    Type VC in command line and under Safe Z pullup.

    VERY important if Z-Zeroing to machine bed to add material thickness!!

    Along with the Safe Z setting in the ShopBot software that Scott pointed out, if you use VCarve or Aspire there are some z-axis settings in the "Material Setup" section at the top of the Toolpath tab. These control things like how high it lifts between cuts while running a file.
