I had recently redid all my software, and now i can't figure out how to get my machine to zero in a different place! Factory settings are X=6 Y=6 i had previously set it to X=12 Y=12 but do not know where to change it back! anyone? thanks! Brett

under tools you can go to shopbot setup and go through the steps. On the zero page there is places to input the position

Find the file "my_variables" and find this location (see below) in the file, you can open it with Note Pad and change the =no to what ever location you want to zero at if you have it set to no it will zero at the location it currently is at.

if you always want to zero your z-axis in the same place on the table, change these values to
' the coordinates of the point that you want to use
&my_ZzeroStartX=no
&my_ZzeroStartY=no
