project box? Its small box 120mm x 60mm and it has a few buttons that could do with labeling.

i think ive resolved this now thanks to your example.

Im going to run the code on my machine at some point this week and test it.

that appears to be what i am trying to achieve. You have faced the stock and then the tool path has started from the correct height after the facing operation.
