    Mach go to zero

    When i set y0.0 x0.0 z0.0 and regen then hit go to zero button to check if the end mill is in the right spot, the z goes down first followed by y & x,
    This is not good as it drags across the job and hits clamps.
    How do i make z go down last.
    any help would be appreciated (chair)

    thanks michael.
