I am totally new to this, this is my first attempt to doing anything with Cad Cam software.

In the past I had someone else write the programs.

Milton,
Right clcik the machine setup1 and choose edit, then select the origin button and choose one of the dots on the top of the stock (To match where you are setting the zero on the stock in the machine). Your origin is currently defined at the bottom of the stock....

You could also edit the post processor to add in clearance (G53 Z0) after each tool change or download the alternate rev1 Mach post processor and activate the optional stop in Mach 3 for each tool change

Will try this today, Must be why when I lot the file in Mach3 is turned 190 deg from what I drew in Cad.

Thanks all for help.
