Hi Brian: OK, I found the router mounting screws, so I can re-true that, no problem. As far as the Z goes, I zeroed as you suggested, and moved up 1" and down 1" back to the material with no problem. This was repeatable, and accurate. That is good news. SO, it seems like the problems I was having are probably in the Vcarve program itself, and I will review all of that, to makeby Jimaginator - Handibot Forum
Hi Brian: Will do, and I will report back. I just discovered when it tried to zero to the swing out plate and hit bottom, that it has twisted the clamps which hold the router. Another issue. Thanks. Jimby Jimaginator - Handibot Forum

Therefore, it cut in the air. After trying this a bunch of times, I checked for this problem on the forum, and found some similar issues. Using thby Jimaginator - Handibot Forum
