I'm trying to mill my first part.
I'm having a difficult time trying to center the area properly.
Could someone point me to a how-to/FAQ on how to do it?
I'm using DeskProto and Mach3 Mill for my Taig DSLS.

Thanks for responding.
I don't know if there is a CNC term but it is setting the origin.
The bit for the mill is too far to one side, so it needs to be offset where it doesn't go beyond the limits.
So I need to figure out how to set the offsets for Mach3.
Let me know if that makes sense or not.

You jog to where 0,0 should be, and press the Zero X and Zero Y buttons.

Thank you Gerry. I'll give that a go.
