hi Jeff,

Thanks for the input. I did have an 8-zone configuration drawn up so what you said makes a lot of sense. The 12x24 grid just matched up nicely with the 5x10 cutting area so I started to get a little carried away with the idea of focusing only on the exact zones I needed. But what you say is true, you can just mask off the areas that you're not needing at the moment.

In terms of production, I fabricate components for artists and small design companies.. so I'm sort of planning for the most flexibility.

I appreciate the feedback, I find with a lot of these CNC projects, it's REALLY easy to get out into the weeds.

Thanks!
