    Default Change Z settings in C2 Z-Zero command

    At the end of the Z-Zero command (C2) the Z axis is raised by a set value above the workpiece. How can I change the Z value?

    Thanks,

    Phil

    I'm pretty sure it pulls up to the "Safe Z height" which you can set in your SB3 program. Hit "VC" when you're in SB3, that should bring you to the place where the safe Z settings are.

    Default type VA

    You can type in VA and ... assign new values to any or all of the three axis
    The decimal point seems to be the most important on the z axis... x & y not so much....
    ShopBot... Where even the scraps and things you mess up and throw away are cool....

    Default Vc & ts

    Dear Phil

    We change our 'pull up' for certain operations there are two commands we use to change the values. VC (Cutter Values - safe pull up) and TS Shopbot Setup - be careful the dialog 'hides' behind the preview window - [Next] [Next] Safe Z-up [Next] (another setting) [Next] [I'm Done].

    It might be that one of these commands overwrites the values in the other, but if it's not broke don't fix it.

    Sincerely and in good faith
    Martin
